In Agatas Cottage
Collab with @hoosierhandmade22 / Sewing for kids to participate in #SewFruity24
updated
This episode feels especially vulnerable to share, because it’s where I dig into what I’ve been discovering through my style experiments. Clothes do so much more than cover us — they shape how we see ourselves and how others see us.
In this video I talk about:
✨ The styling experiments I tried (from joggers to styled looks)
✨ Realising there are many “Agatas” — mum, wife, homemaker, friend, professional, and just me
✨ Why style can be both confidence and self-expression
I’d love to hear from you — do you feel like you also have “different yous” that need different wardrobes?
👉 Don’t forget to check out Episode 1 if you missed it: youtu.be/eWZ0wx2gfH4
👉 Stay tuned for Episode 3, where I’ll dive into my style inspirations, guideposts, and sewing plans.
Below are a few of TED talks that I found particularly interesting:

Welcome back to another Friday Sews 🧵✨
This week has been a real mix of highs and challenges:
I upcycled one of my me-mades (spoiler: I love the final result, but the process nearly broke me 🤯).
I stitched up the cutest little bat, thanks to an Instagram reel 🦇💕.
I’ve got a new fabric to show you — and I’d love your suggestions for what to make with it!
Plus, I share updates on the Precious Fabric Challenge and a little life catch-up.
I also want to say a huge thank you for the warm reception of my Style Without Boxes video. This topic makes me feel vulnerable, and your comments and support truly mean the world 💙 youtu.be/eWZ0wx2gfH4
And of course, a gentle reminder: don’t forget to give your sewing machine a little TLC with regular maintenance 🧵🪡
If you’re sewing this week, I’d love to hear what’s under your needle!

This is the first video in my new series Style Without Boxes: Life, Roles & Clothes After 40. Starting this feels a little vulnerable for me — style is such a personal thing, and talking about it openly means showing the parts of myself that don’t feel polished or “figured out” yet. But I believe there’s value in sharing the messy beginnings, because so many of us in our 40s find ourselves at the same crossroads: not fitting into the “young” fashion spaces anymore, but not ready for the safe, age-appropriate boxes either.
In this episode, I talk about how my fall sewing plans spiralled into a much bigger realisation — that my wardrobe has become too minimal, too accidental, and that I’ve lost a bit of my flair along the way. I share some personal stories, the dilemmas I face, and why I want my wardrobe to reflect all the different versions of me.
✨ Style Without Boxes: Life, Roles & Clothes After 40 ✨
A series about rediscovering personal style in midlife — beyond trends, beyond “age-appropriate,” and rooted in authenticity.
After initial 3 intro videos I’ll be posting follow-up videos monthly where I check in on my progress, experiments, and realisations. Whether you’re sewing, thrifting, or just trying to dress in a way that feels like you again, I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

In this video, I’m sharing 9 sewing patterns I don’t plan to make again.
A few months ago, Sara @knottygnome shared her own “not repeating” list, and I loved it so much I asked her if I could do something similar. With her kind blessing, I finally sat down and pulled together my own list.
My reasons vary:
👗 Some patterns just aren’t me
✨ Some are statement pieces — one is plenty in a wardrobe
📏 And a couple… well, let’s just say the pattern itself wasn’t great
Of course, this isn’t a complete list — today I’m only talking about patterns I made for myself. If I included all the ones Alice has outgrown, this video would go on for hours!
I’d love to hear from you — do you have any “never again” sewing patterns? Drop them in the comments, I can’t wait to read your stories.
And don’t forget — this is your friendly reminder to check your machine and do a little maintenance. 🧵

Welcome back! Today I’m joining the Precious Fabrics 2025 Vlogger Tour, a wonderful challenge started by Whitney @TomKatStitchery
This challenge celebrates those precious fabrics in our stash — whether they are sentimental, expensive, designer, or just too special to cut into.
Last year, for Precious Fabrics 2024, I shared some sentimental pieces and made a zipper jacket in a tie-dye fabric that Alice and I dyed together. I still love wearing it! 💙 You can find the link to that video here: youtu.be/UbkMUqbuc6w
For this year’s challenge, I’m sharing 4 beautiful fabrics that feel really precious to me. Each of them is either a bit expensive or a designer, and I’ve got ideas for what I’d love to make with them. But here’s the twist — we’re only allowed one entry, so I’d love your help! Please let me know in the comments which fabric you think I should sew into something special.
Also, don’t forget to check out Whitney’s kick-off video youtu.be/ZXvJv8DHeyo?si=z5lAc1FJ0thnFZHs, and explore all the other talented vloggers taking part. There will be so much inspiration!

