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
Red Riding Hood
I didn't really have a use in mind when I made this cloak, apart from 'just to see if I can'. I guess sometimes you do need those sort of projects, though. It clasps in the front with a simple hook and eye, and it's bordered with a darker red yarn. The swirling designs on… Continue reading Red Riding Hood
There’s a Female Doctor!
I'm very excited about this, and I can't wait to see how the Doctor approaches being female. See ya! FillieFanatic
Project Roundup
My main project at the moment is four embroidered patches, three that are from Mollie Makes. The Mollie Makes ones are inspired by badges you'd get at Girl Guides or something similar, but these ones have qualities like Patience... ,,,Kindness and Creativity, which I haven't started yet. The border is entirely satin stitch, and definitely takes a… Continue reading Project Roundup
Cold Weather Gear
Where Sarah lives, it's been quite cold recently, and her jacket hasn't been keeping all the cold air out. This one looks much better than the old one, don't you think? It's got all the same things as the old one, like a hood and pockets. It's just made of a thicker fabric. Here we… Continue reading Cold Weather Gear
