Waste Not, Want Not

Wool on Sundays 156 – (unknitting)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays! This month my only woolliness has been confined to a little unknitting, by which I don’t mean not knitting although I’ve been doing that as well… After some consideration, I decided to unknit this cardigan. Although so short a time ago I thought this was set to be my best […]

Another week in the Makery

A collection of old buttons, a dress that has seen better days, a vintage napkin and some knitting in progress… And, in the Rainbow Hare Makery, another week has gone by… Janine @ Rainbow Hare

A HAT

For Christmas, I made a collection of hats. Not only did I never get around to blogging about them, I gifted them without taking photos – you would have thought I’d have learned my lesson on gifting and asking the recipients for photos by now but, alas, not. Yesterday, however, we went out for lunch […]

Another day, another old curtain…

…another Dottie Angel Frock! This is my third, now, and the material is a heavier cotton than the last two so it’s a bit stiff but I hope it will soften up with washing and wearing. I really do love the pockets :) The pattern I used (with a couple of adjustments) was – Simplicity 1080. […]

Old Curtain | New Frock

It’s been a long time since I did a sewing post (mostly because the light has been so grim I’ve been putting off taking photos) but last week I made a dress and now I am finally posting I can’t think of anything much to say about it except once it was one of a […]
