As Red, White and Royal Blue is one of my favourite books ever, of course I had to do something for this momentous occasion. This being the day that Alex Claremont-Diaz (in the book) made his speech and history remembered. I couldn’t decide between the plain black design and the Pride flag design, so I…… Continue reading History, Huh?

Stocked Shelves
After cutting out lots and lots of tiny balls of yarn…. And drawing in lots and lots of fat quarters…. Needle & Thread’s shelves are stocked! This took so much longer than I anticipated, so I’m very happy it’s done. Some of the yarn is still waiting for second shipments, so they can be a…… Continue reading Stocked Shelves
Zipped Up
I was finally able to sew the zip onto my embroidered pouch this week! I’m very proud of how neat it is, this is my first time sewing in a zip! I do still want to press it a little, just to neaten it up a bit, but I was too excited to wait! I…… Continue reading Zipped Up
Project Roundup
The cabinetry in Needle & Thread is done! This one on the right will be filled with fat quarters…. ….and this one will be filled with yarn. I have a plan for filling this with yarn, but I’m still working out how to do the fat quarters. I’ve also been crocheting a new amigurumi pattern,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Shop Fittings
Needle and Thread now has a counter, courtesy of the old bookshelf/mirror. It’s a little smaller than I imagined it would be, but it’ll still work. I kept some of the shelves in the back to store little things like the cash register. I love the magazine racks on the front; I can’t wait to…… Continue reading Shop Fittings
Needle & Thread Interior
All the interior walls and floors of Needle & Thread are done! Let’s have a look. The floor is wood parquet, and most walls are this pale grey…. ….apart from this blue feature wall behind where the counter will be! Tiffany really likes it. As far as old furniture goes, I could probably cut down…… Continue reading Needle & Thread Interior
Tiny Cap
I received this crochet kit for my birthday, and have only just got stuck into it. You can probably guess from this progress montage…. ….but the first character I made was Captain America! He’s very small; he’s about 9 cm (3.5 in) from head to toe. I love his little shield – there’s a little…… Continue reading Tiny Cap
Project Roundup
I love stocking up on yarn for a project, especially when it’s a project this colourful! This pile of rainbow yarn turned into these gloves for a family friend. I crocheted around the thumbhole to neaten the edge, and (hopefully!) to hold it together for longer. I’ve also started the front façade of the new…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Neon Pink Jersey
I mentioned in passing to Tiffany that I have an abundance of neon pink jersey, and she just pounced on it! Pieces cut out, side seams sewn by the end of the day…. The result of that whirlwind sewing session was this cardigan! There are large slits in the side seams so it’s easy to…… Continue reading Neon Pink Jersey
Second Side
I finally decided on a design for the other side of the zipper pouch! The main part of it is these moon phases. Next, I put a teacup in one corner…. ….and some plants in the other corner, to balance it. Then I thought the teacup needed a design because it was very plain, so…… Continue reading Second Side
