Jehanne hooded capelet: progress report

Posted: Sunday, February 13th, 2011 @ 6:10 pm in Crochet, Sewing, chezPlum Patterns, matryoshka | No Comments »

The hood for the long-awaited adult version of the Ermeline is now done, and I reaaaaally like it. Especially when worn loose on your back. (sorry, couldn’t take any decent pics)

It’s actually so pretty I thought of getting directly into the cardigan version, except I don’t have enough of that red yarn to [...]

It’s freezing cold these days (yet still no snow at all!) and a little walk with my SIL was a good occasion to snap some pics of my new hat this week-end:

My Girouette slouchy hat looked very pretty on her. The pattern is in the final testing phase, then I’ll add it to the [...]

Never thought I’d like it slouchy

Posted: Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010 @ 4:59 pm in Crochet, FO, Sewing | 1 Comment »

Slouchy hats have blossomed everywhere lately, and I always thought Bah, not for me.
Then my sil asked if I could make her one. Of course, I love hints on what they’d like for Xmas. :-)
During our little shopping outing earlier this week, I saw a Phildar store in Grand’Place, and of course “had to look”. [...]

New fabric, new hat

Posted: Tuesday, December 21st, 2010 @ 3:09 pm in Sewing, matryoshka | No Comments »

Yesterday we went in town with Plume, did a tad of Xmas shopping (just a couple things tho, as I don’t do many gifts and most of them are handmade). One of the goals of this outing was to buy sewing thread, elastic band and polyfill (which of course we forgot, ooops!). Oh. And have [...]

Under the needle

Imagine piles of fabrics and ribbons on the dining table… I am working on a few (last-minute as always, had no time before!) presents for the family. I love the part when you mix the fabrics and see what will work well together. :-P
Any fun (& crafty!) plans during those holidays in [...]

Another first : Xmas market

Last sunday we had a table with my friend (she’s a photographer, come see one of her expos if you’re around !) at the local Xmas market. It was my first market ever, and slightly intimidating: I still don’t know that many people around but felt like a coming-out “Hello, I am a [...]

First sewing workshop :-)

Posted: Monday, November 29th, 2010 @ 12:21 pm in Sewing, french, worshop | No Comments »

On saturday we had our first sewing workshop, together with a few friends to “test the waters”: I was surprised to see it actually took us nearly 3 hours to have everyone finish their first pad. And with none of them being an expert sewist, more attention was needed from me at each [...]

I made a treasury list on Etsy: I loooooove Matryoshkas ! :-)

Which leads to showing you a glimpse of the 2 skirts I made lately… More on those later. :-)
