"I decided to go for a more vintage inspired silhouette, and I think the classic style lets the fabric speak for itself. I added a waist tie to flatter my growing tum, but I love that I'll also have the option to wear it without for years to come."

Thank you to every one of you who's liked, commented or interacted with me on here - it makes me so happy to be able to share my passion with you all.

Brogan, who works as a language teacher at a school in South Derbyshire, has become a firm fan favourite since appearing on The Great British Sewing Bee. The star took to Instagram recently to thank viewers for their support, confessing that being judged on the show has been harder than she expected.
Brogan is a fan favourite on the show
She wrote, in part: "Before going on the show, I never put much thought into what it would be like to be judged by so many people who don't know me and as a sensitive person, it's definitely been harder than I expected.
"That's why I'm so grateful for this little positive corner of the internet that we've created. A place where I can completely be myself, be lifted up and lift others up in return. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me, but if I know one thing for sure … it's that there will be a whole lot more gingham and puff sleeves along the way."
