My long time blogging buddy Anne got married on Saturday and as a little surprise I made her a zipper pouch to stash her lip stick and other bride must-haves for her special day. Anne lives in Brisbane so I made this last weekend and popped it in the post on Monday to make sure… Read More
Melissa from Think Bowtique, the huge online craft and haberdashery supplier and one of my lovely blog sponsors, recently asked if there were any items from her store that I would like to use for a crafty project. After a quick browse, I asked her to put together some flowers, hair clips and associated accessories… Read More
When I made my most recent pouch for the Sweet Pouch Swap, I felt like it needed something a bit extra. A bit of bling perhaps? Several years ago I used to dabble in some jewellery making and I’ve kept all my supplies and tools, so I made a little beaded zipper pull. I was… Read More
Sponsored by Nuffnang Have you met the fifth member of the Sew Delicious family before? Pharlap is our seven year old miniature dachshund. He is my baby and I took this opportunity to sew him something cute! Pharlap (my husband chose the name, but it suits him – he runs fast on his little legs!)… Read More

The last few months I’ve been wondering if I should continue with my Etsy shop. I find it pretty time consuming. Making, photographing, photo editing, listing… That said, my sales tick over, slowly but surely. I’ve been able to use that very small income to buy new fabric and other crafty bits and pieces. Some… Read More
I had such a lovely response to Lucy’s birthday outfit (thanks everyone!) so I thought I’d finish the first birthday posts with a tutorial sharing how to make her cute headband including the pretty yo-yo embellishment. This is a really easy project and a great way to use scraps left over from making bigger sewing… Read More
