I've done my best to produce a full and detailed sew-a-long for the @Cashmerette Kimball Bomber Jacket which is a club pattern. The fabric is sponsored and is this amazing jacquard from Longan Crafts (exact fabric linked below) and I made the jacket in a size 2 E/F cup

Let me know what you think in the comments below and what else you'd like to see a sew-a-long for!
We did two weeks of Greek Island hopping with just a 40L cabin sized rucksack each so I thought I would do a little round up of my capsule wardrobe. It was actually so fun to have a small mix and match wardrobe with me and I really enjoyed how easy it was to get dressed in the morning.

For reference, I started working on my wedding dress back in January of this year when I chose my fabric and finally finished 5 days before my wedding in November. I have been filming all year and I can't wait to show you how I got on!

It has been the most difficult, most exciting, most inspiring creative journey and I can't wait to share it all with you. The patterns I started with were the @Tammy.Handmade Jessica and the @vikisews Ornella but by the time we get to this vlog the pattern pieces have all been significantly redrafted by me!
