Continuing my series on digital fabric printing services, today I’m reviewing CottonBee. CottonBee is based in Poland and, as the name suggests, prints on all-natural cotton materials.

Florals at Hampstead Pergola
I recently completed this dress using Charm Patterns Liz dress for the bodice combined with the three-quarter circle skirt from their Lamour dress. The wonderful thing about Charm Patterns is the extended size range, which includes multiple cup size options from A-H!
{Review} Fashion Formula Fabric Printing
The digital fabric printing industry has grown considerably over recent years, and there are now a number of players on the market. I’ve been promising a series of reviews of some of the options out there (particularly UK/EU-based services), and I’m finally ready to start sharing the results! First up is Fashion Formula. This is a UK-based service offering a wide range of fabric and paper options for printing.

The Summer Sky Dress: McCall 3730 (1940)
After a break from sewing for the last couple of months to focus on my other creative passion, fabric design, I needed a quick win to kickstart my mojo. I started this dress last year, using a 1940 McCall pattern kindly lent to me by my friend Debi, Ms 1940 McCall.

2019 Make Nine
Okay so I’ll admit, I only technically completed five out of my 2018 Make Nine - two projects were still works-in-progress as of 31 December (but hopefully to be completed soon); one ended up too daunting a prospect (so much pattern drafting!); and the perfect fabric for the planned 1940s suit eluded me for yet another year). But I did also organise a wedding and complete a dozen or so projects over the course of the year, which isn’t too bad. But on to this year’s plans!
The “Betty” Outfit at Goodwood Revival
Introducing the "Betty" outfit. One of my #2018makenine projects and a long time in the planning, this has been on my list since I saw the 1944 movie "Pin Up Girl" with Betty Grable. This year's #sewingthescene challenge on Instagram finally gave me the push I needed to bring it to life. And when I was invited to attend the Goodwood Revival I knew it was the perfect place for its debut.
