Sarah’s Thirteenth Doctor cosplay has had an upgrade – this is what it looked like four years ago (!): And this is what it looks like today: The shoes I made a while ago, but this post’s focus is the pants! I made them from scraps of the fabric I used for my life-sized pair.…… Continue reading Cosplay Update
Project Roundup
I believe this is the first Project Roundup of this year, according to my records! These are always fun to write, even if they get fewer views. First off, I’ve cut out another dress! It’s a Daisy dress by Rosery Apparel, and I’m not poaching the sleeves off another garment this time – I’ll be…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Patchwork Chaos
Because it is still hot and humid where I live, I thought I’d make Tiffany something patchworked after many a hot afternoon spent watching Carly B on Youtube. She works quite a lot with patchwork using really colourful fabrics, so I raided my stash. These fabrics come from magazine freebies and offcuts from an old…… Continue reading Patchwork Chaos
Tea at Yaz’s Renovation
That is right, friends, the niggling feeling that ‘I could do that [miniature building] so much better’ returns! This time, Tea at Yaz’s is due for a facelift. It’s the first store along this little street that I made, so I think it deserves a bit of love. At the moment, I’ve just completed the…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Renovation
Navy Double Gauze
I finished this dress a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve only just got around to photographing it. I used the same pattern as my library dress, but I brought the neckline in a bit, so now it’s more of a circular neckline. I also substituted the Rosery Apparel Daisy sleeves, like the library dress.…… Continue reading Navy Double Gauze
Birthday Plant
It was Petra’s birthday on Thursday, so to celebrate, I made her a potted palm! It’s probably one of the best-looking plants I’ve ever made. I used a template and the instructions from 50 Makes for Modern Miniatures by Chelsea Andersson, which were invaluable! I used ripped-up packaging for soil, to cover the coiled felt…… Continue reading Birthday Plant
Pinafores for Adventure
I’ve been making a lot of dresses lately; pants are just too hot for subtropical humidity, I find. This one is Rosery Apparel’s Daisy dress, sans sleeves. I like it as a pinafore with a bit more structure than some of my other pinafores. I, of course, put contrasting pockets in. This view of the…… Continue reading Pinafores for Adventure
Book Nook
The one thing that could enhance your average bookshelf (other than more books) is, in my opinion, a book nook. These are small boxes with little scenes inside that can be used as bookends or, in my case, to divide genres on my bookshelf. I made this between Christmas and New Year, but I’ve only…… Continue reading Book Nook
Camouflage
So, my goal with this latest dress is to blend into the shelves when browsing in a library. (It is also a wearable mockup of this pattern, but that’s an added bonus.) This pattern is the Cecily dress by Sewgirl patterns; it came with a sewing magazine I purchased a few years ago. The tie…… Continue reading Camouflage
Sarah’s Orrery
Happy New Year! I managed to finish up a few things in the last few days of last year, so I’ll be posting them this month while I continue in the background. First thing is that Sarah’s bedroom is done!* *for now. 🙂 As part of the ‘finishing’ touches, I made this little orrery for…… Continue reading Sarah’s Orrery
