Oil and Thread: An apron with a gathered ruffle
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/11/an-apron-with-gathered-ruffle.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Sunday, 30 November 2014. An apron with a gathered ruffle. Dear readers and follows I am sorry not to have written sooner. I really don't know where the time has gone. More responsibility at work plus regular weekend working, a new home with, for the first time, a garden? Big changes seem to have left little time for blogging and. The one other thing I would have done differently in hind sight was to make sure I...

Oil and Thread: A onesie for The Much Belovéd: Kwik Sew K3713
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-onesie-for-much-beloved-kwik-sew-k3713.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Monday, 20 January 2014. A onesie for The Much Belovéd: Kwik Sew K3713. I thought this pattern might appeal to The Much Belov éd. He seemed genuinely pleased when he first saw it and quite excited when I finally got down to work on it. He tends to run around barefoot quite a. Bit so we agreed on version B the footless sleep suit. Red rag to a bull? The pattern really isn't complicated and the instructions are fi...

Oil and Thread: Welsh quilt inspired sampler
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2015/02/welsh-quilt-inspired-sampler.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Tuesday, 10 February 2015. Welsh quilt inspired sampler. I've hung this little oddity, from one corner, on a nail that was in the wall of the sewing room. I don't think anyone really knows what to make of it but yellow and white always makes me think of fried egg and somehow my interest in and appetite for Welsh and Durham whole cloth quilts has been whetted. 12 February 2015 at 15:29.

That man Quilts?: July 2014
http://quiltfool.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A blog to talk about quilting and raising a daughter, which I do in equal measure. I'll also talk a little about gardening, a little about cooking, and share a few pleasant memories. Hope you enjoy it. The July Civil War Block. On Sunday, Barbara Brackman released the next Civil War block. Here they are, all together. Needs more blue. The next block will be either blue or pink to balance out some of the green and brown. The Little Engine That Could. 160; Rain at the end of July. Free Water! Not sure y...

Oil and Thread: It's curtains… for the sewing room
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/04/its-curtains-for-sewing-room.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Sunday, 6 April 2014. It's curtains… for the sewing room. I moved house twice in 2013. I have been lucky in that both of the dwellings allow for a designated sewing room. Some of you will remember the first one from the blog entry last Summer. The room has enough floorspace for the Singer 201K in its cabinet. 8230; which contains instructions on how to make sheer curtains…. I laid a curtain out on the floor whic...

Oil and Thread: Three little Dicky birds
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2015/02/three-little-dicky-birds.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Monday, 9 February 2015. Three little Dicky birds. I can't claim this as my own. It's a vintage item that The Much Belov éd's mother sent from the US. I think it is such fun I wanted to share it with you all. I think it is the cutest tea towel I have ever seen and in some ways it's too good to use. I guess this dates from. The late 1950s or early 60s. 10 February 2015 at 21:01. 11 February 2015 at 02:39. It seem...

Oil and Thread: Another apron with a gathered ruffle
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/11/another-apron-with-gathered-ruffle.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Sunday, 30 November 2014. Another apron with a gathered ruffle. This ruffled apron is separated from the first by about eighteen months of time. The first was such a hit with the ladies of the family that a second was needed to prevent a charge of favouritism on my part. I was able to take more detailed pictures of the second apron before I gave it away to my Mam. And one last close up of the hemmed edge of the ...

Oil and Thread: Meet the Singer 201K
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2013/03/meet-singer-201k.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Tuesday, 5 March 2013. Meet the Singer 201K. This cabinet is beautifully finished and, when closed, presents no suggestion of a sewing machine.". Nestling tantalisingly in the cabinet is the 201K. The top of the cabinet folds out to form a work surface which rests on the left hand cabinet door. This picture shows some of the battle scars the the cabinet has collected over the years very well. I include this pict...
