Sew Freaking What: An idea - Part 2

http://sewfreakingwhat.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-idea-part-2.html

Monday, July 13, 2015. An idea - Part 2. In "Craft for the Soul" Pip Lincoln suggests trying new projects as a challenge, in a format. For example 7 or 52 or 365 projects, so one every day for a week, or one a week or something. Every day. Now, while I have the obsessive personality that makes me want to drop everything and make stuff 24/7 I have a life. To run. I need to plan my ideas accordingly. I want clothes, but I can't make a new skirt every day for 7 days, let alone 365 days of clothes! View my c...

Sew Freaking What: May 2010

http://sewfreakingwhat.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 1, 2010. I love making shirts. They fit together as easily as a jigsaw puzzle and you can't stop working on them until they're entirely done. The pattern is Kwik Sew 3730, which I also used to make Marcus' flannelette jumpsuit that I keep dressing him in. I'm making another one up soon, but I wanted to make this little shirt first. Fabric is from Spotlight, bought on an expedition with my mum, niece and nephew (and baby Marcus of course! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Sew Freaking What: October 2010

http://sewfreakingwhat.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 29, 2010. My darling Divine J borrowed my overlocker last week as her baby had an accident involving a pin tucked into a fold - eeeek! As she was making 100 doll school uniforms for an order I handed my MyLock over instantly. It arrived back yesterday with Judith's love (and 8 balls of Morris and Sons Paddington yarn! And now I'm off again. Monday, October 25, 2010. Brilliant idea or massive disaster? Now, I know I have enough fabric to get me through this, and I need a lot of clothes for...

Sew Freaking What: Metas, abducens

http://sewfreakingwhat.blogspot.com/2015/07/metas-abducens.html

Tuesday, July 7, 2015. I'll come back to my grand plan next post. For now, I need to make 5 sets of pajama bottoms for tomorrow morning, as we're starting Dot's toilet training. I figured it will be easier to swap these out than tracksuit pants. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wending my way through life and writing about knitting. And running The Finishing Touch.

Sew Freaking What: Long long LONG weekend

http://sewfreakingwhat.blogspot.com/2015/06/long-long-long-weekend.html

Monday, June 15, 2015. Long long LONG weekend. It sounds great, doesn't it? Extending the Queen's Birthday weekend for an extra 24 hours? Yes, until you realise that the previous 72 hours contained three sick people. As the sole healthy person, my life sucks. Next up: Sassy Librarian Blouse in seersucker.

Sew Freaking What: July 2015

http://sewfreakingwhat.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. 2 - Midi Pleated Skirt. My second piece for my 26 pieces project is another pleated skirt, but I swear. It's not a cop out. You see, my (great) Auntie Peg died and for my nan's funeral I made an entire dress, so I thought Nan's sister deserved a new skirt at least. Odd logic, but comforting to me. I had a plan for this skirt - no winging it this time. I wanted to copy this skirt. I told you: I like oomph. Friday, July 17, 2015. 1 - Koi Skirt. I'm not against minis for women over 40...

Let Me Knit!: Pretty playthings

http://letmeknit.blogspot.com/2015/07/pretty-playthings.html

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. I sew up other people's knitting, and sometimes it's a grind. Sew up shoulders, pick up and knit a neckline, set in sleeves, get halfway and swear, re-set sleeves, sew up, steam, etc etc. I still love the end result, but it's not all that exciting. Look at this shawl. Look at it. I told my customer that she wasn't allowed to use the phrase "I'm just a knitter" anymore. If you can create something like this, you're an artist.

Let Me Knit!: Finished Objects 2009

http://letmeknit.blogspot.com/2010/01/finished-objects-2009.html

Friday, January 01, 2010. Well, the post is a day late but humidity plays nasty tricks on the mind (only 68% today). We had a very non-eventful NYE here: watched "The Glenn Miller Story" with my in-laws and Felix while we waited to see if Marcus would wake up in time for us to see the local fireworks at 10:00pm; he slept until 10:30pm and grizzled so much that our midnight saw Felix, Marcus and I all lying down trying to go to sleep. Happy New Year all. Aqua Grey Seamless Booties. View my complete profile.

Let Me Knit!: August 2015

http://letmeknit.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 26, 2015. I've been motoring along with my edging on the baby shawl. I had 35 repeats to do by Friday, so I divided it into 7/10/9/9 and today I was starting on my first lot of 9 when I paused to look at the sewing up instructions and that's. When it caught my eye. Work as for First Border from * to * "? Yes I did that, not a problem. Row 60, however. This is how you work Row 60 in the first edging you do. So I did that. For the Second Border as well.
