"Remember a little while back, when I mentioned that &Stitches was hosting a Freaky Flowers swap? This is what I created for my swap partner. I saw a couple of Love and a Sandwich pieces on her Pinterest board and couldn't get the piranha plant out of my head."
"Yes that's right friends, a DIY Hashtag Pillow! As if I didn't love social media enough, right? This project is great for those who are new to sewing because it will help you practice your curves. Or at least that's what I kept telling myself when I was prototyping this."
"So, our Abi loves music and got a wee iPod as her Christmas box. For ages I've been saying we should make a cover for it together but when it came down to it, she didn't really want to do it, so I didn't force the issue and decided to make it for her as a gift."
"There are many things that I really enjoy but way, way up there are crafting and music. Preferably embroidery or crochet and dirty (sound not lyrics - ew!), sing it hard albums. So bringing together my love of the two just made sense."
"For me, making a place mat is like a drawing. Linen is my canvas and colorful fabrics and thread are my paint. I can draw anything I imagine. And also, a place mat is like a writing a letter to me."
"Even the most basic T-shirt craves some attention, and this is a super easy way to liven up any loose-fitting T-shirt you own."
"What do you make for a Doctor Who fan for their Birthday? W hen it was my nephews birthday recently I thought I'd have a go at making him a Doctor Who themed cushion. In case you are not a fan these are Adipose, little alien babies made of fat ( yeh, I know...)"
"A huge thank you to CafePress for sponsoring today's post! As always, I am committed to only partnering with companies and products I really truly love and I'm happy to be able to give a big thumbs up to CafePress today!"
"I made this plush toadstool for my friend Faby recently so I took some step by step photos to share with you guys. I found an awesome pattern for a toadstool pincushion and blew it up to about 300%. Click here for the original pattern and an illustrated tutorial."
"It took me two whole days to embroider 4 years old Claire's drawing on linen. I am sitting in the middle of messy house with back and neck pain now. 😉 But it was worth it and I kind of regret that I didn't start this work years before."
Pop culture and all that ideology sitting in the blind spot. Also crafts.
