If you knit are you doomed… – teal and wolf
https://tealandwolf.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/if-you-knit-are-you-doomed-to
Appreciation rather than perfection. If you knit are you doomed…. September 17, 2015. September 17, 2015. In the 70s my granny taught me to knit. It was a sporadic hobby – dropped and picked up briefly when mohair batwings and slubby cotton singlets were fashionable. Funky jumpers were knitted in 1988 for my toddler daughter. Then in 2003 I bought a ball of wool in a charity shop, thinking it would relieve the boredom of six weeks confinement after an operation. Two years after Ebay man’s departure...

The tale of two bags – from Flower Power to Biba | the takahe bites
https://thetakahebites.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/the-tale-of-two-bags-from-flower-power-to-biba
Fabric hoarding, sewing, and bird watching kiwi style. The tale of two bags – from Flower Power to Biba. July 15, 2013. Apologies all – it has been far too long since I started this blog until my first blog post! I will blame it on increasing hours at work, the June storm where we lost power for four days (video of the south coast damage here. And jury duty. Anyway excuses, excuses I hear you say! Fear not, I will endeavour to post up a minimum of once a month – hopefully more…. So how about these bags?

Freedom from factory-made fashion. A little bit about me. 0 Degrees of Separation. Monday, 20 April, 2015. OMGoodness, I managed to finish something! I haven’t blogged for a long time! I have done a little bit of sewing over the past few months and I’ve started writing some blog posts but haven’t quite got to the stage of actually posting anything but fortunately Leimomi The Dreamstress. Came up with a brilliant idea for a challenge which would force me to blog about it. Went into her local Spotlight sto...

Shopping! | Off-grid Chic
https://fluffystuffy.wordpress.com/2014/09/09/shopping
Freedom from factory-made fashion. A little bit about me. Tuesday, 9 September, 2014. That got your attention didn’t it🙂. I love fabric shopping but what sewer doesn’t. I’ve almost given up on calling myself a sewer, I think I’m more of a fabric collector and curator. Unfortunately I work with museum professionals who laugh heartily when I say this and tell me that I’m definitely a hoarder, but what the heck do they know. A riot of joyous colour and everything is really cheap. Thursday, 11 September, 20...

Two dresses, a jacket and no funerals… yet | Off-grid Chic
https://fluffystuffy.wordpress.com/2014/10/20/two-dresses-a-jacket-and-no-funerals-yet
Freedom from factory-made fashion. A little bit about me. Two dresses, a jacket and no funerals… yet. Monday, 20 October, 2014. OMGoodness, I managed to finish something! I made three garments in two weeks! I’m not sure I’ve ever managed that before. I probably have in the misty obscurity of my past when I was young and full of the joys of life but these days I’m just not normally that productive. I love these bright colours and now I want to get more of this kind of fabric to make stuff. I was intending...

Making things from fabric, words, and other fibers. Tutorials, tricks, & tips. Nothing that this post should be. April 9, 2014. When one hasn’t posted on her blog in excess of six months, one’s first post back should be. Boy oh boy oh how I’ve missed this. The further away I got, the harder it was to return. I’ve been making the makes, but somehow no story nor garment felt comeback-worthy. And with every passing fortnight, that got worse and worse. So this is me, breaking the ice. This post was precipita...

Freedom from factory-made fashion. A little bit about me. Monday, 15 June, 2015. OMGoodness, I managed to finish something! Look I made a gigantic eel! I’m not sure how many other people she asked to make it before she came to me but I know there was at least one and she said no, luckily for me😉. Of course I said yes! I actually said, ‘OMG, YES PLEASE! And when our instructor read out the summaries of our personalities I found out that I am not suited to jobs involving figures. Guess what my job is!
