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

Spring/Summer Dungarees
It’s been a while since I made some miniature clothes, but Tiffany wanted something new for the change in season. I’ve wanted to make her something similar for a while, so it was good timing! I loosely based it off the Safiya dungarees by Tilly & the Buttons (my version is here). I thought contrasting…… Continue reading Spring/Summer Dungarees
Patchwork Chaos
Because it is still hot and humid where I live, I thought I’d make Tiffany something patchworked after many a hot afternoon spent watching Carly B on Youtube. She works quite a lot with patchwork using really colourful fabrics, so I raided my stash. These fabrics come from magazine freebies and offcuts from an old…… Continue reading Patchwork Chaos
Flower Festival Photos (part 2)
Batch two of the holiday photos incoming! (There were a lot of good ones!) These little yellow flowers are called Billy buttons, which I reckon is a fantastic name. I have been busy with both staying cool and new projects, which will be forthcoming. I’ve been trying some new things for Sarah’s bedroom and I’m…… Continue reading Flower Festival Photos (part 2)
Flower Festival Photos
Recently, the girls and I went on a holiday to a nearby city that does a flower festival in the springtime. Naturally, I took loads of photos, and I want to show you some of the best ones. (We also visited a Japanese garden while there, which has fewer flowers but lots of beautiful views.)…… Continue reading Flower Festival Photos
Birthday Leggings
Tiffany’s birthday is tomorrow, so I thought I’d give her her gift today. I made her these leggings; I wanted to upcycle the original pair of leggings I made in this fabric, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. All the hemming is zig-zagged for stretch, and these will look good under many different skirts…. (I…… Continue reading Birthday Leggings
Trees in Bloom
I thought it would be appropriate to finish this for this weekend, because it was Earth Day yesterday. It’s a small tree! Maybe it’s a very large bonsai rose bush or something. I found the pattern in an issue of Simply Crochet magazine, and modified it a bit to suit my purposes. Lemons would have…… Continue reading Trees in Bloom
Project Roundup: Two Sleeves and a Plant
First off, I’ve started a new life-sized dress on my treadle machine. The bodice is complete, and the collar is attached: I’m hoping to get the sleeves hemmed and attached before the end of the weekend. Okay, the second sleeves are much smaller. Afte I made Tiffany that short-sleeved patchwork shirt, I wanted to put…… Continue reading Project Roundup: Two Sleeves and a Plant
Patchwork Shirt
Tiffany’s been playing around with the offcut bin at Needle & Thread, and assembled this patchwork shirt recently. There are four or five different fabrics in this shirt, including the two back pieces. She attached one sleeve flat and set in the other sleeve as an experiment, and we both agree that the set-in sleeve…… Continue reading Patchwork Shirt
Banner Time
Another step has been taken towards Needle & Thread’s Sit and Stitch Corner being completed! We’re so close now! Tiffany meant to have this banner ready for the grand opening, but as I’m sure you all have experienced, life got in the way. Here it is at last! The letters are felt, and the middle…… Continue reading Banner Time
