A red top for the new year | Disparate Disciplines

https://disparatedisciplines.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/a-red-top-for-the-new-year

Dedicated to creative pursuits. A red top for the new year. February 8, 2013. My first project of 2013 was conceived, cut and sewn all on New Year's Day. The pattern is McCall's 6288. I made it up once last year. When I spent hours tweaking the fit to be smooth over my swayback. Did you see the buttons? Was inspired by Cation Designs' raglan T.

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics: April 2013

http://ofdroppedstitches.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Saturday, 13 April 2013. That's All She Wrote . For now, anyway. Tomorrow we leave for Belfast to get hitched good and proper. After seemingly endless trips to the mechanic, and quite a bit of money paid out, our car is up and running, which is a relief. Today will be spent packing her, which, for some reason, is the bit I love. It's like tetris with suitcases. I couldn't help it! See you all then!

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Sunday, 23 June 2013. In Which I Shamelessly Plug My New Blog. It's been pretty hectic round these parts recently! I haven't done much clothes sewing, because I've been working like a mad thing on items for my Etsy store. I also moved the store blog over from Wordpress (which I could never get to grips with) to the lovely Blogger, and already I'm enjoying it tons more! Which will end tonight. From Sense...

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics: In Which I Obey The Spirit If Not The Letter

http://ofdroppedstitches.blogspot.com/2013/10/in-which-i-obey-spirit-if-not-letter.html

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Tuesday, 15 October 2013. In Which I Obey The Spirit If Not The Letter. I'm not usually one for adjusting patterns too dramatically. I trust completely in the designer, have no faith in my own judgement, and always do what the pattern tells me to. So, a few months back I bought the Gathered Sundress. Muslin in my trusty polka dot cotton, and hated it! And gathered cotton at the tummy? This dress is a pa...

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics: August 2013

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Friday, 9 August 2013. In Which I Put Three Year Old Fabric To Good Use At Last. Once upon a time, I received a shiny new sewing machine for Christmas. Being so green, I decided to buy some cheap fabric to practice on, and so snapped up a 7 metre remnant of surprisingly good quality polka dot cotton for £7.00. Three years later*, and I have used this cotton for everything. I didn't go for any particular...

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Friday, 12 July 2013. The Wedding Dress Question. Specifically, what to do with my wedding dress now? My first thought was to have it dyed so I could wear it again. It is knee length after all. But where am I realistically going to wear a satin dress, of any colour? If anyone out there has been married, what did you do with your dress? Anyone have any super creative ideas? So all ideas are welcome!

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics: March 2013

http://ofdroppedstitches.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Saturday, 30 March 2013. Thanks to my very generous mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, I got some vouchers to spend at Minerva Crafts for my recent birthday. So of course I blew it all on fabric (and a few buttons.). First, I got some excellent quality wine coloured corduroy, to turn into the Kelly skirt. It looks more red in this photo, but it is definitely wine.). With the yoke with cut outs in turquoi...

http://ofdroppedstitches.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Wednesday, 27 February 2013. While casually surfing eBay for fabrics last night, I stumbled upon a seller called Minerva Crafts. Some simple Googling later turned up their official website, and all I can say is, why have I never heard of this company before! I'm sure some of you out there in blogland have shopped with them before, and they'll need no introduction, but for me, it was a pleasant surprise.

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics: In Which I Am More Proud Of The Inside

http://ofdroppedstitches.blogspot.com/2013/09/in-which-i-am-more-proud-of-inside.html

Of Dropped Stitches and Super Heroics. The life and loves of a geek girl: comics, crafts and costumes. Thursday, 26 September 2013. In Which I Am More Proud Of The Inside. Also, In Which I Go Shopping For A Bin And Leave With Fabric. So there I was, casually strolling around Dunelm Mill, looking to get a new bin for our kitchen, when I suddenly found myself in their haberdashery - how'd that happen! And it's only natural that I picked up a pack of buttons to go with it. I never did get that bin though.
