After however-many-years, I have finally made myself a summery garland! There’s a bit of a mix of beach-related things and flowers/foliage on there, which is just about right. Peach shell, sunflower, and sun designs by Steffi Glaves And I found a permanent place for Bubbles, too. I did have Bubbles sitting on my desk prior…… Continue reading Summer Garland

Stuff that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else.
Completed Cosplay
With all the life-size garments I’ve been making recently, I felt I needed a little break from all the large, involved projects. So, I decided to dedicate a day or two to a small project – which led to the completion of my Ms Marvel cosplay! The small project in question was this arm bracer…… Continue reading Completed Cosplay
2021: Year in Review

Six Years
Every year the number on this post gets bigger, isn’t that weird? I must once again thank everyone who has stopped by to read this blog, whether you decided to stick around or not. It’s mostly become a place for me to document what I’ve made, but I am very glad if you found something…… Continue reading Six Years
Christmas Earrings
Because I really enjoyed putting together my spring earring collection, I decided to do a small collection of Christmassy designs. These little trees were definitely the most complicated ones to make! I had to make the cone shape with the beads on the inside, then turn it inside out to get this effect. I did…… Continue reading Christmas Earrings
Christmas Cheer
The sun has finally emerged in Sarah’s corner of the world, and she and her friends spent the morning putting up Christmas decorations. P: Do you need help with yours? T: I already finished them! But thanks, P. (Let’s agree to ignore that the window display is still a winter one. I think that’s a…… Continue reading Christmas Cheer
Neutral Pants
I finished another pair of pants for my life-sized wardrobe today – these grey linen ones! I used the Simplicity 8457 pattern again, and I am really happy with them – they look so neat and professional, and the invisible zip is mostly invisible! The pockets are also sitting flatter than my first pair, which…… Continue reading Neutral Pants
Four Firsts
My latest addition to my handmade wardrobe, Simplicity sewing pattern 8457, had a lot of new techniques for me to try! The first one being the not-elastic waistband, which took a bit of fiddling to get right. These pants have an invisible zip on the side, which is only the second zip I’ve ever put…… Continue reading Four Firsts
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
