I’ve made a lot of progress on the 13th Doctor hoop! I’ve completed one…. ….two…. ….three lines of text…. ….as well as started on the surrounds. Half-finished goggles here. I’m very happy with how flat and neat the satin stitch is on these, I usually have problems with it being uneven but this is great!…… Continue reading 13 Hoop

As I have limited space to store my miniature sets, I plan to re-make the Diagon Alley shops so they can store their own furniture inside. In the process, they’ll be getting a makeover, and first in line is the old Three Broomsticks. As you can see, its new owners have renamed it to Tea…… Continue reading Project Roundup

“This is the new playsuit I ordered from my friend at Madam Malkins’!” I wanted to see if I could put pockets in one of Sarah’s playsuits, and Sarah also really liked this fabric. As you can probably see, these pockets aren’t actually visible from the front of the shorts, which I’m very happy…… Continue reading Unboxing

You know the whole 'ugly Christmas jumper' thing the Northern Hemisphere has? Well, I wanted to try making one, but as it's summer in Australia, I had to modify the idea a little to make an 'ugly Christmas T-shirt'. I didn't do very well on the 'ugly' part - I think it looks quite nice!… Continue reading Off Duty Elf
Crow & Cup
Without a cup.... ...with a cup.... ...and done! This quote and the crow & cup symbol is from the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo (which I highly recommend!). I mounted it onto a square of cardboard, but I'm still debating what to do with it. I could sew it onto a jacket as a… Continue reading Crow & Cup

I've been making some small jars recently, to be 'filled' with jam and honey, which would be delicious on toast... The honey won't be that bright, and both the lids still need painting. I can't wait to glue the labels on! I also started this little embroidery, I'm not sure if it's going to be… Continue reading Project Roundup

I finished making two new badges recently! I made them at the same time (because they're kinda similar), and I'm really happy with them, especially the one on the right. I love the different shades on the planets, and the little string of white stars meandering through. The badge collection is now up to 18… Continue reading Space

I made this long-legged jumpsuit a while ago, as I wanted to try making a winter one-piece for Sarah, but I didn't think the long legs were quite right. So recently, I chopped off the legs to make it a summer piece. I also added lace at the bottom, which is an idea I've had… Continue reading Adjustments

I made an 18th birthday gift for a friend recently, and it went from looking like this... ...it's got some facial features now! To the finished product! With the accompanying card. I sewed an '18' on the back to personalise it a little. It has a pretty cute face, I have to say. I love… Continue reading Party Bear

The second Princess Academy badge is done, one year after the first one! There's a fair bit of symbolism in this badge, all pulled directly from the book, but the main bit is the bunches of miri flowers on the sides. I want to incorporate these little pink flowers that the main character, Miri, was named… Continue reading Two of Three
