    Different Ways To Use a Favourite Sewing Pattern

    June 12, 2020June 24, 2025 Blog, Sewing Archives

    It’s no secret that I love circle skirts! They suit all body shapes, they’re easy to make, and although I mentioned patterns in the title, I never use a pattern to make one! When I was having a tidy up the other weekend, I found some fabric I’d…

    Needle cases might be seen as a little bit old fashioned, but I like them. I’m the worst person in the world for losing needles, so having somewhere pretty to put them might stop me from losing so many! This DIY embroidered needle case will eventually end up…

    One of the things that I’ve had on a Pinterest board for a long time is this. It’s a fusion quilt, which basically means that you make quilt squares then crochet them together, so it fuses sewing with crochet. Every time this quilt pops up again, or when…

    This post contains affiliate links. Creativity is an odd thing sometimes. Usually I have lots of ideas, but this hasn’t been the case as much recently. Alan Turing apparently had his best ideas in the bath, and I suspect there’s something in feeling relaxed that helps ideas to…

    I’ve been selling craft kits on Etsy for a while now, and, as ideas go, it’s proved to be one of my better ones. When I opened a shop on Etsy I had no idea what I was doing and I only hit on the craft kits idea…

    Ooh lockdown! We’re now into the fifth week of this in the UK and it goes without saying that it is an odd time. I know we’re safe here, tucked up at home. Our house is on the small side, but it’s not that small. Not in comparison…

Out looking for signs of spring ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒž They are ever Out looking for signs of spring ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒž

They are everywhere now. The hedgerows are coming green. There is lots of blossom. New buds are appearing on the trees and starting to open. The sun was warm today and the birds were singing ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Doing something creative can be a way to express h Doing something creative can be a way to express how nature fills us with inspiration, how we can't help but let it overflow into things we make, or paint or draw.

It can also be a way to notice what is there. It's so easy to rush through life  without really seeing, for things to become so familiar that even when we slow down, life's distractions stop us paying close attention to all the beautiful things that are there for us to see. There is so much beauty in the natural world, and so much peace to be found in not just spending time in nature, but leaving the distractions behind, parking the worries and putting our phones in our pockets, and being fully present.

Drawing, or painting, or even making some kind of abstract stitched thing requires us to really look. To notice the different shapes of the petals, and the tiny shadows and the little lines. How it is slightly more pink at the edges. How the centre of the flower is green, not pink. 

The drawing is the result of what we see. Whether or not somebody else would think it is good is not the point. It's about what you see, what you notice, and how that travels from your brain, through your arm and out onto a piece of paper, and how now that perfect little thing is there in your brain. Whatever else is going on, there is cherry blossom ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ

Blossom spam! So far March has been a lot less we Blossom spam!

So far March has been a lot less wet than February, and there has been plenty of sunshine and some almost warm days.

In the past, when lionish weather has come back, I've seen it as nature trying to trick us. It seems like spring, and then it is winter again. Maybe summer is on its way, then no, we've regressed back to winter.

Now I don't see it like that. Sunny days are a treat, and a promise of what is to come ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’–
