Hello lovely ones, today's prompt for #marchmeetthemaker is Highs and Lows. The highs of my day are when a doll comes to life, and I see a little face that I can just fall in love with. It is such a wonderful feeling that my hands have created this little character. If I can get a feeling that a doll has a mind, thoughts, feelings of its own all the better it makes everything worthwhile. It’s such a special feeling, I want to cherish and protect them. I have to admit that the lows of my life come by the way of social media. If I could sit and create all day and not worry about getting my dolls out into the world I would be a blissfully happy little artist. There is nothing more disappointing than writing a ‘good’ post and taking some nice photos and putting it all out there only to have the algorithms decided to hardly show anyone. And when only 6 people read your latest blog, you do wonder if it was worth the time it took to write. I know this a problem that everyone trying to sell on-line is having at the moment, even big business don’t have the reach they used to, but if you have very few followers then that reach is so small that trying to grow seems like a monumental task. This can all be very depressing, so I try not to look at these numbers and just carry on creating things that make me happy and showing you and hoping that they make you happy too, but today’s prompts is Highs and Lows so there you go that is the low of my business. #feelingcrafty #artandcraft #shophandmade #handmadebusiness #handmadegifts #handmadecreations #handmadewithlove #makersofinstagram #artisanmade #sewinglovers #sewing #sewinginspiration #sewingfun #marchmeetthemaker2023 #cottagecore #handmadesmallshop (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2MSVVImDU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

During the lockdown I was playing with textiles and experimenting with Shibori, tie dye and bleaching denim with some surprising results, this was my last piece and until now I was unsure what to do with it but my Lancer Jacket pdf sewing pattern (available on @etsy )was perfect, I love the random marks and the colours. @easthillstudios #denimlovers #shibori #casualjacket #lancerpdfsewingpattern #tailored #sewinglovers #tie-dye #denimbleaching # https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJimu5KBzq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I put together a themed Animal Bones Materials Bundle over here. It includes a curated collection of items, just add your own creative magic. Use all the pieces together like a large zippered pouch with extra zipper pocket or split up the bundle and use the pieces across multiple projects. The photo shows off the pieces, including: a white acrylic saber-tooth cat skull pendant, three white acrylic bone button toggles or embellishments, hand screen printed animal bones pattern in white ink on found rock texture fabric in browns and greys plus some extra without the print, an etched ox skull bamboo pendant or charm, and two antique brass color metal YKK zippers with grey edging in 8-inches and 4-inches.
Today I tried to sew the "Classic Shell Top" from the "Sewing Bee - The Modern Wardrobe" book. I really like the way the patterns and methods are explained and I learned a lot while I was sewing it. This is the first time I actually made something with darts and I am fairly happy how they turned out. However, I should have chosen a size smaller (or in general learn to measure myself correctly :) But it was quite cheap fabric so it was perfect as a learning piece.
There's not a day gone by that I regretted this decision. Taking the leap to pursue this sewing journey has had its fair share of ups and downs, but every up is a win and every down is a lesson learned for next time. And there are way more ups than downs. Seeing people around the world impacted by my work makes me feel the most blessed. Whether they're sharing their very first sewing project ever, creating gear for their brand, getting accepted into fashion school, or putting their own twist on the cargo pants... those are the biggest ups. Special shout-out to y’all who made the Cargo Pants DIY🫡 unbelievable work here. 📹 Catch the “How to Sew Cargo Pants for Beginners | GA023” tutorial on YouTube 👖The beginner’s DIY Kit for Cargo Pants link in bio #sewing #cargopants #sewingforbeginners #sewingdiy #streetwear #sewingtutorial #streetfashion #diy #streetwearfashion #freesewingpattern #sewingproject #sewinglove #sewingpatterns #sew #streetweardaily #streetwearbrand #clothingbrands #clothing #streetwearclothing #fashion #designer #sewingdiy #fabric #sewingaddict #sewingmachine https://www.instagram.com/p/Cocy-L3pOol/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hello lovely ones and fairy folk. Today is day 9 of #marchmeetthemaker by the fantastic @joannehawker and today's prompt is Trial and Error. A perfect prompt for me to tell you about my attempts at soldering recently. I have been through practically every craft it is possible to do in one’s own kitchen. And a few that are probably not really advisable in a kitchen; glass beads for instance. Holding the blowtorch wrapped in a towel (it got real hot) between your knees while forming glass beads could have turned out dangerous. As it happens both me and the house got out unscathed. I have some sweet little beads as testament to a short lived ‘hobby on a whim’, and all the equipment that is required, should that whim ever return. About the same time, but with a smaller blow torch, just your regular kitchen, melt the sugar on a crème brulee, type of torch, I played with silver jewellery making and had lot of fun soldering rings and pendants etc. whilst building up another selection of tools and equipment. This is leading somewhere, I promise, but to read more you will need to go to my latest blog post... link in bio ...
