To see why - and I only wish I could shower every one of you with goodies! Before the big reveal, a reminder to all winners.

Travel Roll Organizers with Detachable Pouches. These are my new favorite non-clothing sewn items of all time. I made my sisters and my mom different infinity scarves, as well as one garment each. For Laurie, I final.

By Gum, By Golly - Knitting, sewing, and living a DIY life with vintage flair. Creating my dream cutting table for sewing. Spring green batwing sleeve bolero. Perfect 1950s cropped pullover, by way of modern knitwear design.

Firstly, roughly a metre of upholstery fabric I bought in the Scope shop in Lewisham some time ago, and secondly, an old belt from my wardrobe. The two together make quite a nice colour combination. There are four new patterns in the Winter 2016 collection.

A Failed Challenge, Four Successful Garments. Back in March, I think, I decided that I wanted to take part in the Dress Like Your Grandma Challenge. Organised by Tanya of Mrs Hughes, not so much for sewing something vintage, but more as a tribute to my grandma. I wanted, however, to stay true to the shape of the dress bodice and for that reason I used Simplicity 1587. It always surprises me how different garments can look, when using different fabrics.

Having sworn that I no longer wish to wear t-shirts the obvious move for me is to make one. Actually I have much further to go in the department of coming to terms with photographs of my body, which also explains the lack of head.

A Sewing and Knitting Blog, Made in Birmingham, England. Inevitably, however, once I saw the patterns from. This is my first project from the book, the Bibi Pinafore in a stash fabric, a cable knit jersey. There photos were taken yesterday in Digbeth, Birmi.

Monday, 26 March 2018. I did consider waiting a month to write this post when I realised that, as it would have so much more symmetry, but impatience seems to have won out. Before I tell you about my own book, I want to rewind to 2012, when I wrote a post. Wishing you a happy week,.
