Embroidery – various
Still at the stage of buying designs… even though I spent a lot on PE Design 10. It is really complicated, and some of these designs are only a couple of dollars on-line and instantly downloadable. Although it is easy to lose a few hours scrolling through what is available!! I do like the free …

Scale Mail Gloves
I came across the idea for these while browsing pinterest! I had no need for scales for any steampunk project (because we were rarely attending any events!), but had the brainwave to make some for morris dancing. It can be pretty cold hanging around outside waiting to dance in winter, and I could make them …

Patchwork
I think the previous patchwork I had done was mainly made up of half square triangles (HST). These are magic!! Take 2 x 7″ squares and place them right sides together. Sew along the red lines, and then cut along the black lines, and you end up with 8 HSTs to put together in various …

Lymm Festival – Under the Sea 2018
I contributed some crocheted items to be put up around the village, and some embroidery for the under the sea picture. I bought the embroidery designs. The seahorse was a nightmare to stitch out. It is very thick in places and was either getting stuck, or ripping the soluble stabiliser. Cute though – yes?

Summer dresses 2018 – New Look 6206
I had found a lovely cheap fabric browsing in Abakhan (while daughter trampolining probably – or that’s my excuse), so had to find something to make with it!! I chose this New Look Project Runway pattern, with different variants. There are some fiddly bits to this one, particularly where the front bits meet. This was …

Cold shoulder tops 2017 & 18
I had bought this first fabric a while back with no idea what to make with it (for a change!), but wanted to make something I could wear all the time. I love the sewing machines on it etc. I found this pattern which I thought was simple and stylish! It is okay, but the …

Teacup dress 2018
I got this offcut of fabric in Abakhan. Not much of it 🙁 I love china and teacups and saucers, so this was perfect for me, but what could I make with such a small amount? The lady in the shop suggested an apron, but somehow I managed to get a dress out of it, …

Patchwork 2017
I always like a new challenge, and decided to have a look at doing some patchwork for some reason! Possibly because every fabric shop you go into has those adorable fat quarters of co-ordinating fabrics!! Never enough to make something I would normally make i.e. clothes, but irresistible fabrics!! I had probably bought some so …
