Deconstructing one outgrown and ripped ski jacket Deconstructing one outgrown and ripped ski jacket to get a zip to fix the current winter jacket. Sunday sewing may not be the Christmas cracker making I had planned but it’s more important my son stays warm on his way too and from school tomorrow. #sundaysewing #clothesrepair #upcycling #wastenotwantnot
Today was grey and foggy, as is so often the case Today was grey and foggy, as is so often the case here this time of year. The light wasn’t the best for cross stitching on a dark background, but I still made some progress. #sewingonthetrain #crossstitching #dulldaysofautumn
It was so wonderful being able to get back to Patc It was so wonderful being able to get back to Patchwork in the Peaks this autumn and now I‘m all signed up to go again in spring. This will be Peaks 20, which marks over 10 years of @busyneedlequilting organising this amazing biannual retreat. Places fill up fast but as far as I know there are still a few available. Maybe I‘ll see you there this time? #quiltretreat #patchworksinthepeaks #alpinesewingretreat
I have made two crackers now and am getting closer I have made two crackers now and am getting closer to a design I am happy with. Hopefully I’ll nail it next time. #sewingforchristmas #fabriccrackers #makingitupasigo #sewingwithoutapattern #handmade
Christmas crackers have been an essential part of Christmas crackers have been an essential part of Christmas since my childhood. A number of years ago we started using fill you own crackers to cut out all the unwanted tat that usually comes in shop bought crackers. Then we switched to make your own crackers to generate even less waste as the cracker boards I bought were fully recyclable. This year, however, we are all out of cracker boards. I could get hubbie to laser cut more but he is unlikely to be home this month so realistically that is not really an option. Time for me to see what I can do with some fabric, velcro and lightweight bendable plastic chopping boards I guess. #sewingforchristmas #fabriccrackers #makingitupasigo #sewingwithoutapattern #handmade
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve said I’ll go to bed after I finish this row 😂😴🙄 #latenightknitting #justonemorerow #knitting #knittedblanket
It’s a dull grey day here and, although this isn It’s a dull grey day here and, although this isn’t looking its best and brightest, I couldn’t resist laying out these flowers to see where this project is heading. It started with the two identical larger flowers and was going to be a table runner. But realistically I know I’ll rarely ever use a table runner so I quickly scrapped that idea and but kept making flowers for the fun of it. Now I am thinking I could just add one more small flower to the mix and make a cushion. Or maybe I’ll unpick one of the duplicates to mix it’s pieces into new blooms and make enough for a larger something 🤔 #decisionsdecisions #epp #slowsewing #epplotusblossom #libertyfabric #sewingwithliberty #piecedwithaurifil #libertyandlinen
I do so love the colours of autumn and while the r I do so love the colours of autumn and while the reds, rusts, oranges, yellows and more of the local forests are expected and enjoyed each year it is a pleasant surprise to see them echoed in my chilli bed each time I visit the garden at the moment. #coloursofautumn #chillies #raisedvegetablegarden #lateautumnharvest
Red sky in the morning… It does make me wonder Red sky in the morning… It does make me wonder if the day will really bring the sunshine that is currently forecast 🙋🏻‍♀️ #redskyinthemorningshepherdswarning #sunrise #autumnskies #lastdaysofoctober #sunriseinthecity