Welcome back to Friday Sews! 💕
This week was a mix of sewing, friendship, and emotions. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
✨ I made three dresses for Project Dress a Girl (full details in my vlog from Wed, Sep 3rd) youtu.be/W5yPeSN03t8
✨ A little handmade gift for my sewing friend Christine — a pincushion and matching drawstring bag.
✨ A new lunch bag for Alice! She challenged me to recreate her favourite bag from primary school, and I improved the design using fabric from my stash. Next week, I’ll be working on another custom version to fit her bento box.
✨ A bit of jewellery making, too.
Plans for the upcoming week: finishing more WIPs, tackling a big pile of mending, and lots of editing! 🎥
I also shared a life update. Saying goodbye to Ripper has been heartbreaking 💔, but meeting sewing friends brought me comfort and joy. Christine @ChristineSewsALot is visiting Ireland, so we had a lovely day in Dublin with her husband, plus lunch with Racheal @TheFrenchSeams_vlog I also did some fabric shopping at Fabric Counter https://thefabriccounter.ie/
Thank you so much for the warm reception of my washi tape video — I loved reading your comments!
💬 I’d love to know — what are you sewing this week? Have you ever sewn a lunch bag or accessory that became a favourite?
As always, don’t forget: change your needle and give your sewing machine a little TLC. 🧵✨

In this video, I’m sharing something very close to my heart — my latest makes for Project Dress a Girl. This time, I challenged myself to focus on teenage girls, using three different fabrics and three different patterns from my stash:
👗 Love Notions Tempo Dress
👗 Simplicity 2241
👗 New Look 6444
Each dress has its own style and charm, and Alice helped me pick her favorite (spoiler: it’s the Tempo Dress 💙). I love how all three turned out, and I truly believe sewing for a cause like this is one of the most meaningful ways we can use our skills.
If you have fabric in your stash, I encourage you to join in and make a dress for a girl who really needs it. Sometimes a simple dress can bring dignity, protection, and joy.

Washi tape isn’t just for journaling and crafts – it’s one of my secret sewing room helpers! ✂️💖 In this lighthearted video, I share all the ways I use washi tape when sewing:
- Keeping tricky fabrics in place when pins just won’t work
- Creating a quick seam guide on my sewing machine
- Leaving myself little maintenance reminders (because we all forget sometimes!)
It’s cheap, cheerful, and surprisingly versatile. 🌸
I also chat about where you can find washi tape and ask you about your own experiences – do you use washi tape in your sewing?
👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy this sewing hack!

Welcome back to another Friday Sews! This week I’m sharing a mix of sewing projects, future plans, fabric goodies, and a little life update.
✨ Recent Makes
A few simple zipper pouches for a charity auction 💕
A quick nightgown for Alice 💤
A lovely Linda Purse for my sister-in-law 🎁 adamsews.com/product-page/the-linda-purse by @AdamSews
A complex (but fabulous!) pencil case for Alice ✏️ lifesewsavory.com/zippered-pencil-pouch-free-sewing-pattern
🧵 Plans & Fabrics
I’m chatting about what I’d like to sew next and giving you a peek at some new fabrics I picked up.
💬 Life Update

This week’s sewing catch-up is short but full of updates! 💬
I share my newest make — a short-sleeved t-shirt using McCalls M6992 (yes, I know it’s a jumper pattern! 😄) in gorgeous green ombre jersey from Eco-Bee Fabrics. It’s far from perfect, but perfect enough to wear under jumpers and hoodies during the cold season. Next time, I’ll add a sway back adjustment and full bust adjustment for a better fit.
I also show two zipper pouches I made for a local fundraising effort to support humanitarian aid in Gaza, plus a taco zipper pouch gift for my friend's birthday.
Current WIPs include a Linda Purse for my sister-in-law and a pencil case for Alice’s new school year.
Plans? Finish my WIPs, make more dresses for Project Dress a Girl, and maybe film some videos (one of the was inspired by Sara @knottygnome ).
I also ask YOU — are you sewing for fall/winter yet, or still on summer projects? Let me know in the comments! 💬
And yes… don’t forget your machine maintenance! 🧵🪡

