Hopefully you’ve read the above warning! I was talking with a friend who is a midwife about how upset people get over body parts such as breasts (there was an upsurge in angry Facebook posts a while back). Naturally, we decided it would be funny to crochet a mini vagina that could possibly be used as a keyring. I didn’t…
I’ve seen some gorgeous underwear being made in sewing groups that I decided to try and make my own. When Made for Mermaids released their Victoria pattern, I bought it straight away. I got the galloon lace from eBay – I can’t find a link to the exact lace I used but the link will take you to the eBay…
Remember that project I took apart in this post? I used the leftovers and a tiny bit more to make this cutie. The pattern is free! Yarn is Drops Paris (100% cotton, Aran weight) with the recommended hooks for the pattern. The flowers were harder to do than I thought they would be, I must admit! Think I’m going to…
Morning everyone! I’m slowly getting photos sorted of the items I have made since we’re finally getting some good light with the sunshine. I made this for my friend and her new bundle of joy back in December. It’s the giraffe from Simplicity 2613. I used a yellow dot minky that I’ve had in my stash for years, blue safety…
I’ve been sorting through my WIPs, I definitely need to tackle that pile this year. I came across a WIP that I started with a specific intention but it’s no longer useful so pulled it apart to repurpose. The yarn is drops paris which is 100% cotton, Aran weight. It started life like the striped object you see in the…
My first cross stitch finish of the year was a model stitch for Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks called Gustavo. DMC threads were used (1 over 1), not sure on what the exact fabric was but definitely aida.
Merry Christmas to all of those who celebrate it and I hope the coming New Year brings you good health and happiness! Here’s a little stitch from a magazine! I am running out of storage for my crafting. I am adding too much stash and not spending much (if any) time using it. I have counted at least 15 started…
I have had two Christmas stocking panels sitting in my stash for a good few years now. I had always put off making them as I had mistakenly thought quilting would be involved and it was not long after I had made a few quilted duffel bags. I was quilted out. It was so long ago, I can’t even find…
I am in the process of making myself a summery top made with the pineapple fabric that you saw in a previous post. I sent a progress photo to a friend asking her opinion on how I should finish the top as it has a couple of options. She was telling me how much she loved the fabric so I…
Happy Halloween to all those that celebrate it! I decided very last minute I wanted to put some decorations up. I know, I know. I picked up these little kids crafty kits from Lidl (UK). I just wanted to put it above the door so cut the string in half and only used one of each decoration. It was only…
