Pointelle Jenna | Nikki's Stitches
https://nikkisstitches.wordpress.com/2016/02/21/pointelle-jenna
A sewing diary…. February 21, 2016. This is one of my first makes for 2016 and will be a great addition to my wardrobe. No it’s not a Renfrew. 🙂 This is actually Muse Patterns Jenna cardigan. I’ve hacked it to make a jumper and what a great hack it is. OK, it wasn’t exactly difficult to do, but hey, it works well, don’t you think? A blue pointelle knit from the Oamaru Silk Centre. Thread and some tape to stabilise the shoulders. Size 40 with the sleeve expansion pack. February 21, 2016 at 11:51 am.
The Anderson Blouse | Nikki's Stitches
https://nikkisstitches.wordpress.com/2016/07/19/the-anderson-blouse
A sewing diary…. July 19, 2016. I’ve been eyeing this pattern up for some time. Those images on the Sew Over It. Site are just so tempting! I’m not normally one for a full blouses which tuck in, but this one I just had to try. The fabric came from Evans in Masterton some time ago. I think it was a remnant. The bright colours just called to me. It’s a rayon, so the drape is perfect for this pattern. The pattern instructions though are great. They even have photos to illustrate the points. I will s...8216;...
A trio of patterns plus the odd photobomb by small human | Nikki's Stitches
https://nikkisstitches.wordpress.com/2016/08/21/a-trio-of-patterns
A sewing diary…. A trio of patterns plus the odd photobomb by small human. August 21, 2016. September 1, 2016. Not really the title I was going to use, but hey, it kinda fits in with how a lot of my photos came out! The photos were taken up on the Southern Walkway after a lovely high tea at the SPCA where Kat. 8216;s youngest wanted his part in the photos! I have three new makes in this post which are all repeats. This is the fourth version of this skirt! From The Sewing Store. In Blenheim, April 2016.
JLV Gable Top | Nikki's Stitches
https://nikkisstitches.wordpress.com/2016/08/03/jlv-gable-top
A sewing diary…. August 3, 2016. One of my fellow Kiwis has released another pattern and I’ve been testing it! This latest creation is the Gable Top from Jennifer Lauren Vintage. And what a great wardrobe staple it is. The top has a 50s inspired slash neckline with the option of different sleeve lengths. It’s certainly a stash buster and makes up in no time at all. The tops were both sewn up on my machine and seams finished on the overlocker since I wanted to match up the stripes – check these out! Threa...
Ninacarralindy the 2nd | Nikki's Stitches
https://nikkisstitches.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/ninacarralindy-the-2nd
A sewing diary…. June 27, 2015. December 14, 2015. This is the second version of the outfit I put together a couple of weeks ago, the Ninacarralindy, aka the StyleArc Nina cardigan, Sewaholic Belcarra and Itch to Stitch Lindy Petal skirt. This is now my third Nina cardigan, the first made in May. And if that doesn’t say anything about how good the pattern is, I don’t know what does! I honestly don’t know what to say that’s different! I cut it out one afternoon and made it up the next! I thought I would r...

fall sewing – Elle Gee Makes
https://ellegeemakes.com/tag/fall-sewing
From inspiration to creation. McCalls 7476-A cardigan for all seasons. November 6, 2016. November 6, 2016. Fall means cardigans because they are the perfect layer to throw over shirts and tee shirts when the weather begins to shift, so I’m always searching for new patterns. I was so pleased to find this new McCall’s option; a cardigan destined for ‘tried and true’ status. It’s easy and versatile with just the right amount of tapering for fit. My sweater knit is from Fabric Depot,. It’s been a long ...
bias top – Elle Gee Makes
https://ellegeemakes.com/tag/bias-top
From inspiration to creation. I’m falling for plaid…. November 4, 2015. November 4, 2015. Name Name five things that are cozier than flannel…. Can’t do it? Me neither. That’s why I’m glad this blue and green cotton flannel found its way into my shopping cart. 8216;Cozy’ is the theme of my fall sewing efforts, and this shirt definitely delivers. Cotton flannel is such a dream to wear! So, if like me, you’ve never owned a flannel shirt, let me tell you. It’s high time you did. The hardest part of this proj...
Sew Biased: By Special Request
http://wenznz.blogspot.com/2015/07/by-special-request.html
Tuesday, 7 July 2015. It started innocently enough . T - 'Mummy, I want to be a Ninja'. Me - 'Okay. Have you got a ninja costume in the dress up box? T - 'Oh . no. But I found a picture on the computer, and you can make it for me'. (The google foo is strong in this one! T- 'See, it has a dragon on the front, and it has to have . and . and. and you can make it for me! Me - 'That looks a bit tricky to make .'. T- 'But you are very good at sewing, Mummy :-) '. 08 July, 2015. 11 July, 2015. A very useful bag.
Sew Biased: October 2013
http://wenznz.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 23 October 2013. Hot Patterns Martini Jacket. I have had the HP Martini Jacket. Pattern for a while, but was undecided on fabric. I could see this being a really solid piece in my wardrobe. Well my idea of a neutral colour went out the window when I found 'the' fabric. A gorgeous poly/viscose fabric with a quilted look and a large floral printed on it. I wasn't thinking of the conundrum of pattern matching and other such trifles - I just had to have it! The fabric has a spongy texture, so I en...
Sew Biased: February 2013
http://wenznz.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 23 February 2013. Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment, and have a looksee round my wee corner of the blogsphere. It was also awesome to find some new-to-me bloggers in New Zealand! While I have seen some really cool prize draws on blogs recently, I am going with the standard fallback of the random number generator. Sooo. the number that came up was number 7! Sorry, can't figure out how to get the actual number generator to display, so you'll just have to trust me on that! After some...
Ali McGraw – Elle Gee Makes
https://ellegeemakes.com/tag/ali-mcgraw
From inspiration to creation. New Look 6345: Sewing the Boho Look. August 12, 2015. Whenever I think of outdoor concerts, I think Boho, that loose, free-spirited look the cool seventies girls made famous. Think Ali McGraw, Stevie Nicks. Ali (yes, we’re on a first name basis) had the perfect body for boho – -tall and lanky. American actress Ali MacGraw, 8th March 1971. (Photo by Evening Standard/Hulton Archive/Getty Images). I guess there are worse ways to die though, right? It’s a v-neck, fitted through ...

