Sarah’s new bed is coming along nicely; the frame is complete, and I’ve made a mattress. It pretty much just needs bedding now, which I haven’t got around to stitching together yet. I’m thinking about a change from the stripes, maybe something starry? I’ve also been cutting out hexagons from fabrics in the fabric stash…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Innovations in Desk Chairs
Seating has been acquired! The lattice material came from a bouquet of flowers I was given a while ago, and I think it works well here. I would definitely use it again, perhaps for a window shutter or something similar. The test now, is it comfortable? Looks like it is! And I made sure it…… Continue reading Innovations in Desk Chairs
Furniture Construction Continues
Sarah’s had another piece of furniture made for her bedroom, a new desk. This one is a lot more compact than the one before (which had a glass top and bulky white cabinets). It’s got drawers as well, for hiding secrets. (Like that they don’t actually open, but shh. Secrets.) It’ll be a good little…… Continue reading Furniture Construction Continues
Bookshelf Revamp
Remember this old bookshelf that was in Sarah’s room? Also, remember how I said I wanted to renovate Sarah’s abode a few weeks ago? Well, that renovation process has begun, with this bookshelf! I used as many of the same pieces of cardboard as I could, while adding a little bit of decoration at the…… Continue reading Bookshelf Revamp
Blanket Revisited
Long-time readers may remember this blanket of Sarah’s: I love the colours, but not the construction methods for this one, so I thought this week I’d re-make it into something better. Like this! It’s longer than Sarah’s other miniature blanket, so perfect for covering the entire bed on cold nights. The colours are already suited…… Continue reading Blanket Revisited
Birthday Gifts
It was Sarah’s birthday on Monday! As a birthday gift, I decided to make her some new pants, because it’s been a while since she’s had new clothes. They’re plain navy, with in-seam pockets and a waistband. She wanted something plain for winter that wasn’t as formal as her black ones are. The classic Velcro…… Continue reading Birthday Gifts
Fancy Seating
Finally, they are complete! I want to dramatically collapse onto that couch right now, hoo boy. The instructions came from a MyFroggyStuff video, and it came with a few new techniques. All the purple bits are flat sponges wrapped in fabric, which work well for slim seat cushions. I wouldn’t have used the sponges on…… Continue reading Fancy Seating
How To Build a Storefront (Part 2)
Welcome back to building a storefront with me! (This feels like it should be the introduction of a YouTube video…) Once the signage goes up… …and the windows go in… …the door can be made and glued on. Then it’s just finishing touches, like glass, window and door frames, and a doorknob, and it’s complete!…… Continue reading How To Build a Storefront (Part 2)
Freshly Decked Halls
Guess what? I finally made new Christmas decorations for the street! And I figured out how to hang wreaths from the shop doors. I poke a little hole just above the door (or doorframe) and stick one end of the hook into the hole, so the wire is sitting just under the outer layer of…… Continue reading Freshly Decked Halls
Project Roundup
I’ve started the slow process of making the furniture in Needle & Thread darker, to match the chest of drawers for the sewing patterns. These will be shelves, to go on the wall near the counter. I plan to have this fancy design painted onto the sides, so it looks nice and leafy and whimsical.…… Continue reading Project Roundup