First up — a total win! I made a pair of cotton jersey PJs for my friend’s 4-year-old using that adorable police car fabric from Eco-Bee Fabrics, and apparently, he loves them so much he doesn't want to take them off! That definitely calls for a few more pairs 🥰

On the other hand, I attempted to follow one of those silent, super-speedy pencil case tutorials on YouTube... and let’s just say it did not go to plan 😬 It’s officially the wonkiest pencil case I’ve ever made. Alice kindly said it was acceptable (bless her), but I know I can do better! So I'm planning to redo it — with my own spin and a bit more calm and clarity.
As for plans, yes... another Linda Purse is on the horizon — but this one’s not for me! I want to make a special thank-you gift for my sister-in-law, who came to our rescue during our recent car drama. All’s well now, thankfully.

I also give a little update on Ripper — he's hanging in there, though the recovery is going slower than we hoped. He’s not exactly the most patient of patients 😿
Finally, a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who left kind and encouraging comments on my last catch-up video. Your words meant the world to me — you lifted my spirits and made me cry happy tears 💗
Thanks for watching, and as always, happy sewing!

After a bit of a break, I’m back with a proper sewing catch-up — and a little life update too.
In this video, I chat about:
🐾 Ripper being unwell — our beloved cat hasn’t been feeling great lately, and it’s been hard on us all.
🧵 My latest makes:
— A dress for Project Dress a Girl
— A hacked top using New Look 6216 and one of my beautiful Polish fabrics
— A special birthday dress for Alice made with the Love Notions Kids Tempo Dress (of course I couldn’t resist a little hack!)
👗 A peek at the fab SoSew night out and the outfit I wore
🧠 My thoughts on content creation — including some honest feelings about whether I’m still adding value with my channel.
I’d love to hear what sewing challenges and projects you’ve been working on lately!
Thank you, as always, for watching, commenting, and making this little corner of the internet so warm and encouraging. 💛
And don’t forget — clean your sewing machine and change your needle!

Welcome to my contribution to the Pattern Hackathon 2025 — an inspiring sewing challenge hosted by my talented friend Kris (Unsewcial) @unsewcial co-hosted by Dyanna! instagram.com/26bydayana
💛✂️ This challenge celebrates creativity, transformation, and making patterns truly yours.
Kris's kick of video youtu.be/X-3A6wP5vKk?si=NE5XszPPWwO-l2kG
for updates, info about sponsors etc check instagram.com/patternhackathon
In today’s video, I’m sharing:
🧵 Two super simple and beginner-friendly pattern hacks — colour blocking and ruching (gathering) at the shoulder or side seam.
👕 I demonstrate both using New Look 6216, but also suggest some indie alternatives if that pattern’s not in your stash.
🌟 My ambitious sewing plans for this challenge:
– A high-impact dress
– A shirt with a cute yoke detail at the back
– A coordinating pencil skirt and top set with panels, ruching, piping, and tulip sleeves.
💡 I also walk you through the challenge rules, highlight the generous sponsors, and encourage everyone — from beginner to seasoned sewist — to give pattern hacking a try!
As always, don’t forget: change your needle and clean your sewing machine – most sewing problems start there. 😉

This week I’m sharing my finished makes for the Sew Fruity 2025 Challenge — a fun summer sewing event organised by Yvette
@blossomsandwich
I completed a Project Dress a Girl dress, a sweet apron, and a headband.
I also share my current WIP, and let me tell you... I am in love! It’s the Linda Purse pattern by @AdamSews and I’ve added some fun colour blocking and an extra pocket. It just needs its binding finished, and it’ll be ready to show off!

Welcome to Episode 91 of my weekly Friday Sews!
This week was all about graduation joy and sewing adventures ✨
I shared the story behind the handmade outfit I created for Alice’s graduation—a matching top and skirt set in cornflower blue that came together beautifully (eventually 😅) and some of the unexpected "fun" I had while sewing it. I also talked about the top I made for Alice.
There are new fabrics, adorable sewing labels, and a sneak peek into my sewing plans for next week (yes, the list keeps growing). I gave a quick life update and shared sneak peak of my idea for the Pattern Hackathon 2025, a fun sewing challenge organized by the brilliant Kris (Unsewcial)
My video for that will go live on July 7th—stay tuned!
As always, I wrapped up with a reminder to clean your sewing machine and change your needle—it makes all the difference!

