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

Project Roundup
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

I’m getting really ambitious with Sarah’s desk chair – I want it to look fancy. (Well, as fancy as possible.) I am also in the process of making another life-sized pair of pants, this time in heavy black linen. At the moment, I have just put the invisible zip in, and I’m in the process…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I’ve used this metallic ribbon for curtain ties since I made these curtains a good few years ago now, and they’re getting a bit ratty. I came across this video about making medieval braid, and thought that I could use this technique to make nicer curtain ties, like this! I used spare yarn from an…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Project Roundup: Two Sleeves and a Plant
First off, I’ve started a new life-sized dress on my treadle machine. The bodice is complete, and the collar is attached: I’m hoping to get the sleeves hemmed and attached before the end of the weekend. Okay, the second sleeves are much smaller. Afte I made Tiffany that short-sleeved patchwork shirt, I wanted to put…… Continue reading Project Roundup: Two Sleeves and a Plant
Project Roundup
I have quite a few big projects going on at the moment, combined with being away from my workspace. Embroidery sure doesn’t look like a big project, but thousands of tiny stitches takes a while! This will be an embroidered cuff bracelet, eventually. The other snake will be yellow. I’ve also been pattern drafting -…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Project Roundup
So, because the project I wanted to complete and post today looks like this…. …. and this…. ….I shall instead show you some of the new things I’ve purchased recently. Starting with a new pattern – this is the Rosery Apparel Daisy dress. I really like the style, and the lack of zipper, so I…… Continue reading Project Roundup
