My friend found this very old cloth in a bag of jumble sale donations. The edging is exquisite hand crochet. It had a couple of nasty stains. One is now under the duck and the other under one of the flowers. It was beautifully hand hemstitched as well, bu

The picture was the test stitch of the first design I did with Sfumato. I found it when I was having a clear out and decided to make it into something for the arts and crafts exhibition which is being held next month at the church. The fabric came from S

I was asked what digitising involved and I thought it was worth throwing open to the community! For me, it means visualising what I want to make, then drawing lines in Embird for each stage of the construction which it cleverly turns into stitches for

Chambray tunic - the neckline was embroidered and the facing attached in the hoop. The side slits were done with one of the heirloom stitches built into my machine. The colours I used are a bit subtle for me!

"A stupid question from a stupid man" was the subject line of the email. (Guess who it was from!) Here is the text of the message. Further to my stupidity in volunteering to make these syringe-driver bags, I have a question which continues in

Crochet hook case to go with the knitting needle case I made a couple of weeks ago. The elastic loop is the fastening, but I may take it off as the fairy doesn't kook too comfortable with it around her middle!

I bought this lovely fabric at "Sewing for Pleasure" a couple of weeks ago. I thought it would be perfect for a set of knit/crochet storage items. Here is the first one - a zipped pouch for my circular needles. I hope it will stop them either escaping o

Do you have Murphy's Laws in other parts of the world or is it an English thing? Murphy's basic law states that "if something can go wrong, it will go wrong." Today I proved Murphy's Law as it relates to ITH toy making - "if you only have enou

I've been fiddling with this design for a couple of days. I wanted to put it on a sweatshirt, but it didn't stitch well on an old t-shirt. So I stitched it on a piece of medium weight calico and made a bag to save wasting my time!

An interesting question came up at our stitching bee today. One lady said that in all "old ladies sewing boxes" she had seen there was an acorn and she wondered why. None of us knew and Google only came up with the fact that Jane Austen had one in hers.

The strip of voile was pleated onto the bottom of the t-shirt after the embroidery. Finally I gathered up the side seam to give a ruched effect. When I wear it, the bottom is stretched a bit and the lower end of the ruched seam is just on my hip bone. Des

My sewing group had heaps of fabric donated and amongst it I found a panel that was four square scarves. I wanted to make a skirt from them, but it would have been very short so I came up with this. I hemmed each scarf on two sides and then joined the
