Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing female figures in our lives. May we know them, be raised by them and become them.
Hoping to dust off the sewing machine soon ❤️

Happy Easter all 🐰 Sorry I have been absent - 1 flood including evacuation dealt with, 2 middle children started high school, Miss E started primary school and we changed jobs, moved towns and moved states! Been a super busy few months but look forward to easing back into some creative work once I get my machines unpacked 💗

After almost 2 years of nagging me Miss E finally talked me into making her a Sleeping Beauty gown for Peony Patterns Character Week! This pushed me way out of my comfort zone but she LOVES the end result.

Be sure to pop over to the blog to see all the amazing creations and if you sew, there is a 30% off store wide sale on patterns to celebrate this week 😍

Miss E in her new dress ❤️

Such a gorgeous design for Spring ~ Can't wait to make some more in some gorgeous florals

Pattern ~ Dandelion by Peony Patterns

💐 New Pattern Alert 💐 Anyone still out there? After a very long (and difficult) time away from my sewing machine I dusted it off to whip up a dress for Miss E, using the gorgeous new Juniper pattern from Peony Patterns. Instant LOVE! I can't wait to sew some more of these. I just adore the tie straps and perfectly fitting elastic back. E wouldn't take it off and I'm planning a maxi length version next 😍

Much love and it's good to be back

{sample sale} Sorry everyone I’ve been having a few problems loading the sample/ex photo shoot items to my store thanks to our extremely hit and miss internet! Hoping to get them all loaded tomorrow while the kidlets are at school 💕

Hi all ~ sorry I’ve been so quiet lately 💕 Miss E has had a growth spurt so I will be listing some of her mumma made items in store in the next few days. I love them but it doesn’t make sense to let them sit in the cupboard not being worn. Most have only been worn a few times, some only for photo shoots. Please drop your name below if you would like a tag when they are loaded to the web store

Hope everyone is well xx

I made a quilt! I’m really new to quilting but the Gingham Star pattern from made it so easy. Im loving how this turned out 💕

{new} Stopped to check out this gorgeous canola crop during some lovely spring weather 💕

Miss E is wearing her new woollen blend Avarda dress ~ Pattern by Little Lizard King: Downloadable Sewing Patterns. It's perfect for wearing on it's own or layering for cooler days. I couldn't help but ass some vintage lace too

I have spent the first day in regional NSW lock down playing with some lovely new florals for mask designs.....to avoid housework 🤫

Masks can be ordered via www.missybugboutique.bigcartel.com if anyone is still needing any ~ They are triple layer, high quality fabric masks with elastic ear loops and a pocket for an optional filter.

I am also offering a complementary upgrade to EXPRESS POST on all packs of 5 masks ordered this week as I know it is a very stressful time and I am wanting the people needing masks to get them ASAP (no code needed, just pay standard tracked post and I'll send Express)

Take care xx

I finally got some personal sewing time in amongst mask making ~ Safe to say the new Posie dress pattern from the amazing Peony Patterns is a massive hit! Those pockets and the ability to add trims 😍 Miss E is one happy little girl

Pattern ~ Posie by Peony Patterns
Fabric ~ Tilda (main print)
Bebe & Photography ~ Little ol me

{masks} After tonights news announcement regarding NSW I am spending the evening mask making for friends and family ~ Masks are once again also available to purchase in my store if anyone needs one 💕

Current turn around time would be 2 - 3 days plus postage time

Hope everyone is doing well and the next few weeks pass quickly and safely xx

Anyone out there? Lately my Facebook reach has been terrible but I just wanted to share my take on the new Honeysuckle pattern from Peony Patterns ~ I went special occasion with this sew as I love this style....then Miss E wore it to the local supermarket 😂💕

Some days her curls behave and some days they just.......well they don’t 😂💕

Love this new Emilia dress pattern from ~ those straps are just 😍
Paired with gorgeous fabric from

Goodbye autumn ~ I’ll miss gorgeous evenings when it’s not too cold 🥶

Pattern ~ Maple from

New dress feels 😍 Loving this amazing quick sew with ultimate twirl factor ~ Maple dress pattern from

I've been a bit quiet here lately due to some family matters but photographing the new Hyacinth dress from Peony Patterns the other evening, my middle girl really reminded me to take a big breath and slow down. To anyone out there going through hell right now, just remember, you've got this and you can't get a rainbow without some rain 💕

{shop} Hi lovelies ~ Just planning on sewing a few ready to post Easter goodies this year and keeping it small. This gorgeous size 3 (will fit smaller 4) Easter Egg Watercolour Dress is now available in store 💕
