I almost didn’t make a tablecloth this month. The eventual fat quarters I ordered a set of yellow fat quarters, hoping they’d arrive in time for an Easter tablecloth (but they didn’t), only for some of them to be orange. Not just dark yellow, but definitely orange. And, naturally, all a different size to the… Continue reading Fat Quarter Sewing: The Yellow Tablecloth

Fat Quarter Sewing: The Green Tablecloth
For the joys of Spring, a green tablecloth was needed. I’m making my rainbow out of order. As with the red tablecloth, sadly I didn’t have eight green fat quarters in my stash, so to eBay I went. I did have one, a pastel green, which is as well, because of the awkward quantities of… Continue reading Fat Quarter Sewing: The Green Tablecloth
Fat Quarter Sewing: The Red Tablecloth
Having decided to make more Fat Quarter Tablecloths, and looked at my available fat quarters, naturally I needed to go shopping. I simply don’t have eight which would work well for a tablecloth.

Thus, this year is the Year of the Map. Where I got to last year with the Map Because if I complete nothing else, I want that… Continue reading 2021: The Year of the Map
A Stitch in Time: Relearning to Sew
A while back, when I was still at uni (and I hate to think how many years ago that was now!), I had this bright idea of making my own clothes. I like skirts with lots of fabric, skirts that swish and swirl, and I think at the time they weren’t in fashion so were… Continue reading A Stitch in Time: Relearning to Sew
Beginning to Craft
I’ve always been a sporadic sort of crafter. I can’t remember not knowing how to thread a needle and at least be able to attach a button or follow a cross-stitch pattern. I know I was taught to sew and knit as a child – I have memories of making a satchel for school out… Continue reading Beginning to Craft
