Officially started in December 2021, but not done much yet!! This was a spontaneous buy when I had to go to Black Sheep Wools for more yarn for the Labyrinth blanket! I also bought some more King Cole Shine in Quicksilver when I was there as well as this King Cole Glitz in Jet. I …

You may have seen the evening dresses I have made for the RAFAC dining-in evenings. Well the staff at some of these wear co-ordinated bow ties to match their squadron colours. I thought how hard can this be…. and borrowed one from our OC that he wears to another squadron’s dinners. We decided on colours …

Is there anything better, as a sewer (now, as I type that, I see why people call themselves sewists), than being told by your granddaughter when you arrive, that there is a fabric shop in town and she wants a new dress?? Here she is with her Auntie (who isn’t quite as keen on me …

I based this pattern on the men’s shirts I have made. I wanted to add a large pleat in the back to add volume (similar to a purchased blouse I have), and longer at the back than the front, and with pockets! The chilli shirt I made for Robin fitted me, so I started from …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 🙂

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 …
