- I have finally managed to naturally dye some organic cotton I had in my stash - I used Rebecca's dyeing with avocado skins tutorial. It takes a while, but totally worth the effort. I am not sure what I will make out of my new fabric, but whatever it will be I cannot wait to wear it with my new hand-knitted cardigan.
- Pauline released her new pattern - the Rosari skirt - I love how she is always bang on trend. I want a jeans version of this skirt - and in fact I already have the fabric in my stash for it. Maybe I will even wear a skirt, and not just make one for my wardrobe. That would be quite something.
- I discovered Clemence - or Huguette Paillettes on instagram - she posts free tutorials/patterns. It seems that the Germaine Cardigan will become a French blogger must have. It is a free pattern, so I may have a go.
- I may just have to read this book about courage and the next steps. I may not be ready for any of this yet, but hopefully in time I will.
- Liesl is going to do a shop update on October 30, and the natural colour she produced out of walnuts is unbelievable.
- The versions of the Mesa quilt makes me want Quilting from every angle even more. I love Nancy's style. It may get me back into quilting as well. Has anyone got the book?
- Grainline Studio and the Tamarack jacket - I have wanted to make a jeans quilted jacket for a while. It might be it (with a few modifications here and there). Love that it is collarless!
- Erin sewed a top called Natalie- well I just had to check it out - how fun would it be to sew a top with my name on it. It is a bit too similar to the Weekend Gateaway blouse - that I should have finished by now but is not. Still a nice top with a great name!
- I love the Aoraki hat - I have not bought the pattern yet, but for sure I will knit myself one this year - probably in that colour with that pompom - OMG, have you seen the pompom?
I love the Aoraki hat too, would be perfect for me to watch rugby in. Beats the hat bought off the man with the stand outside Chelsea football ground that I usually wear. I love the soft colour of your hand dyed fabric
ReplyDeleteQuilting from Every Angle has caught my eye too - every quilt in it looks amazing. I have also been looking longingly at this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miss-winkle. I am hoping my Mum will knit it for me! Thanks for sharing Nat. Hugs to you xx
ReplyDeleteI love that dusty pink! Looks like it will go really well with that knitting, too.
