3/lots I have cut out some dress fabric: - with a toy like this which is playable I need to make the clothes robust and removable so I may make a full wardrobe for her. Changing clothes is a fun game.
It could be full time job mending the holes Kona chews into fabrics. It's a good thing she's so sweet!
This required a patch on the inside, so it wouldn't catch on things being shoved into the pocket, and one on the outside, where it wouldn't be ugly.
I still need to get my hands on that fabric to make a strip to attach on it. Frequent moving between places makes it difficult to get things done.
My favorite pair of home pants developed holes on one thigh. This shall not be borne!
I've been trying #VisibleMending lately, so here's another try. The biggest leaf is large enough to cover all of the holes, but I wanted to add two more leaves for pure visual balance, and embroidered some decorative elements as well.
Meanwhile: it's getting somewhere. Somewhere very warm… 🥵
I finished the coat part by sewing my two not-large-enough pieces together approximately along the shoulder line, cut it open on the front, and attached the hood with preliminary basting stitches to try it out. It's a bit too loose and I still have to take some fabric away from the hood so that it doesn't catch the wind as much. (It also still needs a button to hold it together.)
#HandSewing is a lot of fun, and relaxing work.

I’ve altered my father’s lightweight rain pants to fit me. It took a while, but was an easy fix. 🧵🪡☔️👖✨
The sides are French seamed to prevent fraying.
I think I’ll make a carrying pouch with the cutoff parts. It’ll come in handy for hikes. 😙👌
Trying to make a cutlery pouch… For easier carrying my cutlery around. Somehow I feel the need to do so. I just don't like sharing a spoon with other people. 🪡 🧵
I found myself really need that extra shoulder strip... So I finally attached one, and made it adjustable. Now there really is nothing more to add. 🪡 🧵
