Wow! Here I am again entering the blogging world.

Today I decided I want to track my sewing antics and thought what better way than with a blog.

I contemplated starting an entirely new blog but when I logged into my old blogger account I realised it's rather fitting that what started as a place for me to share my outfit choices and contemplate my fashion sense will now be a place where I can share my hand made clothing (and other sewing ventures).

It appears I've always been interested in fashion (although I would certainly say my nail polish addiction (PolishedNZ) and Parenthood (2018+) had changed my focus. 
My style is now a lot more focused on comfort than keeping up with latest trends. I also tend to just go with my own flow and my ability to sew has certainly allowed this trait to flourish! 

Here you can expect to see unique pieces created by me. I'm hoping to focus on pattern reviews, reviews of new 'hack' attempts, and a general place to show case my sewing. I will likely be sharing photographs and content on both my Instagram and Facebook pages in addition to this blog so be sure to check them out if you're at all interested in following along my sewing journey.

In 2018 I discovered my love of sewing and started a Instagram account and Facebook page as a place to record my newest makes. Given my new baby was the primary inspiration and focus of my sewing at that stage I choose the "brand name" TinyKnightNZ. Two years on and I'm still at it - mind I have branched out a lot more into adult sewing for myself in addition to children and baby wear for the Tiny Knights 🤴 (and maidens 👸) in my life. 

You'll noticed the old blog content here from A Girl With Some Clothes - that title and phase is gone.

I am now the proud mother of two Tiny Knights 🤴🤴 so feel it's fitting to use this "title" for this sewing blog. 

I've you've made it this far, thanks for reading and I hope you can find some enjoyment in following along my blog and sewing experience 😊

Stay tuned for more excitement!

 Finally got around to posting these.... 

I was pretty impressed with myself over these. 
I asked MyLove what to paint on my nails- and this was his suggestion...

My Facebook followers would have seen this sneak peak photo already... 

But here's more. And my favourite nail, my thumb, with the classic Play Station One logo...


What are your thoughts? 
I think I might need to make this a regular thing... Boyfriends-choice-Monday.... 



Wow, here I am looking through some of my "draft" posts and I stubble across these amazing coloured nails!


check out that vibrant green!!!

I cant even remember what polishes I used for this, but this is certainly something I plan to recreate at some point!

hope you enjoy look at these nails as much as I do :)



 So one of my favouritest favourite shows is psych! 

For those who haven't seen it watch it! For those who have you will understand the pineapple reference... I remember reading somewhere that they "hide" a pineapple in every episode- what fun! 
We watched the latest episode this afternoon, so the boyfriend suggested psych nails! 

I used China Glaze: Solar Power and Tree Hugger for the pineapples. 

Do you like them? 
Do you like psych too!? 




 Hi everyone! 

I've been looking any my beautiful Mac lipstick collection and thought it could be handy for some of you if I did side by side swatches. 


So here are the swatches of my nudes and peaches 

And here are the darker colours 


Here's the complete collection 

Let me know if you find these useful and if you want to see any full comparison posts of two or three colours.
