Weekend activity: watching the Great British Sewing Bee from the beginning, and finally deciding that the burnt orange and white striped fabric in my stash needs to be a shirt with a yolk.
Go looking for a pattern and find a 1940s option in my Lutterloh kit. It had a front and back yolk, and an interesting double-pointed fall-back collar. Commence sewing pattern dot-the-dots. Here's hoping I have enough fabric to do the pattern matching/balancing that inspired the idea.
All very cozy.
Here's the little pencilcase that I made this weekend. I like this pattern because it's long enough for markers and brushes.
All materials apart from the zipper are remnants from my stash.
If you're after a very last minute gift idea, might I propose this as inspiration? I had to make 50 squeaky bones for an event recently and decided it'd be a very good idea to document the process so you can see how I went about it.
Change the shape, and this is a good project idea for decorations or even simple stuffed toy gifts.
It's that time of the year when I suddenly wish for a pair of fingerless reading mittens when I sit at my computer. So I pulled out one of those half-used balls of sock yarn and cast on. I'm using one of my favorite patterns for an interesting texture : https://knitty.com/ISSUEspring08/PATTfrootloop.html
Next project: a belt bag, using a very cute antifascist patch that I once bought from a now-defunct web store. The only material I bought for this is a strap and some D-rings, otherwise it's stashbusting.
