So, I finished my first wearable V&A shirt recently, and it might just be my favourite garment I’ve made! (Please forgive the photography; the sun was not co-operating during this photoshoot 😦 ) This is perhaps the best shot of the fabric – isn’t it stunning?! You can also see the centre front button placket…… Continue reading First (and Best?) V&A Shirt

Project Roundup
It feels like there’s loads happening behind the camera at the moment! Some of those things are gifts, so they need to stay secret, but in the meantime, I’ve been dyeing more socks for myself. These were completed last weekend, and I’m happy with the different colour combinations I did this time. The brown is…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Mint Choc Chip Mockup
I have mocked up a new pattern for a button-up shirt – it’s the V&A Customisable Shirt, and it is completely free! I’ve had this pattern on my to-make list for two years now, so this mockup is very exciting. The pattern has a plethora of options for customising the shirt (especially for a free…… Continue reading Mint Choc Chip Mockup
Project Roundup
I like to do any mending for summer clothes in winter, when I have a spare moment, so they are prepared for the next hot season. Thus, this leafy shirt I made at the start of this year has some little holes developing under the underarms. Can you see it? There is a patch on…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Last Minute Winter Warmers
I thought I should sneak these gloves into the posting schedule before winter (according to the calendar) ends! I made them over the course of the last few weeks because my hands get very cold in the mornings. The pattern came from Pip magazine, which is an Australian permaculture magazine. This is issue 32, and…… Continue reading Last Minute Winter Warmers

August already, huh? I’m running out of cold weather for all the winter projects I want to do! I’ve been doing quite a bit of knitting recently, making a bunch of these rectangles. All is planned to be revealed soon…. (but feel free to guess what they might be!) (Side note: I purchased these stitch…… Continue reading Project Roundup
The Long Way to Getting Framed
Remember this post, from almost two years ago? About the Hobbit door cross stitching I made as a Secret Santa gift? Specifically, I’ll point your attention to the comment I made at the end about stitching it again for myself at some point. Well, friends, I did, in fact, stitch it. A good few months…… Continue reading The Long Way to Getting Framed
Mending Holes with Moths
My handmade pants get a lot of wear, and this dark grey pair have been going strong for three years now. Last wash, however, I came across this little hole. It’s likely there because my phone sits in this pocket, and said phone has worn away at this spot repeatedly. This (I thought to myself)…… Continue reading Mending Holes with Moths
Project Roundup
Those Big Projects I’m working on are still works in progress, surprisingly! I’m as shocked and amazed as you are, honestly. Anyway, my second pair of patchwork pants are getting close to complete. All the pattern pieces are ready to go, I jut need a few days to sew them together. I am also replacing…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tea at Yaz’s Details Pt 1
With the completion of the lattices, Tea at Yaz’s is so close to being done (or at least, in a state where I’m happy). I’ve been assembling some more tea boxes, filling some gaps in the range and re-designing one of the teas. This coffee machine also needs a facelift – having seen life-sized coffee…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Details Pt 1
