First, I have a chest of drawers ready for putting miniature patterns into. It’ll sit flat on the third wall in Needle & Thread, but I didn’t know what colour to make it when I took the photo. Now I know I’ll make it dark brown, like a wooden antique, to make the store more…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Hazel’s Birthday Gift
Hazel’s birthday is tomorrow! She’s organised to meet with her friends and eat a lot of baked goods, which sounds like the ideal day, to me. As it is a weekday tomorrow, I’ve given Hazel her gift today – this pinafore dress. I tried out a new facing method on it with ribbon, which worked…… Continue reading Hazel’s Birthday Gift
Red & Navy Wool
Hazel has been wearing her wool skirt for almost the entirety of this winter, so I thought it was high time I made her another one. “It’s a nice pop of colour, especially when it’s a dull grey day, and I’m in my grey cardigan.” I agree, Hazel! Especially compared to your grey wool skirt.…… Continue reading Red & Navy Wool
Mini Patterns
One thing a store called Needle & Thread needs is sewing patterns. Considering I’ve made hundreds of books before, sewing patterns can’t be that difficult. These more colourful ones are replicas of ones I have that came with sewing magazines. These are the ones I made myself, with all the details on the back. There…… Continue reading Mini Patterns
Hazel’s New Scarf
A few weeks ago, Hazel found some pink vareigated yarn at Needle & Thread, and Tiffany offered to knit her a scarf from it. She finished putting the tassels on today, and she’s off to deliver it in person. T: “Hazel?” H: “Oh, hello Tiffany! It’s so good to see you!” “I finished your scarf,…… Continue reading Hazel’s New Scarf

First stop in this lovely warm bakery is the dining area, here. We do have cushions available if you find our chairs uncomfortable, and blankets if it’s really cold…… Continue reading Touring Fierro’s Bakery
Wall Décor
Whew, hanging all these canvases took longer than we thought! Each one was made with coloured paper glued around cardboard, then decorated with stickers that I had hanging around. (ha!) I think it looks much better than blank pink walls! (If you see duplicates, shhh.) I also made some for the walls by the counter,…… Continue reading Wall Décor
Tiffany’s Birthday
Today is Tiffany’s birthday! I gave her a stack of craft books and magazines. These are all books I really enjoyed or magazines I purchased over the last few months. I’ve been meaning to make Make It Simple (purple, top left) since I received it in real life, so I’m glad I got round to…… Continue reading Tiffany’s Birthday
Long-Sleeved Layers
Hazel’s new shirt is in its last fitting, having been completed yesterday. I’m quite happy with it – I did have some trouble with the sleeves, but nothing too hard to fix. It has a false button-up front, which I’m proud of – we’ll pretend this top has a little flap covering the buttons, which…… Continue reading Long-Sleeved Layers
Sarah’s Birthday
It’s Sarah’s birthday today, so as it is still raining outside, her friends have planned an indoor celebration. Petra went over early to set up a bit, and give gifts before the chaos comes. P: “So, this is from Tiffany, because she’s helping Hazel with the cake,” S: “Where did she get this? We haven’t…… Continue reading Sarah’s Birthday
