I don’t usually purchase fabric impulsively, but this shirt came about from impulsively purchased fabric. It was a remnant of cotton I came across late last year when fabric shopping and I just had to bring it home. I thought there would be enough to make one of my Eadaz shirts, and there was, just!…… Continue reading Summer Remnant Sewing

New Year, New Hook Roll
Contrary to what I said last post about mending things, the new year is a great time (for me, anyway) to make some new things, too. My old crochet hook roll is looking a little tired. I wanted something that my hooks would not fall out of, and something made of fabric. So, I found…… Continue reading New Year, New Hook Roll
New Year, New (Old) Clothes
First of all, Happy New Year! The week or so between Christmas and New Year is a great time to get some mending in, and I made some modifications to two items. Remember this skirt of Petra’s from 2021? When I made it, there were two problems: the waistband was too tight, and there was…… Continue reading New Year, New (Old) Clothes
Christmas Refresh
I’ve had these decorative presents for a while, but they are starting to get a bit faded with time and use. Fortunately, Needle and Thread have a few bolt-ends of Christmassy fabric to use up! Looking good! “Here, pass them to me Tiff, so you don’t have to bend down,” They look good! The folds…… Continue reading Christmas Refresh
Fresh Counter & Booths
In the background of all these yarncrafts and life-sized makes, Tea at Yaz’s has been slowly chugging along. I’ve given the counter a makeover to match the rest of the interiors! It’s got matching tiles (obviously), as well as a nice dark countertop, and a new frame around the window case. The booth table has…… Continue reading Fresh Counter & Booths
Project Roundup
My love for winter does not pass when the temperatures rise; in fact, I have already started preparing for next winter. This piece of crochet will (eventually) be my first crochet blanket! The pattern is the Irish Shores blanket by The Guy With The Hook, and I’m using a cotton yarn. This is the first…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Patchwork Stars
With December, comes the need to make some Christmassy stuff, even though it’s the first day of summer here. These little star decorations are what I’ve been working on recently, to get in the festive spirit. The pattern and tutorial for these little stars came from the MadeJustSew blog, and they’re called EPP Christmas Stars.…… Continue reading Patchwork Stars
Self-Drafted Singlet
I’ve been drafting my own patterns again! This time I’ve made a singlet top, ready for the summer heat. The instructions came from Sewing Love by Sanae Ishida, which I have mentioned on here before. I purchased this gorgeous fabric as a remnant at the craft store, and it’s incredibly lightweight. The instructions said to…… Continue reading Self-Drafted Singlet
Project Roundup
First project on the go is something new to me – a genuine, going-outside bag. It will be small and circular, and at the moment, it’s going well. (*touches wood*) I’ve also started Christmas sewing, very early! I saw these patchwork star decorations and wanted to try them out with leftover Christmas fabric scraps from…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tea at Yaz’s Updates
Tea at Yaz’s walls have been (mostly) re-painted! I do need to add things like windowframes around the window, and the new doorway behind Petra above. But the majority of the work is done. We’re both really happy with the tiles – they look fantastic! I designed them myself, based on the geometric way Islamic…… Continue reading Tea at Yaz’s Updates
