The Rose Cottage Studio. Some HNC work photos. I know people are interested in the techniques we are learning are on the HND course. One of the modules last year was Introduction to Surface Decoration and Textile Techniques and this year we are doing the Advanced level. I realised I haven't posted any photos so before I finish advanced level here is some of last years work:. By far the most popular thing I've ever made is the large wallhanging. Who also produced great quality fine art giclee prints for m...

The Rose Cottage Studio. Millinery The Completed Hat. And so finally the hat is finished! I bought all my materials from the wonderful Edinburgh Fabrics. They have such a huge selection it's really difficult to choose. Initially I was very keen to use turquoise or peacock blue but I found some black and silver lace that was just asking to come home with me and be part of this hat! In her hat band instead of carrying a handbag. In her hat band are cigarettes which I made from silk; a matchbook made from c...

The story sew far. Thursday, 30 October 2014. For me, essential kit in our flat is a cosy fleece to lounge about in. This really isn't a hugely interesting garment (or post! But it is one of those essential makes that are sooooo practical and essential. Yes I made another fleece but this one is navy. The other one I made was black. And it's been washed and worn so many times already that I had to tackle another one. There you go, though, I'm probably destined never to become a professional fleece-maker!

The story sew far. Monday, 8 December 2014. After the long-running saga of the wool trousers, I fairly sped through my latest sew- a satin top. I used Burda 7079. And made view A. Well, I decided I. Wanted more of a plain top, without the notched neckline.so apart from that, I made the pattern more of less as it is. Well, except I decided not to use facings and made some bias binding using the fabric, and finished the neck and sleeve edges with it. Speaking of which, here's the fabric-. The only down sid...

petit main sauvage: September 2014

September 29, 2014. This is actually something I worked on before I went on holiday: the second installment of my Vintage Pattern Pledge, a 1930's dress from an unprinted pattern. I already blogged about it here. When I was just getting started. In that post, I already mentioned the absence of grain markings and the tricky tucks which form the shoulder yoke. Of course, the dress is still unhemmed, the sleeves would need pleating in at the bottom and the neckline still has to be finished. Belting it sort ...

Heathery Makes: Summer Skirt
http://heatherymakes.blogspot.com/2015/06/summer-skirt.html
Saturday, 27 June 2015. I have visions of swishing about in linen, being at one with the seasons but it never quite works on me. Until now. I found this delicious olive green linen in Edinburgh Fabrics. The colour is undoubtedly closest to the photos from Cyprus), but didn't quite know what I would do with it, until I found Simplicity 2258. In the sale box in the shop! I did check the finished measurements for ease, and seeing that there was a lot. I did find that the split, due to my lengthening the ski...
