Bianca Baby

Dance classes are about to go back here in the southern hemisphere so now is the time to make sure you have the latest pattern from Rebecca Page



It is such a fast sew, which was really important for me as Bianca was only home for 2 weeks over Christmas.


Bianca is wearing the basic version. It is lined and all the seams are enclosed so it is very comfortable to wear.


The side seams are on a diagonal towards the front, giving a very slimming look (not that Bianca needs that)


The racer back sits perfectly around her shoulder blades which is really important for Bianca, so she can move comfortably


This bralette is size xxs and is made of Lycra from Spotlight


Here are a few detail shots of the front an sides






Of course it wouldn't be a fun photoshoot without Bianca being her true self.


to get this first shot I told her she was being to much


Bianca being sexy 


Asked her to do something with her hands


Suggested we needed a side shot


This was her saying "if I can't be silly are we finished?"

Bianca decided to team the bralette with a pair of Pose Pleated Pants in Crepe. 

Here are the links to the patterns



Both patterns are available in kids sizes too

Doing my bit with a FREEBIE

This year I have decided to do my bit for the planet by not buying any new clothes. I will make do with what I have or sew what I need.
With this in mind I went through all my clothes and found a pair of jeans that couldn't be repaired 😢
I didn't just want to throw them away adding to the tons of clothes that end up in landfill every year, so I went looking for an easy scrap busting pattern. 

This is Rebecca Page's 


 It turned out really cute with my handbag but when my 13 year old niece came over and we found a few different ways to use it


 Makes a lovely wrist cuff


We wrapped the cuff part around her hair twice for a cute hair tie


 Then we realised it would make a cute ring too

This was such a quick, no sew make because I used the hem of the jeans to make the cuff. The only thing that cost anything was 2 sets of snaps.

Awesome FREE school holiday fun that's good for the planet too

Get the FREE pattern from the link below
