Sewing, knitting and life. About me – ClaireEmily. August 2, 2016. Knitting all the things. First up, here is a lovely big triangular scarf/shawl. This yarn was a gift from my lovely friend Kate who dyed the yarn herself! I love the subtle color gradations that she achieved. The yarn is 100% Australian merino in a 8ply/dk weight. The pattern is Herald. It makes a very snuggly, large scarf and I just love it. The pattern is a free one, Flame Chevron Scarf. I feel that is hat is a bit of a statement. A...

Sewing, knitting and life. About me – ClaireEmily. July 9, 2015. So it seems I have a new passion – English Paper Piecing – which is hand sewn patch work, a very old and traditional quilting method. I took a two evening class at Stitches Seattle. The hexagons on their own looked like this. The basic method (or at least what I’m doing) is this:. 2) Pin the paper shape to the fabric and baste it on on the reverse side. You end up with a stack of fabric covered shapes like these. My favorite thing about EPP...

Sewing, knitting and life. About me – ClaireEmily. July 18, 2015. Here’s my first quilted project! It’s a small pouch made with my 1″ english paper pieced hexagons. The pattern is from Quilting on the Go by Jessica Alexandrakis. I spray basted the hexie top to the low loft polyester batting and backing fabric. I then quilted using a straight line pattern using my walking foot on my machine. Once the hexies were done putting the pouch together did not take very long. I’m pretty happy with it!

Rayon floral dress and simple skirts – accidentlykellystreet

Sewing, knitting and life. About me – ClaireEmily. August 5, 2015. Rayon floral dress and simple skirts. I’m not loving sewing clothes for myself right now, but as this blog is my creative journal I’m going to put this out there. Here’s McCalls 6073. I don’t like it very much. The thin knit is a bit of a PITA to get a nice finish on, to be frank. I actually shortened this dress to knee length and then reused the fabric to make a simple no-pattern pull on skirt.
