The simple joys of sunshine and sewing… | Thimbles and Teapots
https://thimblesandteapots.wordpress.com/2015/04/19/the-simple-joys-of-sunshine-and-sewing
Tea, cake and sewing…. The simple joys of sunshine and sewing…. Asymp; 2 Comments. Love patchwork and quilting. Hello everyone. I do hope that you’ve been enjoying the glorious sunshine. It is amazing how a little bit of sun can improve your overall wellbeing. Indeed, my energy levels are much improved of late and I’ve been feeling quite creative. In the past couple of weeks, I have written a blog-post for another blog (which will hopefully appear on littlebigday.ie. For some time now, I have been ponder...

Tea, cake and sewing…. Asymp; 12 Comments. Which was written during one of the most difficult periods of my life to date. Things improved, however, and I returned to my light-hearted manner of writing about my adventures (or misadventures) in sewing. In which copious amounts of fabric was purchased (therapy of course…) and I have tried to do a little sewing when I can but I don’t have a great deal of stamina right now. The particular entry that I’m referring to can be found at:. 8216;All I know is that c...
A little break in Northumberland…. | Thimbles and Teapots
https://thimblesandteapots.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/a-little-break-in-northumberland
Tea, cake and sewing…. A little break in Northumberland. Asymp; Leave a comment. The landscape of Northumberland is truly beautiful and it is far less touristy than popular destinations such as the Lake District or Cornwall. Even though the schools were on holiday, the beaches were pretty deserted and we rarely saw any other cars on the road. Here are just a few photos from our little adventure:. Beautiful beach at Amble. Another picture of the beautiful beach at Amble! Can you spot the butterfly? In the...
Trying to make piping and other sewing woes…. | Thimbles and Teapots
https://thimblesandteapots.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/trying-to-make-piping-and-other-sewing-woes
Tea, cake and sewing…. Trying to make piping and other sewing woes. Asymp; 1 Comment. Why would I try to make my own bias-binding you may wonder? Apparently, when attempting to make piping for a cushion, you should cut all fabric strips on the bias to ensure a smooth finish. I therefore found this simple tutorial from By Hand London. Making bias-binding is much easier on a Sunday when you’ve had a bit more sleep, the sun is shining and you may have also had a raspberry and mint martini at a summer market.
My sewing projects | Thimbles and Teapots
https://thimblesandteapots.wordpress.com/my-sewing-projects
Tea, cake and sewing…. A patchwork teddy called Henry! Made using a pattern from Love Patchwork and Quilting. My very first quilt. I am quite proud of this. It was made using fabrics from the Vin du Jour range (3 Sisters for Moda fabrics). Can’t remember what fabric this is but I think I bought it from a quilt shop in Narberth (South Wales). If you haven’t been to Pembrokeshire then you really should go, if for no other reason than because there is a quilt shop. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your ema...

How to Make a Rubik's Cube Cake! | make do and mend
http://makedo-and-mend.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-make-rubiks-cube-cake.html
Thursday, 20 September 2012. How to Make a Rubik's Cube Cake! Earlier this week my friend Sarah and I made a Rubik's Cube cake as a birthday present for somebody who is apparently a bit of a champion at them! This cake was really fun to make, although it did take us around 3 hours in total due to the separate layers, meaning we didn't finish til around 11pm! For the Victoria Sponge Cake. 225g/8oz butter or margarine, softened at room temperature. 225g/8oz self raising flour. 2 tsp vanilla extract. 3 Next...
Film Friday: Inside Out | make do and mend
http://makedo-and-mend.blogspot.com/2015/08/film-friday-inside-out.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. Film Friday: Inside Out. The latest Disney-Pixar film, Inside Out. Travels inside the mind of a little girl called Riley, who has to adjust to life in a new town. We see her emotions, Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear struggle to cope as she has to get used to a new school, friends and home. Amy Poehler is the brilliant voice of Joy, Mindy Kaling is Disgust and Bill Hader is fear. Kyle Maclachlan plays the dad. (We also noticed Flea's names on the credits! I loved Inside Out!

