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
Beach Breton
Back when I went on holidays to the beach, I made a Breton top for Sarah, to take in her suitcase and take pictures of on the beach. I made the shoulders slightly wider, so the top offers more sun protection (which is definitely a necessity here!). The fabric came in a fabric pack as… Continue reading Beach Breton
Lionhearts
I finished the Gryffindor scarf not long ago, completing the mini set. Ah, don't they look great all together? I'm really happy with these pictures, too, I think they really capture the Gryffindor spirit (as cheesy as that sounds). Sarah was willing to do some exploring for the camera, and she did so quite well,… Continue reading Lionhearts
Little Claw
I finished the mini Ravenclaw scarf, and I'm loving the bronze yarn in moss stitch! I've just got Gryffindor to go now. I thought it fitting to take pictures of the Ravenclaw scarf in Flourish & Blotts as Sarah was browsing the shelves. Because of this scarf, and because the Ravenclaw common room is at… Continue reading Little Claw
Mini Slytherin
It's taken quite a while, but I'm back to making all four mini Hogwarts scarves. Ages ago, I made a Hufflepuff one for Sarah, and I just finished the Slytherin one. I used the same stitch as for Sarah's Hufflepuff scarf, called moss stitch. The Slytherin one is a little longer, which was a complete… Continue reading Mini Slytherin
Birthday Gifts
My birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to receive some very kind gifts, such as these three books. Hotel Valhalla is a companion book to the Magnus Chase series; I'd had the sewing book from the library before and made this from it; and I would absolutely recommend Tough Mothers as… Continue reading Birthday Gifts
