I have been working extremely hard at the sewing table to get this quilt done.
I have fabric and supplies sitting in the wings for a few quilts that I am dying to start. But I have been quite strict on myself to finish some WIPs first.
This quilt is the result of my chaletgirl block swap. [...]

Last month I made a Jumper – pattern and wool by Jo Sharp.
It is really daggy, comfy and warm. I love it. I hadn’t blogged about it because I was going to take some better photos. This was taken about a minute after I finished sewing the ends in, over my pjs.
I have also done [...]

I don’t blog much anymore but I still do a lot of making.
This last week I finished my Milobo Cardigan. The ribbon is black velvet. I like the look of it through the eyelets but don’t really know how to tie it to look nice.
I made a needle roll for my circular needles. The green [...]

I have had a “thing” for butterflies for a while. More recently it has turned to dandelions.
I am so consumed by these two things that I have had a tattoo designed that includes both images. It is just sitting waiting for the right time to get it done, but that is another story.
I have been [...]

I am very proud of this project. This is my first knitted adult garment that I have attempted and completed.
It is the February Ladies sweater. The original pattern is from the Knitters Almanac by Elizabeth Zimmerman and it is sized for a baby. The pattern is more of a recipe rather than [...]

I belong to the Australian Swappers group on Ravelry. There is always a few swaps going on. The latest one that I am a part of is the project bag swap.
These are the ones that I made for my swapee. I probably wouldn’t have picked this fabric for myself, but it has sewn [...]

This is a long overdue post.
Mid summer was very hot here in Brisbane and I was inspired to make my little girl some simple cotton dresses. I got some cheap cotton from spotlight.
I trawled through sewingpatterns.com for what seemed like hours and settled on NEWLOOK 6504
So then I googled the pattern the see if [...]

I met for lunch with a few girls from work. One of them recently had a baby and I could not go without giving her something.
I have had this wee wonderfuls pattern for ages and thought I would give it a go. This is Olive from the Make-along series.
She has proper “bottom” and [...]

I have been on a real kick for sewing clothes, but I think I am over it.
I finally made my Amy Butler pj pants. The pattern was a little small so I ended up adding a 4″ panel up each side. I didn’t like them so long either so I cut them off just under [...]

I also made Emmeline a February Babies sweater. It is from Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Knitters Almanac. Funnily enough it is the February pattern.
I used Bendigo Woolen Mills (no surprise there) Mystique. This would have to be the best yarn that I have ever come across. It is a 75% wool 20% mohair [...]
