  • Last pair of pants I’ll need for a while, mostly complete apart from the hems. In the middle of sewing these I realised that I was accidentally sewing up the Second Doctors pants (Patrick Troughton’s Doctor in Doctor Who actually wore yellow check pants, just no one knew until we got the animated/colourised episodes).

  • The colourwork is finally done & I just have to do the ribbing. Before I do that though, I’m going to weave in a lifeline because I’m terrified I’m going to stuff up the ribbing colour control and I really don’t want to tink whole rows…

  • A frustrating pictorial tale of figuring out double knitting twisted rib stitch. Because I decided the stranded colourwork fossil cowl needed to be completely reversible & highly plush…

  • Finally got around to finalising my draft for my #omfd yellow robe. These are the pieces for a test sew. I’m going to be using expensive fabrics to make my #ofmd styled morning gowns so I want to make sure the pattern works first!

  • Some progress shots of the second pair of pants. Steps shown are basic construction, mock flat fell seaming, positioning the zipper, and attaching the waistband.

  • I’m slowly replacing all the pants I’ve had since I was 12yo with ones that actually fit me. This pair is made from a very soft suiting wool & feels divine!

  • One delicious donut shirt. My partner now has all the donuts he desires 🤣

  • Sydney made mask wearing mandatory in some public places last week. So this is what I have been doing since that time; making masks for our household, my family, and some friends. In total I have made 36 masks. I’m done now!

  • Completed summer pinafore. The buttons are non-functional, but I did put in manual machine sewn button holes for the oversized buttons if needed at a later stage.

  • Had to edit the armholes as well to fit me properly without having weird shoulder overhang. Once this trimming was complete, I finished with bias cut from the same fabric. I also marked out my button holes and button placement.
