Christmas T-Shirt
Petra’s getting in the Christmas spirit with this simple wreath t-shirt. It’s made up of two branches intertwined in a circle, with little gold knots in amongst them. I’m really happy with how detailed the foliage is! She helped Sarah and I decorate the Christmas tree this year, because it’s useful to have a tall…… Continue reading Christmas T-Shirt
Five Years
Hey, have you seen this? Today’s my five-year blogiversary! Clearly, a small party is in order. To celebrate, I’ve compiled links to my five favourite crafts/posts over the last five years! They are, in no particular order: 1: The TARDIS set ~ This is definitely one of the biggest things I’ve made! Not to mention…… Continue reading Five Years
Decorating In and Out
In-between decorating her apartment…. ….Sarah’s helping Tiffany and Petra decorate the stores for the holidays. Most of their time is spent being silly with the decorations, though. “What do you think Petra?” “Uhm….” “Hey Tiff, can I borrow extra hooks for my wreath and these lights?” “Sure I’ll just– Sarah’s got biscuits!” “Do you want…… Continue reading Decorating In and Out
Summer Sewing
“Hey Petra! I got this pink corduroy in the mail for the shop, and I thought it would look great as a pair of shorts for you. What do you think?” Petra said yes, and a week later, we have our result! Because the corduroy’s a bit thick, Tiff used a pink floral cotton in…… Continue reading Summer Sewing
Solid Grounding
As the solid foundation my dolls stand on, their shoes are pretty important. Tiffany and Petra had been using some of Sarah’s shoes, but she wanted them back for summer. So! Now Tiff and Petra have their own shoes. Tiffany’s are as close to a pair of runners as I could get, with the lower…… Continue reading Solid Grounding
Summer Pinafore
Petra requested a denim pinafore for summer, which was the perfect opportunity to continue practicing skirt-making. I tried something different with the back because of fabric constraints, which I think looks quite good. The front panel is perhaps a little bit wide, but I don’t think it’s too big of a deal. I enjoy taking…… Continue reading Summer Pinafore
Spring Jumper
I know I said summer clothes and all, but the urge to try a crochet jumper before the season passed was too strong! I’m not thrilled with the shoulders, but I do like the lower neckline. I also love the texture in the moss stitch and rib stitch. And Petra loves the colour! Would I…… Continue reading Spring Jumper
Happy Plants
One of the most important things you need to have a happy garden is water. How do you deliver that to pot plants? A watering can! I really like these silver ones, and I think they match the aesthetic of Petra’s world well. At first, I thought it might be a little small, but that…… Continue reading Happy Plants
Purple Couch
To furnish the sit-and-stitch corner of Needle & Thread, I made a small couch from this really nice batik fabric I had. There is, of course, storage underneath the seat: I did intend for it to be a two-seater couch, but it’s a bit of a tight fit! Tiffany’s now thinking of what cushions to…… Continue reading Purple Couch
