When Bloggers meet Bloggers

So imagine this, you're taking a large group of sewing girls to the fabric district of west London and while in the shop you randomly meet other bloggers. *squeel!* Cue totally girly reaction and lots of blog and fabric talk. This is what happened when we were in the shops at Goldhawk Road and we met Dibs from Dibs in the Machine and Claire from Sew Incidentally. Of course we swapped blog info immediately and I was just on their blogs and guess what I found? This gorgeous picture of us together: 


We tried about 10 times to get this not blurry which was really quite amusing. I got the piccie from Dibs' website, I hope she doesn't mind me watermarking it. I have become painfully aware that people think everything on the internet is free so am trying to watermark everything... 

It was lovely meeting these girls, and they've signed up to Meetup so we might be seeing more of them soon :) I just love meeting other bloggers, it happens way too rarely. Oh yes, you have to check out the posts they've written about the shopping trip as they actually took pics while shopping also, unlike our group hihi... although I did notice this pic on Claire's blog, hope you dont mind me borrowing this Claire (otherwise please so let me know), it's our group! So cool to have this pic! :)


It was lovely to meet you all and hope to see you again soon!

    Hi MJ!
    Hey no problem re: the borrowed picture :)
    Hope we can meet again soon (hopefully the Olympics & Paralympics won't bring the public transport system in London to a standstill LOL!).

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 ...
