A few weeks ago, Hazel found some pink vareigated yarn at Needle & Thread, and Tiffany offered to knit her a scarf from it. She finished putting the tassels on today, and she’s off to deliver it in person. T: “Hazel?” H: “Oh, hello Tiffany! It’s so good to see you!” “I finished your scarf,…… Continue reading Hazel’s New Scarf

Tiffany’s Birthday
Today is Tiffany’s birthday! I gave her a stack of craft books and magazines. These are all books I really enjoyed or magazines I purchased over the last few months. I’ve been meaning to make Make It Simple (purple, top left) since I received it in real life, so I’m glad I got round to…… Continue reading Tiffany’s Birthday
Long-Sleeved Layers
Hazel’s new shirt is in its last fitting, having been completed yesterday. I’m quite happy with it – I did have some trouble with the sleeves, but nothing too hard to fix. It has a false button-up front, which I’m proud of – we’ll pretend this top has a little flap covering the buttons, which…… Continue reading Long-Sleeved Layers
Project Roundup
I’ve had these handkerchiefs for years and years, and they’ve ended up with brown spots on them, the sort that don’t come out in the wash. So, in an effort to upcycle them…. ….I’ve been embroidering leaves and bees over the brown spots. I tried to match the thread colour to that used in those…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Easter Biscuits
The girls decided this Easter to have a picnic on Sarah’s living room floor, complete with goodies from Fierro’s. S: “Do we each get a bag?” H: “Yes, there’s a bag for each of you!” Hazel made these Easter biscuits specially – the egg-shaped ones are plain shortbread, and the chick faces are dark chocolate.…… Continue reading Easter Biscuits
Project Roundup
Petra: “I’ve been clearing out some clothes I don’t really wear anymore, and I was wondering if this would fit you?” Tiffany: “Cool, yeah, I can try it on really quick!” T: “So, it’s a little large at the top.” P: “Oh stars, it is a bit, isn’t it!” T: “It’ll be easy to make…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Petra’s Birthday Dress
It was Petra’s birthday yesterday, so she went to Needle & Thread to pick up a special order. Tiffany had offered to make her a nice airy dress for the summer heat, and it’s finished! Thankfully, it fits! It’s a nice loose garment, so that isn’t particularly difficult. The length is good, and the pockets…… Continue reading Petra’s Birthday Dress
Christmas Cheer
The sun has finally emerged in Sarah’s corner of the world, and she and her friends spent the morning putting up Christmas decorations. P: Do you need help with yours? T: I already finished them! But thanks, P. (Let’s agree to ignore that the window display is still a winter one. I think that’s a…… Continue reading Christmas Cheer
Tiffany’s Birthday
Today is Tiffany’s birthday, and I was informed this time last week that she wanted to make a cape for the occasion. A few days of pattern-making, designing, and sewing later, and I came up with this: Isn’t it just the cutest? Though it is just plain navy on the front, the inside is lined…… Continue reading Tiffany’s Birthday
Quick Pants
Tiffany wanted a pair of winter pants that were ‘flowy’, unlike her orange pants and not elasticated at the ankle, so I found this fabric, and two days later: Tiffany likes her pants wide-legged, so that they are. They also have the usual pockets, and close with a flap in the back, which totally wasn’t…… Continue reading Quick Pants
