I bought some of this lovely wool while taking my mother-in-law to the wool shop. They only had 2 balls, but I got it anyway, no idea what to make with it! When I was there again I bought another ball, thinking I would need at least 3 for a garment! When I eventually found …

I saw the instructions for this in Black Sheep Wools, before they got rid of their fabric section. It is nice and big for plenty of wool!! And rather effective in how it is made. I used strips of fabric from various different projects. Full width of the fabric where possible, 8 x 3″ strips. …

I bought this fabric to go with the Spirit of Life crochet wrap, but in the end I thought this was a bit too bright, and probably distracted from the wrap itself. I fancied frills, so a fair bit of ruffling, but I just simply overlocked the edges. Obviously it has POCKETS!!! The top was …

My husband had really liked this blanket, in fact he had chosen it as the next one to do, and then I gave it away, so I had to make another. I have gone more random with the colours this time (from part three), and not followed the order in the pattern, although I have …

I wanted some cropped trousers and couldn’t find any I liked in the shops. To be honest, I didn’t really look – I would much rather make my own!! I found some more camo fabric in Abakhan, and got this pattern to match. In hindsight I questioned my pattern choice – as the jeans pattern …

I knew about the Air Cadets annual Dining In when I had my ‘fabric day’ back in May. I didn’t find a suitable silk on my travels, which is what I really want. But I found this fabric that I liked the design on that I thought could be suitable. It was only £3.95 a …

The need for this came about because of the Air Cadets Annual Dining In. Some fabric to make an evening dress was on my shopping list when I had my ‘fabric day’! I had found a pattern, but didn’t quite find the perfect fabric, although I found some that I could try it out with! …

This fabric was another find on my ‘fabric day’ I had had back in May. With my son having started in air cadets recently, these patterns were jumping out at me a bit more. I am not sure what they would call this pattern. They refer to ‘MTP’, which stands for Multi-Terrain Pattern. I had …

I have made a couple of things from this pattern booklet before and never noticed the weird sizing. I made a cardigan that I have made previously in a smaller size, this time in 2-3 years. But it came out tiny! I also made a jumper size 12-18 months which came out bigger than the …

I stumbled across this pattern somehow and thought it would look good in a rainbow! I actually used the Sheepjes wool for this. I did the pattern for a 3 year old. It came out really quite big, but that’s not a bad thing. After this one I made another cardigan for my granddaughter, and …
