October’s Storyteller theme is Layers, and with Australian summer on the way and our Thailand adventure coming up in November, it’s the perfect time to sew something versatile!

I’ve been making the Hedgerow Dungarees by Twig + Tale — a gorgeous design made for layering, even in tropical weather! 🌴 Pair them with a lightweight tee for warmer days or layer up when there’s a little chill in the air.

I love creating handmade pieces that work for real life, changing seasons and, hopefully, a few holiday adventures too! 💚

Now to squeeze some sewing time in between the everyday chaos and counting down to Thailand! 🇹🇭✂️

Once upon a time, in a sewing room not particularly equipped for poultry, a chicken was born.

I called her Henri.

Henri had other ideas.

The moment she saw her mauve feathers covered in twinkling stars, she decided Henri simply wasn’t fancy enough.

“My name is Henrietta,” she announced.

And honestly, who was I to argue? 😂

Henrietta quickly established a few rules:

⭐ No scratching in the dirt — it ruins the feathers.
⭐ No ordinary chickens — they don't understand presentation.
⭐ Good lighting is essential.
⭐ Always photograph her good side.

When people started asking, “Can I have one?” Henrietta immediately decided she had a fan base.

I tried explaining that they were actually interested in the pattern.

“Fame is fame,” she replied.

🐔✨

Henrietta was made while I was lucky enough to be a pattern tester for the brand-new Chuckle Chicken Pattern by Rustic Horseshoe, with the pattern gifted complimentary for testing.

And I absolutely loved making her!

The Chuckle Chicken is such a super cute design, with so many options and little details to play with. There are loads of opportunities to get creative and make each chicken completely your own.

I've already had extended family asking me to make chickens for their homes, so I think it's safe to say this pattern is a hit!

Henrietta, of course, believes this is the beginning of her chicken empire.

I'm just hoping she doesn't start demanding a dressing room. 😂

*Pattern gifted complimentary as part of pattern testing for Rustic Horseshoe’s new Chuckle Chicken Pattern.*

New hive, new home 🐝💛

I’m so excited to share my new Loft Jacket by Twig + Tale, made as part of the Sew and Show Team!

I quilted it myself using a drill exterior, fleece interior and cotton lining, with folded-down pockets finished with wooden buttons.

With my recurring bee theme throughout 2026, “New hive, new home” felt like the perfect fit. 🐝

And this jacket really does fit into every part of life — I’ve worn it to work, out shopping, and even curled up at home with a hot chocolate in front of the TV!

It has received so many lovely compliments and has quickly become my new favourite jacket. 💛

🏕️🧵 The FPP Camping Quilt is FINISHED! 🎉❤️

What started as a little challenge to step outside my comfort zone quickly turned into a new obsession with Foundation Paper Piecing — and one very special quilt full of memories.

Over the past few months, I’ve stitched together block after block, each one with its own little story. From coffee caravans and bonfires ☕🔥 to family adventures, Disney-inspired hiking boots 🎀🥾, an alien mermaid beneath the Northern Lights 🧜‍♀️🌌, and even a surprise Bigfoot 😂🦶 — this quilt has become so much more than fabric and thread.

I’ve used fabrics inspired by our family, our favourite places, our children, and little moments from this chapter of our lives. Even the imperfect blocks have their place, reminding me that creativity doesn't have to be perfect — sometimes you just need to step away, breathe, and come back when you're ready.

For the finishing touches, I used a quilt-as-you-go method, polar fleece for extra cosiness, an upcycled flannelette sheet for the backing, hand-stitched binding, embroidered patches chosen by Frankie, and plenty of walking-foot and invisible-thread appreciation! 😂🙌

But my favourite part of this whole journey has been doing the quilt-along with a friend. We started with exactly the same pattern and somehow ended up with two completely different quilts. And that's the magic of making something yourself — there is no single right way to tell the story.

This quilt isn't perfect. It definitely didn't go perfectly. 😂

But every fabric, every block, every wonky moment and every little detail is part of our story.

And now it's ready for camping, cuddling and making many more memories. 🏕️❤️

One quilt. So many memories. 🧵✨

Book Week called for a little adventure! ⚔️✨

Our Rory was named after Rory Williams from Doctor Who — the brave and loyal character who became a Roman centurion and waited nearly 2,000 years guarding the Pandorica. So it felt rather fitting that this little adventurer chose to become a knight for Book Week! 🏰

I made his costume using the Traveller Cape, Breeze Shirt and Knight Tunic Patterns, all by Twig + Tale. 🧵💙

There is something so special about creating handmade costumes and watching your child step into their own adventure. ❤️

The Trailblazer Vest by Twig + Tale was not an easy or particularly quick project for me. It took considerably longer than I expected, and trying to work on it while we were living between two homes made the whole process even more frustrating.

