Tricky Seams: Crafting for the creatively inept!: My excuse for not blogging.... Meet Derek!
http://trickyseams.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-excuse-for-not-blogging-meet-derek.html
Tuesday, 20 December 2011. My excuse for not blogging. Meet Derek! Derek is a Dr Who Dalek, just in case you don't recognise it, and he's been my most challenging knitting project to date! I didn't think I'd be able to do it because it involved a lot of techniques I've never done before such as I-cord and making bobbles but I managed it and he doesn't look too shabby! I knew it would be perfect! When I'm suitably recovered I might knit myself my own one, maybe a special pink dalek! Follow me by email.

Colette beignet skirt →. August 31, 2011 · 1:49 pm. V and A Horrockses Fabric. Did anyone else see the guardian’s article on Horrockses. It reminded me that I’ve been planning on buying some of the V& A’s reproduction horrockses fabric. For quite some time now. I’m a little bit in love with them:. I particularly like the blue striped daisy fabric – might have to be a sewing project for next spring. I’m thinking it might be cute made up in a dress like this one Gertie made a while back. Ss range has reign...

Sweat Shop pop up at Selfridges | modestcorner
https://modestcorner.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/sweat-shop-pop-up-at-selfridges
My first vintage pattern. September 15, 2011 · 3:53 pm. Sweat Shop pop up at Selfridges. I’m really excited to hear that Paris’s Sweat Shop has a pop up at Selfridges. For London Fashion Week. For those of you who haven’t heard of it, it’s a sewing cafe in Paris that works like an internet cafe i.e. you rent the machines by the hour. They also have classes and workshops. I’ve been wanting to go every since I read about it and now it has come to London, albeit briefly. Or been to the pop-up yet? Hi, I...

V and A Horrockses Fabric. My first vintage pattern →. September 15, 2011 · 3:13 pm. Here’s my poppy red Colette beignet skirt. I made this a couple of months ago. At first I was really happy with it, but having worn it to work one day I realised why the instructions suggest a heavy weight fabric – the fabric I used crumpled the minute I sat on it. There’s a reason using the wrong fabric is number 2 on Colette’s ten ways to ruin your sewing. What I like about it:. The fit – I made a size smaller th...

I’m still around! On: April 6, 2011. I have been so flat out the last few weeks that I’ve barely had a chance to blog let alone read my favourite ones.😦 I just wanted to post quickly to let you all know that I’m still here, just very busy. I survived the craft fair! It was great fun and I learnt a lot and met some lovely people. I have loads of pics that I’ll upload this weekend with a proper blog post on it. I hope everyone is keeping busy too and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. On: March 9, 2011.

Archive for October 2010. On: October 19, 2010. So here are the fruits of my work. Some time this week, these bad boys (or girls! Will be going up on Etsy for sale. I had Weng take some fancy pants photos for me and I am glad I did. Boy, he’s good! He got me to set up a proper background and it makes such a difference. The colours above are the only ones I have at the moment. I’m limited by my ribbon selection. I have many different shades of felt but need to order more shades of ribbon. A Girly Tea Cosy.

Archive for July 2010. My (tidy) sewing room! On: July 5, 2010. This bookshelf holds (most! Of my fabric. I have a tiny bit still stashed in the green suitcase under the window but shh, don’t tell Weng! Now that I finally tidied up my sewing room, I thought it a good time to ask Weng to take a few photos of it for me. It doesn’t stay in this state for very long, especially when I’m cutting out stuff! My padded out Dolly. One day soon I hope to be able to remove most of her padding. This lovely lady is Do...

Too much excitement maybe? Bag 20 done – 19 more to go, gulp! Stylist Event – Craft Your Own Business. On: February 25, 2011. When I saw this event. I know how busy these Stylist events get. I’ve heard tickets sell out in just hours! It was definitely worth my 40 plus booking fee. And there was champagne! To someone who doesn’t get out often, a night of talking craft, drinking champagne and meeting lovely ladies sounded awesome! The ladies on the panel were:. Previously Chrissie was a graphic designer wh...
