Hello
and welcome to Nightingale & Dolittle, it’s nice to meet you! I’m
Ruth and I'm from Bristol in the south west of England.
I have an ever-growing obsession with sewing and have grand plans to gradually create a whole handmade wardrobe. I also enjoy knitting and crochet, and they'll pop up occasionally on these pages too.
As
I don’t know anyone 'in real life' who is quite as interested in making things for
themselves as I am, and as I’ve been inspired by so many great blogs in the
past, I started my blog as a way to document my projects and connect with fellow
sewists, knitters, and general creatives around the world.
The name Nightingale & Dolittle was inspired by 2 little girls in my extended family born close together called Florence and Eliza - a comment was made about them being Nightingale and Dolittle and I liked the sound of the names together so stole it for my blog!

I have a general weakness for twirly skirts, colour, flowers, stars and polka dots, which I try, and sometimes fail, to balance out with the need to make more "sensible" garments.
Enjoy
reading about what I’ve been up to, and please say hello - I'd love to hear from you!
Ruth

DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would say hello as I come from Whitechapel in London, where did you get the name of the pyjamas?
Hi Bernadette! It's the name that the designer used for the pattern - I can't take any credit for coming up with it! :)
DeleteI've only just discovered your blog and love it! I'm from New Zealand and I've recently made a goal to have most of my wardrobe made by myself. Thanks for being an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you - happy to provide some inspiration! And good luck with your handmade wardrobe goal!
