I've made two new badges recently; the red one on the right is a quote from the book Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli based on a design I saw online. The Captain Marvel one (on the left) is currently attached to a bag of mine, and I'm quite proud of it, because… Continue reading Project Roundup

Sarah’s New Friend
You've probably seen this first picture and guessed (very accurately) what this post is about, so I won't go into that. I will say that this was a lot of fun to make. I love the bright colours and gold thread on the blanket, even though the gold thread was a pain to sew with.… Continue reading Sarah’s New Friend
Try New Things
In a doll sewing book I have, I saw a pattern for a long-sleeved jumpsuit. I thought I'd adapt the idea slightly by sewing two of Sarah's garments together to make one more suited for the Australian heat. It might be just about the easiest new piece of clothing I've made! It's the perfect little… Continue reading Try New Things
Hanging Around
These photos show the progression of a recent Mollie Makes freebie project, which was originally a necklace (the big white bit at the top was for folding over the chain). And here's the finished embroidery, which I made into a mini wall hanging, tadaaa! I really like the little vines at the top, especially the little… Continue reading Hanging Around
Working Pockets!
I finally got working pockets on the shorts! They're not as neat as I'd like, and the holes are perhaps a little large, but I'm still happy. Sarah really needed these shorts, as it's getting up to 37ºC here (98.6ºF). I don't know if I'll make a third pair that aren't denim yet, unless I… Continue reading Working Pockets!
Shorts with Pockets
As Sarah only has one pair of summer shorts, I decided to make her a few more pairs, and I wanted to try and put pockets in them. For my first attempt, I'm pretty happy with how neat it is. The pocket is, however, a little small. The shorts were also made differently, to allow… Continue reading Shorts with Pockets
Project Roundup
After watching the first three episodes of the Thirteenth Doctor, I noticed that her coat has a slit in the back, so for the sake of accuracy, I added it to my miniature one. While I'm making alterations, I figured I'd put a band on the bottom of the denim jacket, for added realism. Sarah… Continue reading Project Roundup
Just a Quick S.H.I.E.L.D.
As I have been very busy with real life stuff, there hasn't been a lot of time for crafting lately, but I did manage to make another badge! The design is from one of my favourite TV shows, Agents of SHIELD, which is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You can see the original design to… Continue reading Just a Quick S.H.I.E.L.D.
Alterations
I've had the time recently to make a few alterations that I've been meaning to do for a while, starting with slimming the legs of Sarah's jeans a little, as she prefers a slim fit. I also added nice sleeve ends to this old navy jacket of hers, as the sleeves were a little short… Continue reading Alterations
New Methods
In a recent Mollie Makes edition, there was an article on making miniatures for a doll's house, one of which was balls of yarn. They were made by wrapping the yarn around a small segment of straw, which is a better method than the one I used to use, and you can see the difference in… Continue reading New Methods
