So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ .  There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer.  I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore

{sewing} Sewaholic Pendrell blouse - the reboot

Quite possibly the *girliest* thing I have ever made. EVER! But I really, really love it.  Isn't it fab? The pattern is the  Sewaholic Pendrell blouse . This is my second version (first one can be found  here ) of it. It's a super simple pattern, very flattering and easy to wear. This time I decided to add some detail to it rather than just making the plain version. I love the pleated sleeves. 

{sewing} I'm back in the game!

It's been a while. Mostly due to moving house and all the adjustments that go with that. Before and afterwards. I didn't touch my sewing machine for months. But the dust seems to have properly settled now and I feel I'm ready to revive the blog. Today I'm going to share a skirt I was inspired to make after seeing  La La Land  for the first time.
