Because summer is slowly creeping towards me (in the Southern Hemisphere), I thought this would be a good time to make myself a hat, to protect myself against the heat. This brim was the second brim I made for it, and the band was added to the hat because it didn’t feel deep enough when…… Continue reading Hats On Folks

Project Roundup
I gave some of Petra’s short-sleeved shirts long sleeves, mostly to try out different sorts of sleeves and keep practicing setting them in at this scale. I really like these puffy ones, especially how neat the cuff at the wrists is. This is the other shirt I did – I always thought it looked a…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Spring Earring Collection
Ever since I made my cherry blossom earrings, I’ve wanted to have a go at more designs from Steffi Glaves’ book, and as it is spring here, I thought I’d make some flowers to wear. These three below are the newest ones. The daisies turned out bigger than I expected, and I’m really happy with…… Continue reading Spring Earring Collection
Pink Backpack
As Hazel’s wardrobe/possessions expand in number, she will need something to carry them in – therefore, I made her a backpack! The bag opens, so Hazel can carry stuff around if she needs to. It’s a lot like Petra’s backpack, though I’m not sure the fabric around the opening of Hazel’s bag is quite wide…… Continue reading Pink Backpack
Fierro’s Furnishings
Well, the first few furnishings, at least. I’ve made two sets of these tables and chairs for seating in the bakery. In lieu of thin enough wood, I’ve used strips of cardboard to make the chairs (apart from the seats and backrests, which are wood.). The tables have this really cool pink terrazzo top on…… Continue reading Fierro’s Furnishings
A Dress in Bloom
Spring is well and truly here, and with a change in seasons comes a change in wardrobe! Yes, Hazel now has a new dress, as I felt that her wool skirt was a little too hot for summer. The Swoosh Factor is a very important test for all skirts to undergo, and Hazel assures me…… Continue reading A Dress in Bloom
Fierro’s Front Counter
The front counter at Fierro’s is complete! We also got a chalkboard menu hung behind the counter, which is fantastic. The plan is to fill the three shelves in the glass cabinet with breads, cakes, and smaller treats at the top. Under the counter has shelves for wayward cash registers and anything else that might…… Continue reading Fierro’s Front Counter
Sewing Things
I’ve been sewing a few small things in-between other projects (and life!) over the last month or so, and this is them: These are furoshiki wraps – squares of fabric tied around objects like a bag. I meant to make them all the same size, but I don’t mind a bit of variety! I don’t…… Continue reading Sewing Things
Pink & White Walls
The interior walls of Fierro’s have just been painted with their final coat! Isn’t this shade of pink beautiful? Hazel picked it out herself. I’m quite pleased with how the panelling has turned out – it took a little while, but I definitely think it was worth the effort. We also have the curtain mounted…… Continue reading Pink & White Walls
Marvel-ous Scarf
I’ve had a Ms Marvel cosplay in the works for a while, as she’s one of my favourite Marvel characters, and this scarf is one of the finishing touches for the outfit. It didn’t take very long! Hand-stitching the ribbon onto the ends took longer than making the scarf itself. I love the way the…… Continue reading Marvel-ous Scarf
