bubala: May 2015

http://bubalablog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 1, 2015. Me Made May pledge and another zippy top. Hi, long time no see :-(. I really do enjoy maintaining my blog - now if only I could get all of those blog posts that I compose in my head out and into this format without any further effort that would be great! I'd be almost a daily blogger, ha ha! Anyway. I have been looking forward to Me Made May this year, and thinking that I could probably. Do a full me-made pledge, that is all me-made except for underwear and shoes,. Are you doing MMM?

bubala: November 2014

http://bubalablog.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 7, 2014. I had one of those rare reactions to seeing a new pattern recently: I wanted to buy and make it immediately! Tessuti's new Alice Top and dress pattern. I made a shameless copycat version, though my fabric is just a plain old cotton (from a thrifted doona/duvet cover) rather than the fine linen of the sample. The drape is not quite as nice but it's the same thin blue and white stripe and I love it :-). But now I really need to get onto sewing some trousers, as I'm sadly lacking!

bubala: Tween sewing

http://bubalablog.blogspot.com/2014/12/tween-sewing.html

Monday, December 8, 2014. Several years ago I made my eldest girl a Sophie Tunic from Sisboom. As a sun/beach cover-up. She's loved it and worn it to death but for a while now it's been way too small and she's been asking for an update. So when we were in a fabric store together recently I asked her to pick out a new fabric. She chose this lovely Cloud 9 printed cotton (proud mother moment ;-). The only change I made was to add sleeve tabs. The tab pattern is from my Make it Perfect Shearwater Kaftan.

bubala: Modified Zippy Top

http://bubalablog.blogspot.com/2014/12/modified-zippy-top.html

Saturday, December 27, 2014. Hello and happy holidays! I hope you're enjoying the festive season and getting in some sewing/crafting time ;-). I seem to have a pattern crush on the See Kate Sew Zippy Top. At the moment, I've made 3 for myself and 2 for the recent school fete, with plans afoot for 2 more! What I love about it is the simple shape, lovely neckline and sleeves and the scope for adaptation. Do you have a pattern crush at the moment? Labels: sewing for me. December 28, 2014 at 8:54 PM.

Frog Land: Spring Strata Cowl

http://landoffrogs.blogspot.com/p/spring-strata-cowl.html

This simple feather and fan lace cowl is the perfect pattern to display one skein of Noro Taiyo sock. You can use whatever yarn you like, of course, but I would recommend the Taiyo – it is a great weight for early spring, and the colour palettes are inspired! There are two sizes, depending on what needle size you use. The small fits snuggly inside the collar of a gilet, while the medium is slightly looser. S: 19cm wide, 52cm (diameter). M: 22cm wide, 59cm (diameter). S: 61g / 258m. M: 94g / 397m.

LA BIBI: febbraio 2015

http://gabrielariva.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Come farsi del male, la Trilogia di Ken Follett. Eccoci qua, con il solito vizio di voler portare a termine una lettura, costi quel che costi, giusto per la curiosità di sapere come andranno a finire le vite dei personaggi. E così ci si imbarca in un'avventura sulla carta stimolante, nella realtà faticosa e pesante. Sicuramente è un bel ripasso della Storia dell'ultimo secolo, magari non troppo obbiettiva, ma mamma mia che povertà di linguaggio, che poca profondità nel delineare i personaggi, che fatica!

LA BIBI: FANTOOSH! by Kate Davies

http://gabrielariva.blogspot.com/2015/05/fantoosh-by-kate-davies.html

Ecco, a volte capita che esce un nuovo pattern e per qualche strano motivo, te ne innamori subito e capisci che sarà il tuo prossimo Cast On visto che tanto hai già persino il filato che era lì, da tempo, proprio ad aspettare questo:. Della grandissima Kate, un faro per me, un grandissimo esempio e sicuramente non solo per la sua grande competenza nel lavoro a maglia, ma soprattutto per il suo coraggio e la sua fermezza, per l'entusiasmo e la gioia di vivere che quotidianamente l'accompagnano.

Thursday, April 23, 2015. Getting closer. sampling is on the way. I have go stuff a monkey. Friday, April 17, 2015. New lists, the fabric gig and how she stopped her head exploding. Make a cuppa and come back, I'll wait for you. I thought it might be time for a catch-up. How am I? Two elephants, three kinder girls and some chubby birds stand between me and the end of that list. Doable! This is the Ella Blue basics range). What is more I have asked for sewing help? So, I just wanted you to know that it is...
