Miranda frequently leaves little drawings around of designs she’d like me to make. I can tell its time to do something about it when she keeps showing me alternate views of the design. I can get a hint. Here is a recent item I made for her that was inspired by her favorite manga Happy [...] I’ve created a tutorial over at Instructables, showing how to make these decorative and functional pattern weights. I hope you enjoy it. Before You can see some additional ‘before’ pictures at my old sewing roompage. In the picture below you can see a picture of one end of the room and a close-up of the room floor. It had this fantastically ugly vinyl tile that I believe dated from the 60′s. It was hideous. About half the floor [...] This pointy cat was made from a free pattern available over at Wee Wonderfuls. Its quite easy. The only difficult part was stuffing the extremely thin tail. I cheated and glued on the felt stripes. My three year old chose the fabric. I adore vintage apron patterns.

The picture quality is really terrible. Its difficult to photograph black-on-black pieces effectively. On the [...] Fixing the Pockets Well, I did it. I went back and remade both pocket flaps. However, instead of making both straight, I made them both uneven in the same way. I kind of preferred the way it looked. It did mean that I had to cut another suede pocket flap. The flaps will be shown [...] Finishing the Pockets I made a new pocket flap to replace the one that I didn’t like. That suede is really hard to work with.
