A Coat For Frankie Rose - The Finish Line

🌹 A Coat For Frankie Rose 🌹 
.
Frankie Rose, my eldest daughter who is entering double digits this year. A gorgeous, honest, loyal human being who made her entrance into this world at 36 weeks 5 days gestation as a little rose bud.
.
Throughout her life, Frankie has shown so much strength, resilience and love and it has been a pleasure watching her grow into a beautiful girl, just like a rose which is her middle name.
.
I have wanted to make a warm coat for Frankie to match the one I made for Kailey and Twig + Tale's new pocket pack couldn't come at a more perfect time - to feature a Flora and Tulip pocket design - perfect for a coat for Frankie Rose!
.
I made the coat with Frankie's favourite colours in mind (of course it had to feature mint!) and subtle floral fabrics to keep with the overall floral theme. I stamped Frankie's name on the inside of her coat to really make it hers and hand embroidered a small message on the inner Tulip pocket.
.
I loved making this coat and view it as a celebration of Frankie's growth. Especially since this is now the largest size of the children's patterns before I start making her adult size clothes 🥲 the days may seem long but the years are definitely short and I treasure each of these moments with my children.
.
I received the Pocket Pack #2 Tui Collection Pattern complimentary in exchange for joining the Twig + Tale Sew + Show team and helping show how the pattern works on a variety of different bodies. All opinions provided, however, are my own.

Heirlooms & Toadstools: Stitching a Woodland Dream

Image
This month has been all about heirloom sewing, imagination, and embracing a little bit of woodland magic. Toadstools have long appeared in folklore, legends, and fairy tales passed down through generations. In much the same way, heirloom sewing preserves traditional skills and craftsmanship, carrying stories forward through every stitch. This month's sewing brought those two ideas together—creating garments inspired by woodland magic while embracing techniques and details designed to be treasured for years to come. I have officially begun creating my very first Renaissance Fair outfit, heavily inspired by whimsical toadstools and enchanted forest wanderings. While the character itself is still very much developing, the wardrobe is slowly bringing her to life one garment at a time. The centrepiece of this month's sewing was my Overland Cloak, made from luxurious upholstery velvet and lined with the most delightful mushroom-print ...

The Turning Light: Finding Our Rhythm Again This March

Image
March has felt a little like standing at the shoreline—watching the tide come in and out, trying to find the rhythm again. Some months arrive quietly, but this one arrived with waves. There was grief this month. Losing Nana shifted something in the rhythm of our family. Grief has a strange cadence—it interrupts the ordinary beats of life, slows things down, and makes everything feel slightly out of step for a while. Some days felt heavy, like walking through thick fog. Other days felt unexpectedly light, when a memory surfaced or the kids said something that would have made her laugh. But rhythm has a way of returning, gently. In the middle of everything, life continued to ask us to find our footing again—through parenting, work, school runs, dinners that sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t, and the everyday negotiations that come with raising kids. Slowly, the small patterns started to reappear. The familiar beats of our days: packing lunches, conversations i...

A Dress Worth Every Stitch

Image
Some projects become so much more than fabric and thread. When Twig + Tale released the Windward Dress, I knew it was destined to be part of one of life's biggest milestones. Long before settlement day is even here, I have imagined myself wearing this dress as we stood in front of our very first home, placing that long-awaited SOLD sign on the front lawn. It wasn't just another handmade garment—it became woven into a memory we had spent years dreaming about. It couldn't have aligned more perfectly with June's theme: Chapters. Buying our first home has been made up of countless little moments—paperwork, planning, phone calls, emails, dreaming, packing, waiting, and hoping. Each one has been another page in our story, leading us to a brand-new chapter. Creating the Windward Dress felt much the same. Every carefully sewn seam and beautifully engineered detail brought me one step closer to a finished piece that tells its own story. ...
