One-Year-Blogaversary Giveaway!

Hi all!
A little delayed as my one-year blogging anniversary was actually on the 9th of February, but as some of you may have read, I was a little (ok a LOT) under the weather. But nothing that cant be remedied by blogging a bit later :)

So... I have been blogging for one year! Originally I had planned to blog my 200th post on the one-year blogaversary (is that a word? I dont care, I like it!) but sadly that also didnt work... However, this giveaway will work! And it's a cool one, or at least I think so... It has a bit of a story behind it though which might be nice to share. When I re-started the sewing, I needed projects and there was a girl at my old job who loved yoga and so I offered to make her a yoga bag. I found some really nice fabric, a great pattern, and I was all set. Lots of stuff happened in that time though and the bag actually didnt get made until I had changed jobs and lost touch with my colleague. But I enjoyed making it and it was one of the first items where I added my what later kind of became signature yoyo :)

To make a long story short (ok maybe not that long hihi), I have this brilliant yoga bag, made from the Nigella pattern by Amy Butler (click here for free download), that I would like to give away. I took some pics below, I dont have a yoga mat so had to stuff the bag with clothing. With an actual mat it will look straighter of course :) This bag is completely lined and has three handy pockets in the front. The top does not close by the way, but that shouldnt limit the fun. Curious yet? Check this out:


What do you think? Do you like it? I think the fabric is very zen... The lining is dark blue to match the outer fabric, and the yoyo (not shown here) has the same colour scheme.

You must be wondering what you have to do to get this bag? Nothing much really :) All you need to do is...

    I'm a long time stalker of the blog, and a long time bad yoga practitioner. And that bag is so very ME!

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
