Sew much to make, sew little time. Sew much to make, sew little time. April 2, 2015. April 2, 2015. Next to be completed needs to be the last of my 2. I am planning to shadow stitch around the cross quilt (not sure what colour thread yet) and to try my hand at free motion quilting for the other top, doing a stippling design. I have recently purchased the correct foot for my machine to do some FMQ, but I have not had the guts to try it yet. What is on your to-make list? PJ monster eater →. A Dress A Day.

Articles posted by kdaltrey. My first Wiksten Tova. April 10, 2015. April 10, 2015. So I have finally got some photos of my first Wiksten Tova and I am excited to share them with you. First I feel I should explain that I hate photos of myself and generally avoid them at all costs but for the sake of my blogging I posed for these today at a lovely National Trust place and let my husband take photos. I used my walking foot for most of it and just took my time. The placket on the front doesn’t qui...You may...

Quilt for nephew #1 | Little England Originals
https://littleenglandoriginals.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/quilt-for-nephew-1
Quilt for nephew #1. Quilt for nephew #1. March 21, 2015. When designing the quilts for my nieces I had no problems picking fabrics and designing them. My aim was for something feminine but not childish so they might use them for years to come (I envisage them taking their quilts to uni with them but I think I am ahead of myself as they are only 2). Picking fabric with the same thoughts in mind for little boys is so much harder. So I purchased a Moda layer cake ‘Mixed Bag’ in brushed cotton&#...You are c...

PJ monster eater | Little England Originals
https://littleenglandoriginals.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/pj-monster-eater
April 4, 2015. I spent today making my niece Isla’s 5th birthday present. I present to you a cuddly PJ monster eater. I purchased the basic pattern from sew fearless.com and then made my own version based on a picture I found on the internet. Sewing this fur material really put my machine to the test. I used my walking foot for all of it but on some parts I was sewing through 4 layers of fur and two layers of cotton lining. Sew much to make, sew little time. By Hand London printed patterns →.

PJ shorts | Little England Originals
https://littleenglandoriginals.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/pj-shorts
March 21, 2015. After my success with the skirt I was keen to try more dressmaking. I found a free pattern online for shorts which I decided would make nice PJ shorts. I have a bag of old shirts that my Grandpa recently gave me that I thought would upcycle nicely as my shorts material. I unpicked the back panel off too coordinating shirts and worked out I could get one front and one back shorts piece from each. I found some complimentary binding at a local haberdashery and set to work. A Dress A Day.

Kindle holder | Little England Originals
https://littleenglandoriginals.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/kindle-holder
March 31, 2015. March 31, 2015. I made a holder for my Kindle (the old fashioned kind that is just for reading books) so it would be cushioned when in my handbag. I used some of my favourite stash fabrics to make it bright and cheerful. Some fussy cutting was done to get the flowers right and I did pink zigzagging over the joins. It is lined with light blue fleece, which was part of a 3 blanket I picked up in Ikea. Quilt for nephew #1. Sew much to make, sew little time →. March 31, 2015 at 2:07 pm. Exper...

An adventure into dressmaking. March 20, 2015. March 21, 2015. For a while I have been thinking about learning dressmaking but everything about patterns scared me. What did all the markings mean? How do I know what types of fabric to use and where do I buy them? How do I measure myself correctly? I decided 2015 was going to be my year to learn and conquer. So I signed up for an introduction to sewing class, a weekend, two 7 hour days learning the basics and making an a line skirt. March 20, 2015. The kit...