🧵 I shared a photo of Alice in her completed wolf costume for the school play (she looked amazing — I'm one proud mum!).
🎁 I also revealed two Father’s Day gifts I made for Kris:
A hoodie made using a hacked version of the Ellie & Mac Chill Tee & Hoodie
A pair of comfy PJs — both makes in calming green tones he really liked.
👗 I chat a little about the new fabrics I picked up and the very fabulous and slightly spicy dress pattern that’s now at the top of my to-make list.

📆 I share my sewing plans for the week ahead and give a little peek into our Father’s Day celebration — we went to see How to Train Your Dragon and had a lovely lunch out as a family.
And as always, I end the video with a gentle reminder to:
✨ Clean your sewing machine and change your needle! ✨
Seriously — a lot of sewing machine issues are caused by something as simple as a blunt or bent needle, or fluff clogging your feed dogs. A little maintenance goes a long way!

The costume includes a zip-up hoodie (pattern: freebie from Petite Stitchery petitestitchery.com/collections/freebies/products/kids-jack-zip-front-hoodie ), big ears on a headband, a long fluffy tail, mittens, and leg warmers — all made from light grey faux fur and black sherpa from my stash. There was fluff everywhere... and yes, my sewing machine definitely deserves a spa day after all that!
I also share my plans for the week ahead and chat briefly about the upcoming Irish Father’s Day. I’d love to hear your thoughts on sewing costumes — do you love it, dread it, or avoid it altogether?
Thank you so much for spending some time with me. And remember — clean your machine and change your needle! 😊🧵

This week’s sewing update features a little bit of everything – slow sewing, finishes from the naughty pile, and a dose of sewciable joy!
🧵 I’ve been working on the Elevated Blazer from Ellie & Mac – a long-time WIP I started last year in the wrong size. It sat in time-out for a while, but I’ve slowly been unpicking and adjusting it bit by bit over the past two weeks. I removed the pockets, shortened the length, finished the sleeves with binding – and I absolutely love how it turned out! Just a few hand stitches left to tame the collar facing.
ellieandmac.com/products/the-elevated-blazer-jacket-pattern?srsltid=AfmBOopf1VU8gdY0k0xoev0P09l06W2IW1Z-lxU9JM1GnIK1iduDEnqk
🧥 I also finally altered a faux suede skirt that has been on my mending pile for about two years. It’s now a perfect little number for autumn/winter, especially with boots!
🪡 On Saturday, I attended Sewing Sewcial at SoSew in Naas and had an absolute blast – it was so good for my mental health to spend time with fellow sewing enthusiasts. I upcycled a dress into a maxi skirt (started last year!) and finished it with a yoga waistband. It just needs a new hem and it’ll be summer-ready.
instagram.com/sosew_naas
👕 I also made great progress on a top that’s been sitting in my cut-out-but-neglected box for 3 YEARS! It finally got its moment, and I had so much fun sewing it up. A bit of hand stitching and armbands and it'll be done!
ottobredesign.com/en
🧵 On the planning front – I shared some fabric and pattern purchases, including the inspiration for a very special outfit for Alice’s upcoming graduation from primary school. I’m also working on her Jungle Book musical costumes – she's playing two wolves, and we’re focusing on reusable pieces to keep things environmentally friendly (plus wolf ears and a tail, of course 🐺).

This week, I’m diving into a week of pattern play, WIP victories, and a bit of sewing chaos. I share three versions of the New Look N6216 top, each one hacked and tweaked in different ways using fabrics from my stash — including one version that nearly ended in disaster (twice!), but I managed to save it in the end!

I also finally tackled two long-abandoned projects — a top and a cardigan — that have been haunting my naughty pile for months. Victory!

Welcome back to another Friday Sews!
This week has been full of sunshine, sewing, and staying active — and I’m feeling great! I share one of my newest makes: a cute and comfy top using New Look 6216, which I hacked with some fitting tweaks, added neckline interest, and sleeve plackets for a fun military-inspired vibe. I also talk about a secret make — a special gift for a sewing friend (shhh! 🤫).
I’ve been playing with stripe placements and exploring how to take a simple pattern and give it personality! Next week, I’m planning more versions of this pattern with new creative hacks.
I also share a mini fabric haul and would love your opinions on one of the fabric. I need to decide which pattern to use. Let me know what your summer sewing plans are too — I love hearing from you!

