How to make The Mortmain party skirt!
This year, I’ve been coveting a sparkly, twirly skirt for festive get-togethers. Having found some irresistible fabric, I thought a hack of The Mortmain dress into a skirt was just the thing. Add a lining, and you’ve got a luxe, bespoke skirt that’ll get you in the party mood.
Seam finishes for The Buchanan
Our Buchanan gown provides a great opportunity to get your seam finishing perfected - the loose fitting style means the ‘guts’ are on show a fair bit! There are so many different methods, some more time consuming than others but finishing the inside of your garment beautifully will help take it from home-made to couture… Put the overlocker and the pinking shears away and try one of these methods instead.

The Mortmain Fabric Inspiration
In our humble opinion, The Mortmain is a really versatile dress pattern which works in a variety of colours and prints.
Lovely Lovely Haberdashery…
We just love the planning stages of sewing - oohing and ahhing over fabrics and haberdashery and plotting the final details of our makes. It’s all part of the fun of dressmaking, and the beauty of making your own clothes is that you can choose JUST the finishing touches that you want.

Presents for Isla
There was a bit of excitement at Gather HQ last week as we both became aunties again! Isla Lily finally made her appearance last Friday - is there a better reason than a new baby to get crafting? No.
