So thankful to have moved this project forward. Today I sewed the binding onto the front and back panels. I also attached those panels to each other.

I was making such good progress today until I burned my lil fingers! 🥺

One of the hurdles I’ve needed to overcome is my panels shrinking in the wash and becoming too small. I chose to crop everything by a couple inches to accommodate. I’m only 5 feet tall so I don’t anticipate this being an issue.

We take our sabbath on Saturday because my husband works at church & Sunday is a workday for him. As a stay at home mom, my job never really ends. However, on sabbath I take it easier and don’t guilt myself for letting my chores go. Sewing is relaxing for me, so to me it doesn’t count as work. 😊

Pattern I’m following is the Rue Quilt Coat by @spaghetti_western_sewing

A literal moment of silence for my latest sewing project that took me 4 days! ✂️

Pattern used is the Rue Quilt Coat by @spaghetti_western_sewing
I made 9 patch blocks using 3” squares, sewn with 1/4” seam allowance for 7.5” finished blocks. Pieced those all together and quilted by stitching in the ditch and with a wool knit fabric as batting.

This was quite experimental and I was worried about shrinking & stiffness especially. It actually turned out great and it made the coat really soft & warm. It’s actually a great budget hack depending on where you buy the fabric. I got this wool fabric for a coat from “Driessen stoffen” for €8 a meter, it was too soft in my opinion for that purpose so it was great to still be able to use it ⭐️

I made the size 3XS and heard lots of people talk about how oversized this pattern is. Which it definitely is— but I’m notorious for drowning in jackets/coats and I actually find this one to not be too oversized.

All in all, it took a big chunk of my time but I’m super pleased will the result and hope to wear it loads 🍂💕

“I’m coming to the cottage” x Cosy Cottage

I made this as a gift and it has finally made it to its destination! I’m obsessed with Heated Rivalry, and in episode 5, when Ilya called Shane with that fateful line, I envisioned using @squarestories_slowmade #cosycottagetote pattern as the base and receptacle for Heated Rivalry fandom.

I started with the roof- @lewisandirenefabrics Tiny tonals fabric. The sides- JL in @spaghetti_western_sewing FPP Spaghetti Western Alphabet FPP - are also Lewis & Irene Fabrics Tiny Tonals. JL = Jane & Lily, texting code names for Shane & Ilya. Of course I had to add hockey sticks because, HR. Loon FPP “Loon on the Lake” pattern @madebymarney .

The green side of the tote is my interpretation of that all glass and wood beamed house reflecting the lake (fabric @heatherrossinsta ) Frogs inspired by @marlataviano use of Frog & Toad by Arnold Lobel in the context of HR. And letters are all @rubystarsociety . Lining and pockets are all Heather Ross horses, with a Ruby Star shoulder strap and faux leather handles for the vegan recipient of this cottage.

I made this as a bday gift and it was several months late, but I hope the recipients enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! Can’t wait for #heatedrivalry season 2! #imcomingtothecottage #stupidcanadianwolfbird

I made this Henrietta skirt (by @spaghetti_western_sewing ) in the summer and I've worn it lots but somehow, I've still not got round to sharing!

This was made up in a double gauze type fabric I picked up from the @rainbowfabricskilburn stall at @thestitchfestival in March. I had a vision for the wavy stripes, using them in different orientations. I remember asking pals at the @curvy_coven_uk who did warn me that it could end up looking like elephant ears! Hopefully I avoided that 🐘

It's a really straightforward pattern, I am a big lover of this skirt shape and of course, I had to add an extra bottom ruffle too!

I've also made up a Bernie bag (by @fridaypatterncompany ) in the same fabric, to make up for the lack of pockets, but unfortunately, despite measuring, it's not big enough for my phone! I am wearing it in the last pics in rainy Glasgow, but it's not had many outings as I am more of a function over form gal. I will make it again at some point as the design is really cute but I'll increase its size so it can be more useful!

Making trousers for my fast-growing 5-year-old boy @spaghetti_western_sewing

Starting with a pair of trousers that already fit him to get the measurements right…

Then choosing a size 6 pattern (although I’m now thinking I should’ve gone with a size 5!).

Making paper patterns in sizes 6 and 4 from the same pattern printout so I can also make them for his brother

Cutting out the fabric.

Choosing a contrasting colour for the topstitching.

Adding lots of pockets and topstitching for those little details.

Reinforcing the knees with patches, because I’m forever sewing up holes in his trousers!

Adding a fun zebra print to the inside of the pockets and a matching label.

Finally, hemming them… quite a lot! But hopefully that means he’ll get plenty of wear out of them and they’ll still fit next year.

And the best bit? He seems pretty happy with them.
