Nikki's Stitches: October 2014
http://nikkisstitches.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 October 2014. Crazy Cat meets acid! I blame this all on Mel. Saw the post on Miss Crayola Creepy. S blog and convinced us (the WSBN) that it would be a great thing to do in a group. Was that going to stop me? So to cut a long story short, the Crazy Acid Cat skirt was born! I bought this fabric from MrsC's shop Made Marion. It's a kind of fine cotton twill, so quite stiff, but presses like a dream. I knew straight away after seeing the fabric how to make it up. There was actually not that muc...

The right side of 40: April 2010
http://therightsideoforty.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The other little project from the weekend. Some of you may be horrified that I pulled this poor dress apart and re-cut it, but honestly, it was in a sorry state when I picked up from The Costume Cave. About 4 years ago when they had a massive sale of their collection. The lining and some sort of over skirt had been hacked off (bits of it remained), it had been dyed black (originally lemony yellow, judging by the stitching) and frankly, it was shapeless and ugly. Doesn’t it look so much happier? The wonde...

Here it is. Imitation bone buttons from Wellington Sewing Services. In Kilbirnie. In my opinion they have the best range of haberdashery in Wellington, and the ladies are lovely and helpful. Now all I need is for it to rain. Apart from the odd minute of drizzle here and there, it hasn’t rained in Wellington for more than 3 months. My yard is straw-coloured, with patches of bare earth, but I've had a bumper crop of tomatoes! Posted by juxtapose nz. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Biography of my skin.

I've called mine 'The Kiwi Collection'. Five are by New Zealanders with the sixth by Betty Busby. Betty's 'Takahe' is a great representation of one of NZ's native birds.

My Inner Thread: Sampling
http://myinnerthread.blogspot.com/2015/07/sampling.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. I've been practicing my freemotion quilting. Previously when I've created practice/sample pieces they tended to be on scrappy fabric/batting or larger pieces. I've been looking for an efficient way to have a quick reference to refer to when deciding what designs to use on a quilt. Often I find that I've used a quilting design then forgotten about it or can't quite remember what it looked like or how I did it. Here is my bundle so far . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