Tuesday, 7 July 2015. Furniture Makeover: Colourful Dining Chairs. For our latest home DIY project Tom and I decided to give some old dining chairs a splash of colour. I've been collecting wooden 'Ercol' style chairs over the last few months and have now amassed 6 mis-matching ones which cost between £3-5 each (plus one genuine Ercol. Which was £25 from eBay but covered in blotchy dark wood stain! For this project you'll need:. Rough, medium and smooth sandpaper. Clear gloss finisher spray. First we gave...

Saturday, 25 April 2015. What I've Been Reading Lately. I've read some good books lately on my morning commute, here's a few recent favourites. My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff. I really enjoyed this account, which at times reminded me of the work experience I spent at an art book publisher in London when I was a student. Displacement by Lucy Knisley. Lucy Knisley is one of my favourite graphic novelists. Her first book French Milk. Clothes, Music Boys by Viv Albertine. I loved Viv Albertine's biography...
Film Friday: Tig | make do and mend
http://makedo-and-mend.blogspot.com/2015/07/film-friday-tig.html
Friday, 24 July 2015. I first heard about Tig. On a podcast a while ago, so was glad to see it's finally on Netflix. Tig. Is a documentary about comedian Tig Notaro, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, which led to a legendary stand-up set which became a sensation overnight. We also follow Tig through her recovery and her quest to have a child. Tig is friends with comedians including Sarah Silverman, who makes a brief appearance along with her co-star on In a World. 24 July 2015 at 19:30. Like a Skele...

Friday, 20 February 2015. Seven good films for a romantic night in. Finding a decent romantic comedy to watch on a night in can prove tricky. Most aren't my cup of tea - Love Actually. Made me cringe and I could never really relate to Bridget Jones. But there are a few romantic films that aren't overly schmaltzy or cliched. Here are seven great comedy romances to watch with your other half (or best friend. or pet dog) that don't suck. 5 When Harry Met Sally. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan star as high school...
Bathroom makeover - Before & After | make do and mend

Sunday, 2 August 2015. Bathroom makeover - Before and After. Painting was actually really fun and didn't take too long at all! We chose a duck egg blue colour which I'm really happy with, and found some travel posters of Nottingham and (Tom's home town) Peterborough on the Science Museum site. Which has some fantastic vintage posters in categories like space. On a trip to London a couple of months ago I couldn't resist a visit to Anthropologie. Their home and kitchen section is a-mazing. Weve recently em...

Friday, 27 March 2015. Film Friday: Films to look forward to. As I've been so busy with the house move I've not seen as many films as I'd like to recently, but there are some good ones coming out soon that I'm looking forward to. 1 While We're Young. 2 Heaven Adores You. Elliott Smith is one of my (and Tom's) favourite musicians, so I'm looking forward to watching this new documentary about the life of the late singer-singwriter. It's premiering at Derby Film Festival next month which is exciting! Wednes...

Friday, 30 January 2015. Is the true story of Cheryl Strayed's journey across the US Pacific Crest Trail which stretches from the border of Mexico right up to Canada. Along the way she encounters creepy men, snow, extreme heat and a strange fox but it's nothing compared to what she went through before she began the journey. Reese Witherspoon has now received an Oscar nomination for her role as Cheryl and Laura Dern is fantastic as her mother. Gaby Hoffman ( Girls, Transparent. Pops up as Cheryl's friend.
A Saucy Stitch: Making a Harry Potter Cloak
https://asaucystitch.blogspot.com/2014/03/making-harry-potter-cape.html
Monday, 10 March 2014. Making a Harry Potter Cloak. Believe it or not, I have actually been sewing; I was thrust into some frantic stitching activity when my curly girly demanded a Harry Potter dress up outfit for World Book Day at the 11th hour. The cape is an easy peasy pattern taken from the lovely book, Growing Up Sew Liberated. You can easily make this cape in a couple of hours and it can be as cheap as chips if you get yourself some bargain fabric. I'll finish with my favourite spell; RICTUSEMPRA!

Tuesday, 24 February 2015. How lovely is this pretty little granny square? It's designed by the talented and lovely Astri over at Apple Blosson Dreams. For a 12" cushion insert I made nine granny rose squares with a row of trebles around the edge after joining them. I din't count how many chains I used on the back, I just kept going until it looked like it was roughly the width of the front piece. Simple rows of treble clusters with double crochet for the button band. Friday, 20 February 2015. My most re...
