First project on the go is something new to me – a genuine, going-outside bag. It will be small and circular, and at the moment, it’s going well. (*touches wood*) I’ve also started Christmas sewing, very early! I saw these patchwork star decorations and wanted to try them out with leftover Christmas fabric scraps from…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Something I like to do with my self-drafted patterns is to give them a name and a pattern pouch; so, with the completion of my second self-drafted skirt, it is officially the Frances skirt. I also made a little booklet with the instructions to go with it, so I don’t have to find the magazine…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Firstly, I’ve decided to make myself some nice sewing equipment, mainly some pattern weights and a wrist pincushion. These here are the rectangles for the pattern weights: I chose an assortment of blues from my stash. I’m filling them with blind-baking weights and scrap fabric, so they should be weighty enough to hold down a…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Way back in the autumn holidays, I started this embroidery hoop: The bottom half will be a field of sunflowers, but I haven’t picked it up since those holidays. Hopefully I’ll find time soon to do some. What’s this now? This panel – and seven others – are going to be the legs of the…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I’ve been working on a new garment, which is getting so close to being complete! Can you guess what it is? As a result, progress at Tea at Yaz’s has been slow. I had some spare snake plant leaves, so I thought I’d make some smaller plants with them. The pots are assembled, but not…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Little Sewing Projects
It’s been raining all day in my corner of the world, so what better to do than start a whole bunch of little sewing projects? First off, I use this bag for groceries, and the jute handles have worn away. You can see the plastic core to them quite clearly. I mended these handles with…… Continue reading Little Sewing Projects

I believe this is the first Project Roundup of this year, according to my records! These are always fun to write, even if they get fewer views. First off, I’ve cut out another dress! It’s a Daisy dress by Rosery Apparel, and I’m not poaching the sleeves off another garment this time – I’ll be…… Continue reading Project Roundup
2023 Year in Review
It’s that time of year again! I can’t believe it’s nearly 2024. January: February: March: April: May: June: July: August: September: October: November: December: What a year! My goals last year were to renovate the miniature world, make myself some shirts, and improve my photography. I did purchase a reflector during the year, which I…… Continue reading 2023 Year in Review

These little candle holders I added to Sarah’s room this week were really quick to make – only a couple of hours all up. I glued the candles into them after I drybrushed them with gold paint. I reckon the drybrushing looks really effective! I reckon Sarah will put the other two on her bedside…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Sarah’s new bed is coming along nicely; the frame is complete, and I’ve made a mattress. It pretty much just needs bedding now, which I haven’t got around to stitching together yet. I’m thinking about a change from the stripes, maybe something starry? I’ve also been cutting out hexagons from fabrics in the fabric stash…… Continue reading Project Roundup
