the yellow rabbit: May 2010
http://theyellowrabbit.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 May 2010. Patchwork pillows and muffins, anything to avoid revision. For a few tips on simple patchwork go here. And I like this. Idea for making a patchwork stuffed animal. Then I was sure I'd be able to settle down and read a bit for my exam tomorrow. But Anna. Decided it was a day for cupcakes. Normally we'd make proper sickly ones and plaster them in buttercream but disaster struck as we realised we didn't have any icing sugar! The recipe will appear on anna's blog. Tuesday, 25 May 2010.

the yellow rabbit: Pretty Postcards
http://theyellowrabbit.blogspot.com/2009/07/pretty-postcards.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2009. I had some time to kill is Helston the other day (because a certain Flik. This one just makes me laugh! The picture is so posed and the little girl looks quite grumpy about the whole thing. It's actually a birthday postcard with a sickly sweet little poem in the bottom right corner. It was from the birthday girl's "hubby". I really love the little hat and dress and the way the umbrella and flowers are so neatly positioned. I think that'll do for a post. Once I got the scanner w...

the yellow rabbit: June 2010
http://theyellowrabbit.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 3 June 2010. Cupcakes minus Anna :(. I think I've got my cupcake recipe pretty much sorted after a few months of tweaking. It's all pretty easy to remember - I call it the 6,5,4,3,2 recipe. So here goes:. 6 oz self raising flour. 5 oz caster sugar. 4 oz butter or marg. or something butter-esk. 3 table spoons of cocoa mixed with boiling water to make a paste (this helps the flavour come out more apparently? I used the new cases from the magic sewing and baking shop in Fal and I think they look g...

the yellow rabbit: The checked pillowcase skirt
http://theyellowrabbit.blogspot.com/2010/05/checked-pillowcase-skirt.html
Tuesday, 25 May 2010. The checked pillowcase skirt. Top - H&M, handband - dorethy perkins, skirt - handmade, red band - devon county show. The pattern's pretty magic (even if I do say so myself) because it uses basically all the pillowcase. But this does mean you have to start by unpicking all. Click to see fullsize). Sew the two waist band pieces together at one side, using right sides together and all that. The skirt piece should be gathered to the same length. Tends to be good). Pick up a Pencil.

the yellow rabbit: Dresses dresses and more dresses (and two skirts...)
http://theyellowrabbit.blogspot.com/2009/08/dresses-dresses-and-more-dresses-and.html
Tuesday, 4 August 2009. Dresses dresses and more dresses (and two skirts.). Anyway, back to the skirt. Not sure if I should leave it as it is or possibly put in a slight bubble hem. It's a little so straight lined for me - makes my bum look big :P Let me know what you think. COMMMENTT. This is a little bubble dress that was a long time in coming. The idea came from this. This is by far my favourite dress. It's made from a navy primark t-shirt (cos I'm lazy and jersey is expensive) and a striped tesco...

the yellow rabbit: August 2009
http://theyellowrabbit.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 12 August 2009. Just finished making this afternoon tea top from the pattern from burdastyle. Anyone that's ever sewn with me knows I don't do patterns. It's was a battle but luckily it didn't come with lots of instructions and I just ignored the pattern pieces that I couldn't work out so it seems to come out ok. I even managed darts! I guess I could manage them if I was just a little more organised and methodical. Let me know what you think as usual with a comment below. Tuesday, 4 August 2009.
