Tractor shirts 2019
Doesn’t everyone buy fabric on holiday? We had got the bus from Looe to Polperro this time (we normally go the other way), and were walking back along the coast path. I hadn’t expected a fabric shop in Polperro!!! But obviously had to go in. Hubby saw some tractor fabric he liked, so 4m were …

More Shirts 2019
I saw this raven / skull fabric near Halloween time (again in Abakhan – it sounds like I live there, but I just nip in occasionally while my daughter is trampolining!), and knew it was perfect for my son. Although it took me quite a long time to get round to making it up! I …

Christmas 2018
We were going away for Christmas for the first time ever. I wasn’t certain about this! But I did want something nice to wear while being waited on!! I found this sparkly fabric in Abakhan in Altrincham, but there wasn’t very much of it. This was really easy to make, mainly on the overlocker, as …

Pocket watch fabric
This project has been ongoing from sometime in 2017 and I think was only finally finished in 2019 with the trim and buttons, and still hasn’t been worn 🙁 It is a combination of these three Truly Victorian patterns: I saw the lovely pocket watch fabric in Abakhan, and must have bought quite a lot …

Carousel blanket
Started mid November, finished end of Jan 2019. My husband picked this one, out of a selection of blanket patterns I liked. He liked the vibrant colours. I liked the look of this, but it wasn’t the most fun to do, as it was a bit TOO repetitive. However, it looked great when finished. First …

Cosmic blanket
With Demelza finished on 28th July 2018, this was me on the 29th!!! This one is also Stylecraft DK, some standard, and some batik elements (which cost a little bit more per ball, but still great value). I had come across the Cosmic blanket on one of the Facebook crochet groups I follow, and I …

Demelza blanket
After finishing the Ross blanket at the end of April, it didn’t take me long to get onto the next one – the Demelza in June 2018. Again, this used colours I just wouldn’t pick myself, but I thought looked great. It isn’t so much learning new stitches, but the way they are put together. …

Embroidery – first attempts to design – including Manchester Bee
Having spent the money on the embroidery design software, PE Design 10, I thought I should try and use it. However, it is just as hard as I expected it to be, probably harder. I watched some tutorial videos on YouTube by OleensEmbroidery. These were helpful, but I wasn’t patient enough, so I dived in …

Ross blanket
I came across this while looking for something for my mother in law for Christmas. She had just made a blanket from a kit and had expressed an interest in another, so I had picked one for her which was more straight forward rows back and forth. But I had fallen for this one! It …

In The Hoop (ITH) Embroidery – Bunting
When I first got the embroidery machine I obviously joined a Facebook group to see what people do on their machines. I kept seeing reference to ITH without having a clue what it meant! I eventually found out! People make all sorts of things ‘ITH’, but I found some bunting designs that I liked. These …
