Planning Moneta

I have had my eye on Moneta by Colette patterns for some time, and so when they had a sale last week I decided to snap up a pdf copy. I have recently come round to liking pdf patterns. Although they can be a bit of a pain to stick together, there is no need …

Knit and Stitch Show

Last week I had to head up to Lancaster for a work meeting and so whilst I was there I paid a visit to my parents for the weekend. It just so happened that the Knit and Stitch show was on at Rheged in Penrith. So, of course, we went. I had so much fun. …

Goldhawk Road

A couple of weeks ago I took my first trip to Goldhawk road. A quick trip around bloglamd and the sewing community will  have you realise that this is THE place to go for fabric shopping in London. I wasn't dissapointed we walked from Kensington gardens through Shephards Bush and arrived at Goldhawk Road. At …

Secret WIPs

It's that time of year where everything I am working on is toward a gift of some kind. So many of my friends and family are having birthdays, housewarmings, babies...and Christmas is just around the corner. So unfortunately there is a lot I am working on at the moment that I just cant share with …

Stash sorting

Waterfall Skirt

After all that blogging about knitting and crochet last week I was really excited to get on with some sewing last weekend so I made a good start on the next item on my 'to-sew' list. It was the Clemence skirt from the Tilly and the Buttons' book. I have seen a few of these …

Weekend WIPs – Some sewing to round up a week of knitting and crochet!

After a great week of blogging about knitting and crochet last week for KCBW6 I thought I should get back to some actual crafting at the weekend rather than just writing about it! As I had been so focused on knitting and crochet in the week I thought it would be a great chance to get …

Delphine Skirt

After the fantastic success of my starry pajamas I decided to follow it up swiftly with another sewing project before I lost all confidence. This time I wanted to create something that I could wear outside the house. Say hello to the Delphine skirt. This is another creation from Tilly and the Buttons. I decided to …

Starry Pajamas

I would like to tell you about my first "proper" sewing project. My starry pajamas! Last year my mum gave me her old sewing machine, which was rather limited in its capabilities with only 2 stitches in its repertoire. However, it was enough for me to try a few things out. I even made a …
