Bucket Hat
I stumbled across this bucket hat suggestion online. My version deliberately has rough seams on the outside, and so not strictly reversible as doesn’t sit well the other way, due to the visible seams on the denim. I think some of this inspiration probably came from Raph’s denim dress in the GBSB. I can’t find …

Robin’s Denim Jacket
July 2021 Inspired by Damien’s jacket in the Great British Sewing Bee. If I am honest this wasn’t my favourite jacket from that round of GBSB. However, my son really liked it, and was actually very enthusiastic for me to make it for him. He even offered to come fabric shopping with me. I think …

Nan’s 100th
You can’t see on this picture but I bought some nice fabric with owls on for part of the bunting. It took quite a long time to do each letter, so I didn’t get round to doing ‘birthday’!! The balloons were a bit easier! I cheated a little and used a very similar pattern for …

Rainbow knitted top
May-July 2021 I think I bought this King Cole Shine early on in first lockdown. I bought the pattern at the same time, it just took me a while to get round to making this one. Given how large the previous King Cole Shine knitted up, I did this in a smaller size. I thought …

Mosaic Blanket
16/03/21-05/05/21 This is a pattern I purchased from Ravelry, called Autumn Harvest: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/autumn-harvest-8 I specifically wanted to make a blanket for my Dad that was less flowery than all the others I have made. I picked lots of shades of blue, his favourite colour, with cream for the contrast. This was specifically to keep him …

Chilli Blouse
April 2021 I happened to be in Abakhan again (I know how does that happen?)… and found some more of the chilli fabric that I had made shirts for Paul and Robin out of. I had a silly thought to make matching ones for myself and Milly!! Milly was having nothing to do with us …

Makka Pakka
I am really not sure how this came about. A silly conversation about what I may have done / made if I had crocheted when the kids were little perhaps? Anyway, however we came about to be talking about In The Night Garden, when my 15 year old son said he would like a Makka …

Queen Bee Dress
A quick version of New Look 6435 again, same as the Robin dress done at Christmas, but this time I remembered to add pockets!! Cut out Thursday night, and sewn in about 4 hours on Friday – and ready to wear 🙂

ZigZag Patchwork
I started planning this when I had finished my previous patchwork quilt. I have bought the jelly roll at the same time, and love the colours, but wasn’t sure the best way to use them. I googled jelly roll quilts and came across a zig zag patchwork image that I found quite striking, and decided …

Crochet dress part 2
Following on from the first post about this dress: https://kariscraft.space/index.php/2021/02/24/crochet-dress/ I didn’t take many more progress pictures. I kept trying the dress on to increase to the right size and length having measured how much the last few rows of the colourwork would be. I distinctly remembered thinking that my stitch count needed to be …
