Brumby skirt

Top: Mission maxi tank, Necklace: Elk, Shoes: opshop So apparently I've been on a mission to make all the pink things. Although I did actually finish this skirt as a pattern tester for Megan way back in January. I signed up (along with most of Melbourne it seems!) with the intention of making it in denim but somewhere along the way decided that a midi in this vibrant viscose would be the way to go. As a tester I did receive the pattern for free, as well as one of Megan's Maker Tees as a…

Sooooo, I’m supposed to be working on my Christmas dress, but so far I haven’t been motivated to start tracing my pattern and working on the muslin. (It could have something to do with …

Hello! I'm back with another Brumby skirt. This time I made up a Small, as the Medium even with 1" taken off was too big - this is now on the snug side, so I'm not there yet - I think next time, a S with slight smaller seam allowances will be perfect. I bought this pretty fabric from John Lewis - again, why?? It's totally not the kind of colours or pattern I wear! I love the two tone print on my last Brumby - I must stick with those from now on!! Plus colour blocking, and plain fabric with…

Well, it's becoming clear to me that I have no sense of proportion. I barely post for months, and then inundate my blog with as many posts in two weeks as I've posted in the past year or so! But there you are. And here's my Brumby skirt! I hesitated for a week or so with the pattern in my cart, and then there was a fab Black Friday sale that sealed the deal. My husband snapped the photo for me while we were out for our annual "Christmas/New Year's Family Breakfast." It was snowing at the…

I went to a wonderful wedding just gone in Norwich, and had my first experience of shape note singing - an a cappella folk hymn singing with its roots in 19th-century America. It was very moving and I loved taking part. And I wore my new Brumby Skirt for the occasion! The Brumby is Megan Nielsen's new skirt pattern, and it's very loveable - it has nice topstitching detail down the front, and lovely big curved front pockets. And I knew just the fabric for it - in South Africa about 15 years…

It’s interesting how often trends are repeated. We are back in a season of raw hems on denim, and i’m not gonna lie, I really like it. I apologize to my dad – i did infact pay for jeans with ripped holes in the knees. I know. I could have done that myself. But sometimes trends that seem a little strange can work to your advantage. My original Brumby skirt sample has been worn to death, but something I really hate was that since it was once of the first samples i made, i had lazily used white…

I had lunch with a friend today (who I just found out is preggo, YAY!!!!) and I'm in a bit of a silly mood, so I decided to don my cowboy boots & this dirndl skirt I recently made. A friend of mine found these boots in a vintage store in Melbourne a few years ago, and bought them for me as they were my size, fate!! Also wearing: Vintage bangle from my MIL, Swarovski broach a gift from same friend. The skirt is made from vintage fabric, and has one of the many beautiful buttons my MIL got for…

Get ready for some serious outfit inspiration, ladies.

This make has been sitting in a back log of projects waiting to be blogged, meanwhile, I'm aware that whilst the sun is out for the next few days in a glorious end to September, Autumn is kicking in! The notable thing about making the Brumby skirt, pattern by Megan Nielsen, is that all the instructions can be followed from the Megan Nielsen pattern app and I did just that. It's a straightforward make and you can view each step of construction on the app. Notable features a shaped waistband…

Snitches Get Stitches: Tablecloth Brumby skirt

When Megan Nielsen released her new Brumby skirt pattern I thought it was cute but I wasn’t sure it was for me. I love the big, fun pockets, but I wasn’t sold on the wide waistband. I r…
