Hey all - I’m migrating to a new Mastodon instance (the super lovely freesewing.social!) so if you see weird stuff, I swear I’ve not been hacked, I’m just managing the transition… 😉💕

Up on FehrTrade - a quick top I sewed using a grey cotton jersey remnant and an old fave pattern! It was feeling a bit plain so I added some neon HTV to make more unofficial #TheVampireLestat merch. 😈

Perfect for an outdoor summer gig!

I bought this 100% linen in Paris & paired it with a shirtdress pattern from the 10/24 Burda magazine.

Despite looking like a basic belted shirtdress at first glance, the tie is integrated into the dress pleats itself! Very clever drafting. 👏

On FehrTrade: a quick merino jersey top I sewed in an afternoon using our Versatili-Tee pattern! It looks like a regular teeshirt from the front, but it's got a cycling secret in the back, thanks to the unique wraparound design (no side seams!).

Last RB: apparently this is how I find out my mastodon instance is closing forever - by someone else randomly boosting it into my feed. 😐

No email, no notice, no nothing. I harbour zero ill will for the person running & closing it, but the systems in place are woefully inept.

Signing up to an instance in the first place was SUCH a ball ache that I’m already dreading migrating & wondering if it’s worth it at all…

I'm a week late with my annual birthday sewing post, but I'm a diva that takes a week to celebrate anyhow... 💅

I paired Burda Jan 2024 105 with FibreMood exclusive viscose/wool jersey & I love it!

@NotTheLBCGuy yuuuuuup. The only strain is on the poor 170 bus not having a dedicated bus lane for most of its route 😒

@sara@hachyderm.io thank you so much! I know it’s my own pattern but I have seriously made SO many of both versions of these, even long after the release when I didn’t have to anymore. 🙃 It’s just too irresistible!

@Brodyberg@mastodon.social thank you! I love those labels too - I have another that’s a little cat paw! I linked to the shop in my blog, but I saw the cat ones are sold out right now. 😭

@yaxu@post.lurk.org ah, no I’ve not seen this! I’m largely out of the knitting world cos so little of it is for looms but curiously, I do a simplistic version of her repeating pattern curation myself… I quite like the Doodleknit book & card packs for themed colourwork patterns if I’m not making something super niche for myself.

Up on FehrTrade today I'm showing off my windfall of fabrics from the recent Interview with the Vampire props auction!

I love that I can combine my favourite show with my favourite hobby - I've given myself the gift of future sewing projects and an excuse to rewatch the show to see if I can spot any of these...

@triploidtree thank you! I realised when I was cutting it out that it’s the exact colour of our living room walls… 🙃

@Tesseks@mastodon.social It’s pretty much everywhere that allows user generated content, no matter how small. But feel free to do a bit of research for yourself!

@mlanger I don’t think it’s up anywhere yet but as an American who immigrated to the uk, there’s no point buying unless you have a valid uk visa and can buy in cash, because marine mortgages aren’t available to foreigners not on the electoral roll.

@yaxu@post.lurk.org this is super cool! I’ve been on a colourwork kick recently with my loom knitting so this is really inspiring!
