Pattern Tracing

Because I like starting new projects, while I still have some (like my suit) on the go. But I really need new trousers, all my brown pairs are starting to wear thin/fall apart. So I’m braving the slightly incomprehensible instructions in the Burda Style magazines and all the time it takes to trace out...

I’ve been working on this pair of baby overalls for a while. And now I’ve finally handed them over to the new mum and dad, I’m posting some better pics of them. When my oldest friend (I’ve known her nearly 25 years now) announced she was pregnant last year, I knew I wanted to...

Secret Project Again

Is actually pretty much done and I’m really proud of them. I’m holding back on posting pics as they’re a gift for a friend and I kind of what to wait until I hand them over. I had a lot of fun with the poppers though. It took a while to track them down,...

Secret Project

The suit is still on hold, but in the meantime I’m working on a project using stretchy rib knit. It’s the first time I’ve used it and it’s pretty fun to work with. It’s nearly a month since I moved, and my craft supplies are still in chaos, but I’m hoping to start getting...

Suit…Now with Lining

I said the suit was sort of hold, but I did manage to finish cutting out the lining and the foam for the shoulder pads, so I think I now have all the pieces, but I might put off until I’ve moved house as I have already postponed it a lot think it’s going to...
