Summer Sewing
Welcome to Lizzyshomemade and to the glorious month of June. I love the month of June, sunny days but not too hot or humid of those in July and August. I’ve been busy in the garden, tending to growing veggies and planting out tomatoes and cucumbers. The chickens are laying lots of lovely eggs nowContinue reading “Summer Sewing”
Sew homemade!
Welcome to March! This time of year in the sewing room is usually quiet, after the rush of Christmas and New Year. So this gives me a chance to catch up on orders and plan new designs and research growing trends in the fabric world! This week’s new make is the ever faithful Provence RoseContinue reading “Sew homemade!”
A very handmade retro Christmas
Welcome to this festive edition of Lizzyshomemade! I don’t really tend to make many Christmas things really as I’m not very Christmassy! However I do love a retro Christmas fabric. I have to say that my favourite Christmas make is this wonderful 1950’s style retro apron. It features ladies dressed in 1950’s style dresses carryingContinue reading “A very handmade retro Christmas”
Fabric Art!
I have been trying out a new line of products lately at Lizzyshomemade. Fabric art! Over time I have amassed lots of fabric scraps and I have been trying to think of different ways to use the material. My first excursion into textile pictures has been with a Frida Kahlo fabric. I love this fabricContinue reading “Fabric Art!”

A Handmade Christmas
It’s nearly Christmas and I’ve been busy with lots of Christmas orders through my Etsy shop. I only really make a few Christmas items, most of which are dictated by the fabric that I source. Most of my products are retro inspired, especially as I love the 1950’s. I specialise in making retro vintage styleContinue reading “A Handmade Christmas”
Halloween & Black Cats
Why is Halloween so synonymous with Black cats? Why are black cats considered unlucky? Did you know that there is an actual Black Cat Day? Apparently this all dates back to mediaeval times, especially in France and Spain when black cats were associated with witchcraft and were considered bad luck. Think Joan of Arc! TheseContinue reading “Halloween & Black Cats”
Cath Kidston
I have been a long time lover of Cath Kidston fabrics and prints. I must, at one stage or another, accumulated most of the prints available. I love the jollity and fun of the fabric plus the colour combinations. Above all they are pretty. Most people can identify a Cath Kidston fabric; albeit the quirkiness,Continue reading “Cath Kidston”
