September Pt 2

More September self-made samples:

Pixie Skirt - made with no pattern, just a bunch of triangles and a waist band





Crash-Love Skirt - red with white hearts, very kitsch!



Underskirt - for both of the above.

September Pt 1

Not been on for a while due to illness and family problems, but I did manage some self stitched September style!

Here we have knitting projects:
the Black Cherry Cardi - with ickle red cherry buttons.

And the Red-Headed Sleeve Cardi - with apologies to Sherlock Holmes!


Sorry for camera quality, I am using the phone one.

Spooky designer!

Well, I'm still wishing I had a camera, as I have completed a knitted cardigan/shrug of my own design. Today. Finally!

Made from warm, red yarn bought from a charity shop, I am happy it's both recycled and actually fits!

Roll on 'getting a working camera'.

Getting there... sewing projects

Well, thanks to an Ikea table I actually have a surface for the sewing machine that's not 10 inches off the floor.
My back thanks you, Ikea.

So this weekend, I've been getting on with (1)the 'shrug', (2)the refashioned mini dress and (3) the no-pattern challenge.

1 is partly sleeved - and in need of hemming - not sure I am happy yet with the sleeves

2 needs tidying up with some hand-sewing but is otherwise OK to wear - Yay!

3 is a pointy pixie-goth skirt made from assorted isosceles triangles with a waist band round the top. Needs hemming or overlocking round the pointy bits and some elastic for the waist - working on it!

Sadly no pics yet due to not having pooter at the weekend, but it's coming along!
