I finally decided on a design for the other side of the zipper pouch! The main part of it is these moon phases. Next, I put a teacup in one corner…. ….and some plants in the other corner, to balance it. Then I thought the teacup needed a design because it was very plain, so…… Continue reading Second Side

Tee’s Long Sleeves
Between a week of crocheting squares, sewing panels together yesterday…. ….and sewing on pockets this morning, Tiffany’s cardigan is done! “It’s so warm!” The sleeves are a little bit tight, but she can still get in and out of them. Either way, Tee loves it! I was inspired by a similarly-constructed cardigan in a crochet…… Continue reading Tee’s Long Sleeves
Meet Tiffany
The collection of pattern pieces in my last Project Roundup is fully assembled – meet Tiffany Faust! She loves needlecrafts, especially making clothes. She often makes her own clothes, because the regular avenues don’t have stuff she likes wearing. Her friends call her Tee, because she thinks her full name sounds “too old-fashioned”. She works…… Continue reading Meet Tiffany
Adventuring Backpack
I wanted to make Petra a backpack because long days adventuring need packs that don’t cause back injuries, and this boxy backpack is what I came up with. The base is reinforced with glue and a double layer of fabric to help keep the box shape. In my constant quest to add embroidery to everything…… Continue reading Adventuring Backpack
Project Roundup
I’ve been making lots of progress on the embroidered zipper pouch this past week. Nearly there…. ….and it’s finished! I love the pathway, using negative space is definitely something I’d do again. Just have to work out what I’m doing with the other side now! I’m also making another of Sarah’s friends; I made the…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Zipper Pouch Beginnings
On an impulse recently, I decided to finally make an old zippered pouch kit with an embroidered front. The white spaces around the little path will be filled with plant life, with a cool negative-space-effect. I got this far taking regular progress photos, then completely forgot until this morning! This gives you a good idea…… Continue reading Zipper Pouch Beginnings
Long Sleeves
Petra’s wardrobe has been diversified with this long-sleeved top. The sleeves are set-in, which I’m very happy about! This is the first time I’ve done set-in sleeves and it’s worked. I wanted something less bulky than the jumpers, so it could fit better under overalls…. ….and low-necked to allow for a scarf. I used the…… Continue reading Long Sleeves
Old/New Bag
Sarah’s old leather bag has started to crack, so she was in need of a bag that would last, which was a quick in-between project! I reused the front buckle from the old leather bag, and I added a buckle on the strap…. ….and D-rings on the sides. This bag is also lined, which I…… Continue reading Old/New Bag
Project Roundup
I’ve made three large pots for Tea at Yaz’s, seen here with the smaller pot for scale, so now they’re all ready for Petra to plant some plants in. I also finished adjusting her grey pants! I made the legs slimmer, put on a new waistband and made the elastic inside tighter to stop them…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Re-Made Jumper
In order to re-knit a jumper, sometimes you’ve got to completely unravel two of the sides (the front and back are the bundles of yarn just under this text). Then you’ve got to sew it together…. ….and you’re good to go! I’m very happy with the neckline, because I usually cast off really tightly. This…… Continue reading Re-Made Jumper
