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! …

Camo jacket

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 …

Jeans & Cords

How have I nearly forgotten about the pair of jeans I made? And even the cords before that for Milly. This pattern was picked because Milly likes ‘Mom jeans’. Although what the shops sell as mom jeans are not what I would wear! I find the shape most unflattering!! These weren’t quite right either – …

Spirit of the orchid wrap

Design by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk @ LillaBjornCrochet.com I had seen these kits at Black Sheep Wools previously, and even when in the sale hadn’t bought it, thinking “I’m not really a wrap type person”. However my addiction to crochet beat that.. I can’t remember why I was at Black Sheep AGAIN (I probably had an idea …

Another dragonfly shirt

Dragonfly top with peplum
