The ‘something old’ is the coffee table, which has been repainted to a white top and pale blue base. The ‘something new’ is this trolley! It’s modelled after the Ikea one, and it will function as a drinks trolley. It’s on wheels, so it can be moved around as necessary. I plan to put an…… Continue reading Something Old, Something New

Meet Tiffany
The collection of pattern pieces in my last Project Roundup is fully assembled – meet Tiffany Faust! She loves needlecrafts, especially making clothes. She often makes her own clothes, because the regular avenues don’t have stuff she likes wearing. Her friends call her Tee, because she thinks her full name sounds “too old-fashioned”. She works…… Continue reading Meet Tiffany
