Hazel has now got two dresses in her wardrobe! This one is very similar to the first one in terms of the bodice and skirt, fastening at the back with Velcro and a snap. It’s got very puffy sleeves and two darts at the chest. Either way, I think it will look great under aprons…… Continue reading Hazel’s New Dress

Project Roundup
I finally had the motivation to make a summer garland this week, after many years of having it sitting on the To-Make List. Below are the crocheted elements I’ve made so far – I need two more duplicates, and then they all need to be strung together. Sun, shell, and sunflower designs by Steffi Glaves…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Iced Vovos
Hazel has perfected the recipe for some new biscuits to go in Fierro’s display case… …and they’re a bit of a regional specialty. Iced Vovos! They are a commercial biscuit in Australia, and they have a plain base with a stripe of jam down the middle and pink icing on the sides. All that icing…… Continue reading Iced Vovos
Project Roundup
Well, necessity has dictated that I make myself some more masks. It was loads of fun digging through my scraps to find some interesting prints – and a good opportunity to use up some smaller scraps of larger projects. I’ve also been making some more biscuits for the bakery…. ….and Hazel’s been wearing the same…… Continue reading Project Roundup
New Year’s Baking Supplies
First of all, Happy New Year! Some additions have been made to Fierro’s over the new year, mainly in the form of useful things like these gold plates, for serving diners. H: “The bigger two will be for sharing platters with lots of different sweets, and the smaller ones are for single biscuits, or cake…… Continue reading New Year’s Baking Supplies
Multipurpose Aprons
Inevitably, with baking (and running a business), messes happen. Fierro’s got some aprons today, so Hazel’s clothes won’t be permanently stained by anything. I spent ages trying to work out how to get the gathering attached to the top half, and this solution doesn’t look too bad once it’s on. There are no pockets, but…… Continue reading Multipurpose Aprons
Festive Attire
In keeping with the tradition of everyone having a Christmassy shirt, I whipped up a quick top for Hazel for the season. It’s made from some scraps from my linen pants, with the embroidered felt circle appliqued on top. I really like the little gold hanging loop at the top. I should also seal the…… Continue reading Festive Attire
Layering
Layering pieces in a wardrobe can be very handy to have, regardless of the size of the person or the wardrobe. Or the season! Which is why I wanted to make Hazel this skirt – she can wear it under a longer skirt in winter for warmth, or over a dress in summer, or with…… Continue reading Layering
Project Roundup
Petra’s Christmassy shirt got some longer sleeves this morning: And I’m in the process of figuring out how I want these aprons for Fierro’s to come together: I also want to make Hazel a Christmassy shirt or dress, and Sarah and her friends want to decorate the stores for the season. However, it’s been raining…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Summer Skirt
Summer has decided to arrive in my area, and as such, summery clothes are required! Petra’s style has changed a little since last summer in favour of long skirts like this one. I’ve been going back and forth about whether the volume is something I want to keep, but at the moment the hypothetical pendulum…… Continue reading Summer Skirt
