I won I won!

Hi again everyone!
I'm on Facebook waaay too much... In fact, the whole point of blogging was to be able to write more than just one sentence about whats going on in my bizarrely whirlwind head (notice how I didnt say 'brain'? LOL). So anyway, there is a sewing group on Facebook called The Sewing Directory which I later discovered is also on blogspot. The girl who runs it, Fiona, is absolutely wonderful and her blog/facebook posts are so much fun to read :) Every now and then she posts a giveaway and I entered one back in June or so and I actually won! I had meant to blog about it earlier but I totally forgot... Until today when my second prize arrived as I won last week's giveaway also! I was so flattered! Such random luck! Check out what I won:

I got this pack of FQs from The Fabric Loft. I havent used them yet as I cant seem to find a project for them, but they're still in the plastic (dont you just love the charming ribbon?) so they're safe for when I know what I want to make.

And today I received this book, The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Companion

I have only flicked through it for now but it looks really good so far :) As you might have guessed I'm indeed left-handed and some things (especially knitting) are not always easy to learn left-handed!

So go on and check out The Sewing Directory for lots of interesting blog posts about sewing!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t...

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id...

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February ...
