The Merchant & Mills Dress Shirt

A couple of weeks ago when I bought the Merchant & Mills (paper) Dress Shirt pattern and I was a bit worried it may end up looking like a tent… Well I eventually got around to sewing it together. I used the paper multi-size pattern and it was quite a quick and straightforward make. My […]

Wool on Sundays – 70 (only a couple of rows)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays – 70! All I’ve managed to accomplish on the yarn front, this week, is a couple of rows of crochet but I think I have a plan. I’m going to try to make it into a frame pouch/small project bag. I’ve never made a frame pouch so I’m not […]

I came, I pinned, I made!

Once in a while, I see something and I just have to drop everything and make it (more often I just pin it and forget about it) and so it was with the sweet tea pot pincushion from Join the Mood. Manuela has even posted a very clear step by step tute so you can make […]

Wool on Sundays – 69 (What the frog!)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays! Regular visitors to Rainbow Hare will know that my yarn projects tend to grow in fits and starts with as much frogging as making…This week, I was alarmed to find that seems to be spilling over into my daily life. I wanted to send two Sewing Machine Covers to […]

Wool on Sundays – 67 (another cushion…)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays – 67 and thank you very much to everyone who visited last week. :) This week, as usual, I had big sewing plans but I ended up to succumbing to attempting another project from this wonderful book, by Cécile Balladino (you can visit her blog Eclectic Gipsyland), which I showed last week. […]

Wool on Sundays – 66 (purely decorative)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays 66 and thank you very much all the kind and encouraging comments left on last week’s post :) A long time ago (on January 12th, 2014), I wrote a blog post called ‘Solomon Grundy and USP (2014 – Notes to Self)’, which was basically about a resolution I called USP […]
