The sometime seamstress: August 2013
http://thesometimeseamstress.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 15 August 2013. I already bought new fabric! Who carries 3.5 m of (the same) fabric in their stash? It's in the wash right now, and I'm hoping to trace the pattern to sew at the weekend :). Love everyone's versions of this dress. I been stalking like mad! By the way - Jackie! You get the skirt. I have tried to email you a few times using the address you gave me but my mail keeps getting returned. Please mail me your details so I can send it out to you. kirstyboys@hotmail.com. Maybe next time :-).

The sometime seamstress: July 2013
http://thesometimeseamstress.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 July 2013. FO - Yellow floral Banksia top. So, I finished this Banksia top. I will certainly be making more of these for sure, it is such an easy top to wear. And I like that its made in woven fabric as I am still yet to try and sew with a knit fabric. I feel scared for some reason! More to do with the effects of the fabric on size, rather than a fear of actually sewing with the fabric. I must admit I don't wear this one quite so much as the star print banksia. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. So both...

The sometime seamstress: A new hobby
http://thesometimeseamstress.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-new-hobby.html
Wednesday, 22 October 2014. I have taken up crochet. I only learnt in the last few weeks using you tube videos as my guide - and I can confirm that I love it! So much faster than knitting, and I just love seeing the squares come to life in my hands. So far I have only purchased yarn from the bargain buckets, as I didn't want to spend much while learning. I can't wait until I am confident enough to part with a little more moolah choosing colours that make my heart sing. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Vintag...

Farbenmix Karla coat and Kids clothes week | Matryoshka by Sole

I sew That's what I do most of the time. Not much, to be honest. October 21, 2013. Farbenmix Karla coat and Kids clothes week. Yesterday in the afternoon I managed to finish a Farbenmix Karla balloon coat. It was the first time I sewed something from a Farbenmix pattern and I totally loved it, it is well drafted and I love the design. Since it took me some time to stitch this coat, I’m happy it is so generous because I hope my cheeky monkey will wear it for a couple of winters at least. My daughter reque...

I sew That's what I do most of the time. Not much, to be honest. January 29, 2014. The most productive month of my sewing life. At the beginning of the year, I decided that I would sit less in front of the computer (despite the fact that I said I would write at least a weekly blog post) and more in front of my sewing machine. For some reasons, while my new year resolutions are usually well forgotten by the second week of the year, this time I stick to it. 8211; one pair of Jalie 2908. Also because the fa...

The sometime seamstress: Rest in peace Oscar de la Renta
http://thesometimeseamstress.blogspot.com/2014/10/rest-in-peace-oscar-de-la-renta.html
Wednesday, 22 October 2014. Rest in peace Oscar de la Renta. Like many others, I was saddened to hear of the passing of my favourite fashion designer, Oscar de le Renta. If I had the means I would dress in his designs every single day. The man knew how to dress a woman. His passing, and his spring / summer 2015 collection have spurred me to make a dress inspired by the legend himself. Dress by Oscar de la Renta S/S 2015. Wednesday, October 22, 2014.

The sometime seamstress: More crochet
http://thesometimeseamstress.blogspot.com/2014/11/more-crochet.html
Monday, 3 November 2014. Today feels much more like winter. Cold, wet and dark. I can't complain though as it's been beautifully sunny and mild here of late - perfect weather! Plus the onset of the more seasonal wintery weather makes me even more keen to crochet. I love the pinks and greens together - and I'm pretty happy with all my squares so far - bargain basement and all. I can't wait to have enough squares to make a blanket - maybe sometime in the New Year :). Monday, November 03, 2014. Culling My F...
