I know, hexies are só 2010 🙂 But ever since the hype started I have been wanting to give them a try anyway. So when I spotted these these hexie templates at the Handwerkbeurs last month I just had to buy them. I thought they were a bit pricey but […]
Patchwork

I finished it! (click here to see the whole lengthy process) Actually, I finished it back in August, but Little Brother immediately carried it off to his bed so I didn’t get around to photographing it until now. He absolutely loves it! This has been the most rewarding thing I […]
I did not post regular updates as I had planned, but here finally is one on my second patchwork blanket (or should I call it a quilt?). I’m in the final stages of quilting: maybe about 30 minutes of sewing left. Then it just needs binding and a label like my […]

I tried some different things along the way but my final version is this fully hand-stitched, patchworked felt-lined cuff with vintage buttons. […]
A few years ago I bought a pattern for a patchworked diaper bag from Miss Little. The pink one was her example, the green one is the one I ended up sewing while pregnant with Little Brother. The pattern is very lovely, though a bit confusing, and I did freak […]
