Afternoon everyone! Things have been a bit quiet over here but I do have some news! We’re expecting a baby in March! So I decided to try my hand at making some things for the baby and my first attempt were a few bibs. I used Max and Meena’s Dribble Lips Bandana Bib. It comes with it two options for…
New Horizons Niagara Top and Dress
I had the pleasure to be a part of my first sewing testing group! This was for the New Horizons Designs’ Niagara Top and Dress. Please excuse the lockdown hair that has now been tamed. Here is the pattern description from New Horizon’s listing – Flowy and flattering are 2 things you’ll think wearing this! The Niagara Top & Dress…
Seamwork Christina (Bonus variation)
I bought some gorgeous 100% cotton woven fabric from Coalville Fabrics that is in the style of a comic book strip with “pop” words that you would see in superhero comics. I thought it would be nice as a skirt but don’t often wear prints so was cautious. I decided to do an Instagram poll and turning it into a…
Pineapple T-shirt
The Made for Mermaids Avery is one of those patterns that was bought without a specific project in mind…I mean aren’t most crafty purchases like that? This summery fabric is from BST fabrics (not listed on their website) – I found this beauty hiding among the stretch fabrics – you may remember it from my Teenie Beanie post. This version…
Crochet Vagina
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…
Cheeky Undies
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…
Unicorn Basket
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…
Giraffe – Simplicity 2613
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…
Beauty Pads
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…
Gustavo
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.
