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
Needle & Thread Updates
Some small things have changed in Needle & Thread recently. Namely, it now has a back room, and a doorway to access it! It would be great if the curtain was the complete width of the doorway, but I do like the tiny peek you get into the back room through the gaps. There’s a…… Continue reading Needle & Thread Updates
New Shelves
The ‘whimsification’ of Needle & Thread continues, because I finished the new shelves! I did not end up painting the design on the sides, because you wouldn’t have seen it anyway, but I do like the swoopy endpiece detail. These baskets were made for the shelves, too. They’re made from some old prop ‘moving boxes’…… Continue reading New Shelves
Mending in Miniature
This week was spent mending some dolls’ clothes, to try and keep the mending pile on the small side. The patients were these two pieces: Petra’s brown pants were too tight at the waist, so you couldn’t velcro them closed. I added a placket in the same fabric, and moved the velcro onto said placket,…… Continue reading Mending in Miniature
Chest of Drawers
Remember these cardboard rectangles from last post? They’ve been transformed into a chest of drawers! I made the drawers flat instead of 3D, because this wall has other walls that close onto it for storage. Tiffany’s ready to stock it with patterns – they’ve been stacked on the cutting table since they arrived. Something I…… Continue reading Chest of Drawers
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