In this week’s #fridaysews I share my latest sewing projects and a bit of real life too. I’ve been working on a pair of school shorts for Alice — and let’s just say the options in the shops weren’t exactly modest or practical!
lovenotions.com/product/summer-caye-pants-capris-shorts-girls-2t-16-8p-16p
I also made great progress on a blouse… but I completely mixed up the dates and missed the deadline for the #SewAprilBlouse challenge. Oops! I still plan to make all the blouses I had on my list, though.
I also show you a fun new pattern I’m excited about — the Linda Purse by @AdamSews — and chat a bit about my day trip to Howth, my love of the Irish coast (and the wind!), and some gentle reminders about sewing machine maintenance. If your machine’s acting up, a good clean and a fresh needle can work wonders!
Let me know what you’ve been sewing and what your plans are for the week ahead — I always love hearing from you!

This week’s Friday Sews is a bit of a rollercoaster—filled with joy, creativity, and some bittersweet news.
I’m sharing my experience attending my very first sewing sewcial organised by the lovely Ros from my local fabric shop, SoSew in Naas. instagram.com/sosew_naas?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
Spending time with fellow makers truly filled my soul—it was the kind of joy I didn’t know I was missing. I also show you the dress I made for Project Dress a Girl, a cause close to my heart.
My sparkly sequin top, which had been sitting in my UFO pile for far too long, is finally finished—and I love it! (Spoiler: removing sequins is not for the faint of heart 😅) I used New Look N6216
simplicity.com/new-look/n6216?searchid=18070575
I’m also sharing the sad news that Eco-Bee Fabrics, a shop run by my dear friend Elwi and my absolute favourite local fabric store, is closing down. I’ve suspended my fabric-buying ban to support her in clearing some of her beautiful stock. It’s a good reminder for us all: if we don’t support our small, local fabric stores, we risk losing them.
eco-bee-fabrics.com
On a personal note, I’m incredibly proud of my daughter Alice this week—she’s overcome a big fear of needles and has been diving deep into her love for books. 💕
I’d love to hear what you’re working on next week.
And if you missed them, I also posted:

#FridaySews #SewingCommunity #FabricHaul #SewingPlans #SewingChallenges #SewLuckyJar25
It’s that time of year again – #Sewfrugal25 is here!
I’m diving into my extensive fabric collection to fill some wardrobe gaps using FREE sewing patterns. I’ve picked out 4 fun cotton jerseys and 2 adorable French terry fabrics, along with 4 brand-new-to-me top patterns and 5 jumper/hoodie patterns (including two I’ve made before and loved).
But now I need your help! Which patterns should I pair with which fabrics? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! And while you’re at it, tell me—what are your favourite FREE sewing patterns?
In this video, I’ll also go over the Sew Frugal 25 rules and give a shout out to the fabulous vloggers posting before and after me. This vlogging tour is packed with inspiration, so don’t forget to check out their videos too!
The SewFrugal 25 playlist is here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4yR6IPgkZRfEDpsEm9jIRzbrjCvfUgkk&si=qE-6Mww-bZpcMAqS
#SewFrugal25 is hosted by the amazing Sam and Ruan bringing together the sewing community for a month of budget-friendly makes. If you love sewing on a budget, you won’t want to miss this!

I’m sharing my recent makes, the fun (and surprising joy) of sewing my own knickers, and how sewing for my family brings me so much happiness.
Of course, not everything went smoothly—I may have been a little too confident with some projects! But that’s all part of the journey, right?
Plus, I’ll be chatting about the amazing impact sewing has on my mental health and why this craft means so much to me.
Grab a cup of tea, let’s chat all things sewing, and don’t forget to share what you’ve been up to in the comments!

Join me as I chat about my recent sewing projects, including underwear for my daughter and boxers for my husband. I also share my experience with Rainbow Fabrics—spoiler alert: their service was fantastic! Plus, I’ve got a special fabric in mind for my husband's birthday, and I can’t wait to show you.
With Storm Eowyn making things a little difficult, it’s been the perfect time to stay indoors and plan my next sewing projects. Stick around to hear what’s on my sewing table next!
