So that's all out of the way then, and the new year commences with enthusiasm and a keen desire to get stuck in to a few of the patterns we've been wanting to make up for a while. That new year feeling of renewed energy combined with the arrival of some tempting new fabrics and we're all set! Just thought we'd share what's in the pipeline....

A practical make to start with, the Maven Patterns Maria Apron .This studio apron is so cool, and just the thing for rolling up your sleeves and getting down to it. Paired with this Nani Iro Herringbone Canvas it's going to look the business....

Astonishingly, we haven't made up The Archer Shirt yet, although we've seen some fabulous versions of it in the shop and online. So this one is definitely at the top of the to-do list, and when this gorgeous Japanese Patchweave Cotton arrived this week we thought it's gentle crispness would be perfect for a neat little button up shirt...

This Lisette pattern is an old favourite, and sadly it's about to be discontinued :-( The front pleat skirt we've made many times but there's so much lovely wool around that we're going to make it again in The London Cloth Co - Kentish and wear it with a pair of high heeled leather boots!

Dying to make these! Let's pretend it's summer and slink about in a pair of bright pink flowery City Trousers, sure to cheer everyone up... (Dahlia Print Stretch Cotton Sateen)

This lovely new Japanese print has been VERY popular since it came in this week. Liesl and Co's gathered Shorts and Skirt pattern will be perfect to show off the fabric's gorgeous drape, but shorts or skirt?? Dilemma time...

And finally, a simple but beautifully detailed little top to go with [shorts or skirt??] Using the Japanese Patchweave again because it's so pretty, this Chai Tee going to be NICE...

So watch this space, we'll be sure to share when they're all made up. Hope you're enjoying your own new year makes... xx
