There’s this top I made myself before our trip. There are three tea towels that I dyed almost a month ago. And there’s yarn that I finished spinning a week ago. None of these things felt like it required its…

Easy Maxi Dress
After making those pants for E, I felt like I should make V something as well. So on the way back from school one day, I talked to her about what she might like. A maxi dress. I forget the…
Working Through Precious Fabric 2

My Turn

Right before the holidays, I realized my wardrobe was severely lacking in fancy wear. I have some cute Summer dresses but nothing for Winter. I had no desire to spend time and money on something I’d only wear once in…
Harris Tweed Wrap Skirt
This is some of the wool I bought in Scotland, the real handwoven Harris Tweed stuff. And that reminds me that I forgot to sew one of the tags they gave me into the skirt. Must do that. I’d always…
Chloe Cat for Halloween
I took the girls to see The Secret Life of Pets last Summer. E fell in love with Chloe and wanted to be her for Halloween. She’s a grey cat with a bit of white and she’s massively fat. As…