FO: pink and white floral circle skirt | acharmofmagpies
https://acharmofmagpies.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/fo-pink-and-white-floral-circle-skirt
The things I love to make and do. FO: pink and white floral circle skirt. I’m sharing my first circle skirt. Which I first made in March 2011. Yep, 2 years ago. Taken on a day trip to Russell and Waitangi, where it was perfect. Daintily arranged to show off the print, on the hillside just below Russell’s famous flagpole. Was thrilled to see a bottle of Mello Yellow for sale while in Russell! This giant sundial offers 360 degree views over bush and ocean with the Russell township nestled in it. But ra...

https://fluffystuffy.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/lady-skater-dress-but-with-stripes-and-without-skates
Freedom from factory-made fashion. A little bit about me. Lady Skater dress – but with stripes and without skates. Saturday, 14 June, 2014. OMGoodness, I managed to finish something! On The Monthly Stitch. Is going to be the death of me! I missed dresses week but next up was “New to me” week and I managed to make two entries for this section of the competition. Early in the week I finished the Watson jacket from Papercut Patterns. And now I’ve made the Lady Skater dress from Kitschy Coo. It would be nice...
rayon – Elle Gee Makes
https://ellegeemakes.com/tag/rayon
From inspiration to creation. Butterick 6378: Two tie neck tops. August 29, 2016. Sometimes, you make one version of a pattern, and you love it so much, you rush have to make another. It wasn’t just the versatility of the pattern that inspired me to sew two (2) versions, it was envy too. When I saw these versions in ready to wear, I had to have one (or two) for myself. Version two is the narrow tie option. I made this out of a yummy rayon (fabric depot.com). This version (shown here with my jeans skirt.

Snail Trails
Life is too short to live in the fast lane! Thursday, November 11, 2010. Pancakes.Oh So Good! I am making these pancakes as I type, just took my first bite, and oh my are they good! So how do you take your pancakes? I eat mine with vanilla yogurt, and grape jelly. If I am being spoiled at the moment I will buy some pure maple syrup and indulge! I really hope you make these, and enjoy them as much as we did! Posted by Troop 2449. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Yep, that's what it is for. The second she...
Nikki's Stitches
Sunday, 28 June 2015. A Bouquet of Belcarras. I've made a few Belcarras recently, but hey why not when they are easy to make and the fit is great? There's not much to say, so I'm going to let the photos do the talking. A picture paints a thousand words so they say. This is my bouquet of Belcarras made in June. I think this must have been the worst of the lot to make, but knowing the pattern made it a whole lot easier, but yes, I was swearing sometimes! Fine polyester something from Fabric-a-Brac, I think...
Nikki's Stitches | A sewing diary…
A sewing diary…. December 7, 2016. December 7, 2016. I made this a year ago! And I’ve finally got around to photos – oops! I first saw this pattern and fell in love with it when I saw this. Originally from Sewaholic. After seeing this version I just wasn’t happy until I’d clicked buy on the Style Arc website! The notched collarless neckline, cropped style with a curved hem. What is there not to like? The jacket is completely lined, including the sleeves and has a big facing which the lining is attached t...
Nikki's Stitching
My stitchy progress, as well as random ramblings and comments. Sunday, August 3, 2014. Been getting some good stitching time in so far as I have been off work. Ascendant is first up, I have finished about half a page into this row. She gets neglected, but everytime she comes out it reminds me how much I love her. Large Travel Bookshelf is currently being worked on, very close to another page finish! While my stash size is increasing, I was finding my rotation very difficult to manage, so I have pared thi...
