I've decided to update my look at least in blog terms. Crafty mermaid just doesn't feel 'me' any more. I've set up a new blog and look forward to seeing you there!
A quick make but it took me ages to finish! I was gifted this merino fabric ages ago at a fabric hoarders fabric swap. The binding is from a local Japanese shop on Cuba street . Cute, no? I started it so long ago that I've managed to lose the free pattern I used to create it. oophs! I like the tie I've pulled together a loop from the binding for the front. I've french seamed the seams. I really love the finish. This was one of my first knit garments so its lovely to have it finally finished. I didn't have a recipient in mind at the time - just wanted to use up the fabric and start thinking about knit fabrics but a friend recently had a baby girl so it'll go in the post soon!
Wendy (of Sew Biased ) made a StyleArc Harper Jacket and I loved it. It helped that I bought the same fabric at some point and couldn't think what to do with it! So I made the exact same jacket! Lacking imagination, me? Sorry Wendy! So comfy! I really like how the jacket closes. There's a button hole on both sides. I managed to find a covered button that's really close in colour to the jacket. The whole thing was a quick make and the fabric didn't need to be hemmed. Nicely work appropriate and also so comfy. I didn't really follow the instructions as its fairly straight forward. I also made a second version very quickly with some wool fabric I felted by mistake. I didn't quite have enough so I used a fabric-a-brac fabric (from desiree) for the back of the jacket. Not much more to add about it!
Gemma of sixty six stitches and Wendy of Sew Biased formed a blogging pact to post at least one post a week until our respective backlog of makes have been blogged. I've been creating a lot this year but not really blogging and in most cases, I've managed to photograph the makes. Thankfully it was a day or two into the new year so I'm still on target! So starting of this year of reblogging is a self drafted pencil skirt. Of course, it comes with rather poor quality photos! Overlocked on the inside. And fully lined with an internal yoke and invisible zip. I have such a flat arse seat that there's no back darts - but the fit is great and its a nice coloured addition to my work wardrobe.
