The next piece of life-size clothing I made was these dungarees! They came from the same book as the pants from earlier this year, and the pockets are the same colour as the outer. They’re made of linen, so I feel super fancy in them! They’re super comfy (much like the pants were), and they’re…… Continue reading Life-size Dungarees

Anything that details the creative process of a project or skill.
Project Roundup
The Quest to Unpack All the Boxes remains a slow one, about matching the rate at which the bookshelves get built. “Oooh, there are some good ones in this box!” “When I next get a moment, we should totally put genre labels on the shelves somewhere.” I also have a few life-size sewing projects that…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Upstairs Furnishings
There are a lot of bookshelves in The Palace Library that need assembling, so as a result, the armchair has been moved to one of the upstairs rooms for now. You can see one of the other rooms across the banisters: that room has a lot of boxes that will fill the shelves downstairs. However,…… Continue reading Upstairs Furnishings
Artistic Liberties
Tiffany’s new dress is strongly based on one I own, though there were a few artistic liberties. I was also trying out a more fitted bodice, and a circular skirt. The neckline has a facing, which I do like. It doesn’t have pockets (I know!), but that’s because this fabric is very hard to work…… Continue reading Artistic Liberties
Petra’s Birthday Explorations
Petra’s birthday was on Monday, and she requested a trip to the local park for a wander, which of course, I documented. We saw a few cockatoos grazing across this little stream, which had a lovely reflection of the sky. Then we followed this forested path down to the boardwalk along the river. Then we…… Continue reading Petra’s Birthday Explorations
Gathered Shirt
Hmmm, I think this shirt needs something more…. That’s better! For my first time sewing gathers, I think it looks pretty good! It’s something a bit different, anyways, and it would definitely hide any messy waistbands! And then we found these flowers! I think they look very rainforest-y, and of course, Petra loves them. As…… Continue reading Gathered Shirt
Bookstore Beginnings
Sarah’s local bookstore is coming along really well in its renovations! This is the finished storefront: There’s a little palace/castle in the sign, which I think is really cute. The window frame is also raised, so the display is still changeable. Maybe I should do this for all the shops…. Let’s see how it’s going…… Continue reading Bookstore Beginnings
Project Roundup
Sarah’s local bookstore is getting a renovation, so I’ve been doing a lot of planning for that at the moment. Below is where I’m at right now; I need more paper for the door, and there’s stuff I still need to decide on for the window and sign. But I do love the window in…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Orange Stripes
I first saw Tiffany’s new pants in an op shop, and I instantly knew that she’d love them. They had a tied or elasticated waist, which I’ve replicated as best as I can in miniature. The original had the stripes printed onto the fabric, which I recreated with pieces of ribbon sewn onto the fabric…… Continue reading Orange Stripes
