I’m not one for long paragraphs of self-reflection at the end of the year – I prefer to let the photos do the talking. So, let’s get to it! January: February: March: April: May: June: July: August: September: October: November: December Last year, I said I wanted to make some more life-sized things, continue exploring…… Continue reading 2021: Year in Review
Happy Christmas!
I hope you have a wonderful day, whether you celebrate or not. See ya! FillieFanatic
Multipurpose Aprons
Inevitably, with baking (and running a business), messes happen. Fierro’s got some aprons today, so Hazel’s clothes won’t be permanently stained by anything. I spent ages trying to work out how to get the gathering attached to the top half, and this solution doesn’t look too bad once it’s on. There are no pockets, but…… Continue reading Multipurpose Aprons
Six Years
Every year the number on this post gets bigger, isn’t that weird? I must once again thank everyone who has stopped by to read this blog, whether you decided to stick around or not. It’s mostly become a place for me to document what I’ve made, but I am very glad if you found something…… Continue reading Six Years
Festive Attire
In keeping with the tradition of everyone having a Christmassy shirt, I whipped up a quick top for Hazel for the season. It’s made from some scraps from my linen pants, with the embroidered felt circle appliqued on top. I really like the little gold hanging loop at the top. I should also seal the…… Continue reading Festive Attire
Layering
Layering pieces in a wardrobe can be very handy to have, regardless of the size of the person or the wardrobe. Or the season! Which is why I wanted to make Hazel this skirt – she can wear it under a longer skirt in winter for warmth, or over a dress in summer, or with…… Continue reading Layering
Christmas Earrings
Because I really enjoyed putting together my spring earring collection, I decided to do a small collection of Christmassy designs. These little trees were definitely the most complicated ones to make! I had to make the cone shape with the beads on the inside, then turn it inside out to get this effect. I did…… Continue reading Christmas Earrings
Christmas Cheer
The sun has finally emerged in Sarah’s corner of the world, and she and her friends spent the morning putting up Christmas decorations. P: Do you need help with yours? T: I already finished them! But thanks, P. (Let’s agree to ignore that the window display is still a winter one. I think that’s a…… Continue reading Christmas Cheer
Project Roundup
Petra’s Christmassy shirt got some longer sleeves this morning: And I’m in the process of figuring out how I want these aprons for Fierro’s to come together: I also want to make Hazel a Christmassy shirt or dress, and Sarah and her friends want to decorate the stores for the season. However, it’s been raining…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Neutral Pants
I finished another pair of pants for my life-sized wardrobe today – these grey linen ones! I used the Simplicity 8457 pattern again, and I am really happy with them – they look so neat and professional, and the invisible zip is mostly invisible! The pockets are also sitting flatter than my first pair, which…… Continue reading Neutral Pants
