I've been in the process of making the TARDIS console, and it's finally begun to look like a console, instead of a fancy post. Before and after sticking the flower petals panels down. Sarah for scale below! It's quite tall, I was hoping to store it in the TARDIS exterior, but that's not going to… Continue reading TARDIS Updates
Marvel-ous
So, I saw Captain Marvel yesterday, and loved it, so I had to make something. Sarah's very excited, as you can see. (I tried to replicate Captain Marvel's glowing energy hands in my image editor with, ah, interesting results?) The ribbon is glued on, which makes the front of the shirt quite stiff. I would like… Continue reading Marvel-ous
Finally Finished
Since this first picture of my crocheted scarf, it's come a long way. I've spent what felt like months (and was more realistically a few weeks) crocheting the big blue section until finally... ...I could crochet that sweet, sweet pink row... ...and call this scarf done!! Though hanging here it looks quite long, I think… Continue reading Finally Finished
Sonic Downsized
Sarah's 13th Doctor cosplay is finally complete, with the completion of this teeny tiny sonic screwdriver! Sarah's very excited, and has been re-creating the promo pics in her mirror for a while now. Here it is compared to my official one, you can see the size difference! My little one is just under 3cm long… Continue reading Sonic Downsized
Apron Making
All week, Sarah and I have been cutting out pattern pieces... ...checking pockets are aligned... ...sewing seams galore... ...to make an apron! With a very handy pocket at the front, for random spoons or timers or a phone for reference pictures. (Sarah's very proud of the pocket.) This will become very useful, as the last… Continue reading Apron Making
Finished TARDIS Exterior
Yay! The handles and keyhole are grey paperboard, and though the black sign door does have hinges, it doesn't open. The light on top is smaller than I'd like, but it's fine for now. I think I'd make it from rolled paper next time, because beads are a little too small. The biggest change since… Continue reading Finished TARDIS Exterior
Othala Badge
I made another badge recently, featuring the othala rune from Ship of the Dead, the final Magnus Chase book. This means I've finally completed a full set of book badges, hooray! Don't they look great all together? I chose the yellow background for the colour of the boat Magnus and his friends use in the… Continue reading Othala Badge
Old & New
I made new black dress pants for Sarah because I didn't like the way the old pair was made, especially now I have a new pattern for making pants. The new ones have better pockets, which are lined with floral fabric as an experiment to make the pants easier to sew. There's also a better… Continue reading Old & New
Doctor Who Updates
My crocheted Thirteenth Doctor scarf is coming along, and I love seeing all the bright colours coming off my hook. The far right is where I'm at currently, I'm only a few stripes away from the big blue section now. The TARDIS has also been painted and had a few little details added to the… Continue reading Doctor Who Updates
Try New Things
Sarah's been sewing away this week, making her first piece of clothing. The legs are perhaps a little tight, but they're still wearable. It doesn't have pockets or a waistband, but I reckon it still looks amazing for her first try. They'd look right at home on the beach, wouldn't they? Whatever next? A shirt,… Continue reading Try New Things
