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
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
Stitch the Walls
Needle & Thread has some new artworks up on the walls! These four little cross-stitchings were lifted from some old pattern books. They are mounted with white felt sewn onto the back and a small cord sewn onto that in a loop. I pushed hooks into the walls to hang them. Looking at them now,…… Continue reading Stitch the Walls
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
Yarnwall (and the Front Counter)
It’s a gloomy day in this miniature world, very atmospheric for taking photos of the newly-rebuilt cabinetry in Needle & Thread. I put drawers on the front of the counter, which presumably hold measuring tapes and record books and suchlike. I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but I have loved sneaking in…… Continue reading Yarnwall (and the Front Counter)
Needle & Thread Darkens
There’s been a few updates in Needle & Thread. First off, I sanded back the big table to the dark wood underneath and sealed it, so now it matches all the new cabinetry. So much nicer! Second, the fabric shelves that used to be fat quarters came down (RIP)… …and the new dark wood ones…… Continue reading Needle & Thread Darkens
