What I'm sewing this month - May 2026

May 07, 2026

Find out what's on my to sew list this month!

With so many lovely new dressmaking fabrics in the shop this month, I'm pretty spoiled for choice on what to make next!

I get asked a lot if I still have time to sew and how do I decide what to actually make when I'm surrounded by so many fabrics all the time! The answer is...I make time to sew and honestly, it is hard to narrow things down and choose so I try to only pick things I know I will actually make in the short time, with a few exceptions of course!

This month I've rounded up all the fabrics that I'll be sewing with in my latest Youtube video - check it out below and read on for links to all the fabrics and patterns that I'm planning to use!

What I'm wearing

In this video I'm wearing one of my versions of the Syd Graham Ruby vest. It's reversible but as a well know pink lover, I like it this way round this best! Worn with a classic white tee in our super soft organic cotton basics jersey!