There were boxes, moving, unpacking, sewing in temporary spaces and constantly wondering where the next piece of fabric or sewing tool had disappeared to. It wasn't exactly the calm, creative sewing experience I had imagined.
But perhaps that's what makes the finished vest even more special.

The Trailblazer Vest feels like a reflection of where my sewing is right now — a blend of my love for making clothing and my new love of foundation paper piecing. Bringing those two things together feels completely me. It is practical and wearable, but still playful and a little unexpected. It carries the frustration of the process, the excitement of our new beginning and the satisfaction of finally seeing all those individual pieces come together.

It isn't perfect.
It took longer than planned.
And it certainly wasn't made under perfect circumstances.

But when I look at it, I see my signature.
And perhaps that's exactly what I want my sewing to be: not perfect, but personal.

Paddling into Adventure 🛶✨

Another block completed for my First FPP Quilt by Rena’s Customs — *Paddling into Adventure*. And honestly, I don’t think I could have chosen a more fitting block for this season of life.

We’ve recently moved house, which has been such a huge and exciting new adventure for our family. Setting up my new sewing room has been a little more time-consuming than I anticipated, so quilting time has been scattered between unpacking boxes, organising fabric and trying to find homes for everything. 😂 But despite the chaos, I am just so incredibly happy to be in our home. 🏡❤️

The next few blocks may be a bit of a random mash-up of fabrics, colours and textures as I slowly unpack my stash — and I think I’m going to embrace that. There’s something really special about knowing that when I look back at this quilt years from now, I’ll remember exactly where we were in life when each block was made. This quilt is becoming a little time capsule of such a special chapter. ✨

This particular block has an extra special story. Rory chose the colour of the canoe to match his Obie’s (my dad’s) kayak. When I showed Dad the finished block, he pointed out that his dad had a Canadian canoe that looked incredibly similar.

What started as a simple colour choice by Rory has somehow become another little piece of family history stitched into this quilt. 🥹❤️

*Paddling into Adventure* feels even more sentimental now — a reminder of where we’ve come from, the adventures we’re stepping into, and the family stories that carry on through the generations.

One block at a time. 🧵🛶🏡

There's something so satisfying about turning forgotten fabrics into something beautiful. 💚

As part of my scrap-busting journey, I sewed the Wildvine Corset Top by Twig + Tale using a beautifully embroidered tablecloth from my stash. Instead of buying new fabric, I gave a once-loved textile a second life as a wearable garment.

I'll admit, this style is well outside my comfort zone, but that's one of the things I love most about sewing—it encourages me to try something new. The peplum shape was surprisingly flattering, and I love how this top can be worn on its own in warmer weather or layered through the cooler months.

This was definitely a challenging sew, but every stitch was worth it. To make the most of the remaining fabric, I also made a matching headband using the Twig + Tale Gifting eBook.

This project is a reminder that the best fabrics are often the ones already waiting in our stash. ✨ Upcycling and scrap busting really do go hand in hand.

I wasn't expecting my **Scrapbusting July** to spark a whole new passion... but here we are! 🧵✨

I've now finished **Block 3** of the Rena's Custom Creations quilt along, "Warm Glow, Warm Hearts", and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

This block was all about diving into the scrap basket and using as many different fabrics as possible. The result is bold, vibrant, and full of energy—just like a crackling bonfire. 🔥

Foundation Paper Piecing has completely surprised me. What started as a way to use up fabric scraps has quickly become a hobby I'm absolutely loving, and I can't wait to see the quilt continue to come together.

There is something so satisfying about watching this quilt come together, one block at a time! ☕🏕️

I've just finished **Block Two – "Glamping in Style"** from the Quilt Along by Rena's Custom Creations, and I couldn't resist adding a few personal touches.

The adorable little coffee caravan was inspired by the coffee van at the kids' swimming lessons... because let's be honest, swimming mornings definitely require a caffeine fix! ☕😂 Even more special, Frankie had been holding onto the tiniest piece of cappuccino fabric for ages, and it has finally found the perfect home as the caravan window.

I also added a little bit of embroidery inspired fabric with a cozy **"Hello"** sign on the door. It's those little details that make a project feel uniquely yours.

I'm absolutely loving seeing this quilt tell a story through fabric and memories. I can't wait to see what Block Three brings! 💛🧵
