Cleo clicked! – Red W Sews
https://redwsews.wordpress.com/2017/01/10/cleo-clicked
Adventures in dressmaking from a novice sewist. Middot; Sewing plans. January 10, 2017. Welcome to 2017; here’s hoping it’s a little easier on the nerves than last year was. Guess who was sewing impromptu patchwork sacks until well past bed time on Christmas Eve? Anyway, I also did a fair amount of internet browsing (of course! Particularly after the annual chest infection took hold. New pattern, of course, accounted for a fair number of the makes popping up on my Instagram feed and, slowly, it grew on me.

Blood of my blood – Charlotte Newland
http://www.displacementactivity.com/2015/03/blood-of-my-blood.html
Blood of my blood. It’s been a while since I’ve had something to say on the blog that I couldn’t just whack up on Instagram, but here it is. This quilt idea came to me last October, while I was on the way to a job interview (no, I didn’t get it, but it turns out that was for the best). It was a quick sketch with some very strong and definite requirements (hand applique, dense quilting, just the tiniest bit of colour) that went on to bug me and pick away at me in my sleep. It’s all good. Loved watching th...

Fairy Tale-tastic – Charlotte Newland
http://www.displacementactivity.com/2014/10/fairy-tale-tastic.html
A while ago Aneela. Asked me if I would test her new patterns for a sewing wallet. And (totally adorable) teeny weeny needle book and pouch. I said yes straight away and then promptly failed to get off my arse and make them for a couple of weeks. Oops. I thought they needed special treatment so I finally cracked open some Spoonflower Heather Ross. FQs that I won at QuiltCon (that was a while ago – nearly time for the next one. Blimey, that paragraph was linktastic). And (slightly off-topic) Rapunzel!

Selfless, sparkly sewing – Red W Sews
https://redwsews.wordpress.com/2016/12/25/selfless-sparkly-sewing
Adventures in dressmaking from a novice sewist. Selfless, sparkly sewing. December 25, 2016. So anyway, I’m trying to whizz through the rest of my makes so I can get to them because yes, it would be lovely if they were wearing new dresses at Christmas. Today’s make was one of those super speedy makes that I should have get around to a little earlier, but it’s done and I’m thrilled with it. So thrilled that I don’t want to hand it over! I cut a size L (plus the bodice length) and JUST got it out of 1m of ...

Starry skater dress – Red W Sews
https://redwsews.wordpress.com/2016/12/22/starry-skater-dress
Adventures in dressmaking from a novice sewist. December 22, 2016. December 22, 2016. I’ve got another slightly festive make for you today. I didn’t actually think of it as festive until I wore it to work the day after I finished it (as you do! And one of my new colleagues commented that I was wearing my Christmas dress. Clearly they don’t know me well! Anyway, this dress was inspired by A Million Dresses. It’s the Kitschy Coo Lady Skater dress. I made it first. I re-drew the neckline slightly, leaving t...

Twelve – Charlotte Newland
http://www.displacementactivity.com/2014/09/twelve.html
It’s happened again, that thing where time just keeps moving in spite of my best efforts to slow it down. A whole year.
