I finished another of the little circular badges today, and this one is inspired by the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. The antlers are in green because green is one of the official colours for Terrasen, which is the country where the main character is from in the book. I used a different technique… Continue reading Finishing Experiments

The Empty Cup
Do you remember the page in my ideas book that had all those badge/button designs? I recently finished making the first one! I'm experimenting with how I'm going to secure the muslin fronts to the felt backing, and this is one option. Pros include that I know the muslin won't come off because it's not… Continue reading The Empty Cup
Contrasting Shorts
While I was making the flowery shirt not long ago, I had the idea to use the same fabric to make a pair of summer shorts, as Sarah only had one denim pair for all of summer. They're a little longer than the denim pair, to give her options. We have a bougainvillea vine in… Continue reading Contrasting Shorts
Flower Power
The print of Sarah's shirt is very fitting, considering that it's spring where I live at the moment. It closes with the usual Velcro at the back. Sarah has quite a few shirts, actually. Do you have a favourite? I quite like the flowery blouse at the top, and the Captain America shield in the… Continue reading Flower Power
More Variety
To add to the variety I was aiming to get into Sarah's selection of pants, I also made this pair. This fabric is stretchy, so they have a slimmer fit, especially around the ankles. The elastic band at the top is wider than the other pair, not that it really matters. They're great for seeing… Continue reading More Variety
Denim & Daisies
I've wanted to make a miniature denim jacket for a while now, and I only got around to it not long ago. However, I was tossing up between embroidering something colourful on the back or sewing a lace flower on. I ended up going with the lace flower. I embroidered all the paneling details in… Continue reading Denim & Daisies
Fancy Pants
I noticed recently that Sarah's choice of pants was rather limited. There's not a lot of colour or variety in there, is there? Thus, these came into life. I made them in a cotton flowery print and they're ever so slightly loose, to accommodate for the fact that cotton doesn't stretch. I'm quite proud of… Continue reading Fancy Pants
For When the Time Comes…
When I print miniature labels for things, I usually print them in large batches. In this batch was the grooming kit labels (in both sizes), and these First Aid kit labels. There were a lot of them. The printable came from Desktop Stables, and contains various horsey medical-related things like a box of rubber gloves,… Continue reading For When the Time Comes…
Finished Patches
The badges got their felt backings today... The finished result: I ended up pinning these three to the tote bag I re-vamped a while ago. And the finished Slytherin crest: Looks good, doesn't it? I was originally thinking of wearing the badge with the scarf that's below (which is greener in real life - almost… Continue reading Finished Patches
Badge Updates
I've finished the silver background on the Slytherin badge! Not in this picture, though, but... ...wait for it... Huzzah! This really feels like a milestone. Next, I'll do the green border in cross stitch as well, and after that I begin backstitching. I want to make the silver I just finished look quilted with the… Continue reading Badge Updates
