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

{Sew Over It} Susie Blouse number 2

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about my second go at the  Sew Over It Susie Blouse . I made it once before and you can find that post  here . I really enjoyed making it then and I wanted to make another version. This time, with the 3/4 length sleeve. Here it is.

{sewing} Arielle skirt

One of the projects that came to life during the Me Made May whirlwind this year was this gorgeous  Arielle skirt , by Tilly and the Buttons. I knew I wanted to make it as soon as the pattern was released, all the way back when. I bought the PDF straightaway and printed it out. But it stayed in a corner for over a year - almost two! "Why?" I hear you ask. Well...

Me Made May: taking stock

Me Made May is finished for another year and I loved taking part in it for a second time. I found this year so much easier though. I had no idea how many handmade items I've added to my wardrobe in such a short space of time. Especially given the almost 6 months I didn't sew at all last year, while we were getting ready to move.
