All week, Sarah and I have been cutting out pattern pieces... ...checking pockets are aligned... ...sewing seams galore... ...to make an apron! With a very handy pocket at the front, for random spoons or timers or a phone for reference pictures. (Sarah's very proud of the pocket.) This will become very useful, as the last… Continue reading Apron Making

Finished TARDIS Exterior
Yay! The handles and keyhole are grey paperboard, and though the black sign door does have hinges, it doesn't open. The light on top is smaller than I'd like, but it's fine for now. I think I'd make it from rolled paper next time, because beads are a little too small. The biggest change since… Continue reading Finished TARDIS Exterior
Othala Badge
I made another badge recently, featuring the othala rune from Ship of the Dead, the final Magnus Chase book. This means I've finally completed a full set of book badges, hooray! Don't they look great all together? I chose the yellow background for the colour of the boat Magnus and his friends use in the… Continue reading Othala Badge
Old & New
I made new black dress pants for Sarah because I didn't like the way the old pair was made, especially now I have a new pattern for making pants. The new ones have better pockets, which are lined with floral fabric as an experiment to make the pants easier to sew. There's also a better… Continue reading Old & New
Doctor Who Updates
My crocheted Thirteenth Doctor scarf is coming along, and I love seeing all the bright colours coming off my hook. The far right is where I'm at currently, I'm only a few stripes away from the big blue section now. The TARDIS has also been painted and had a few little details added to the… Continue reading Doctor Who Updates
Try New Things
Sarah's been sewing away this week, making her first piece of clothing. The legs are perhaps a little tight, but they're still wearable. It doesn't have pockets or a waistband, but I reckon it still looks amazing for her first try. They'd look right at home on the beach, wouldn't they? Whatever next? A shirt,… Continue reading Try New Things
Building Time Machines
It's what I like to do for fun on my weekends. The TARDIS exterior is slowly coming together, as the corners become nice and neat... ...and the board for the 'POLICE BOX' sign goes on. (BB-8's very curious as to what's going on, and whether he can eat or snuggle anything, bless!) I finished the… Continue reading Building Time Machines
The Library Expands
*dundunnn* The real drama is finding space on my shelves for these books, which I bought with some Christmas vouchers (thank you!). I just finished reading all of these Doctor Who books, and I definitely enjoyed them all! I plan on starting Crimes of Grindelwald next, then I'll re-read Leah on the Offbeat. Anyways, see… Continue reading The Library Expands
Project Roundup
This is pretty much the Doctor Who edition of Project Roundup, as both of the things I'm working on at the moment are Doctor Who related! First, I decided to crochet the scarf the Doctor wears in the New Years special, so I went out and colour-matched as best as I could... ...and I'm now nearly… Continue reading Project Roundup
Innovative Sleeves
Underneath her coat, the 13th Doctor wears a short-sleeved stripy shirt over a long-sleeved white shirt. I had many ideas for how to make the white sleeves attach to the shirts themselves, none of which worked when put into practice. As a result, the white sleeves are not attached, they can be removed so the… Continue reading Innovative Sleeves
