I made the reindeer add-on for an advent calendar gift for my girls, and they were honestly a joy to make--I enjoyed them even in a time crunch with other holiday projects breathing down my neck and a thousand interruptions from my baby. Great scrapbuster! I used scraps of both woven and knit and interlined with a thin fleece for warmth. As I didn't have a good marking tool that would show up for the antlers, I actually handstitched those and they came out fine (although turning out the loosely woven wool was fiddly, and I'd use a tighter weave next time). I cut a hook and loop zip tie into smaller segments and used that for the chin strap closure instead of the bulkier velcro I had on hand, and it worked great. That's all to say that this is a flexible pattern that can withstand a lot of different fabrics and substitutions! I couldn't get a very good photo, but I absolutely adore them. I sewed name tapes into the interior back seams because I know the girls will want to wear these to school this December :) Twig & Tale patterns are some of the best-written I've ever made; they're so much more pleasurable than many other sewing projects I take on.
Oh my goodness I loved every step of making two animal jackets for my nephew and daughter. The directions are great, just don’t forget to leave a hole in the lining for turning out. I love the way the hood and lining are attached, to reduce the chances of the lining rolling out. Overall these were such a joy to make, I will absolutely make another! Thank you!
I sewed the hood for my son, using the free reindeer add on. So cute! Easy to sew, and comfy. Uncycled a thrifted blanket and flannel shirt.
I made my wearable toile from a king single double sided quilt/duvet cover. I did a simple V neck and ommited the collar/hood. I'm short and big chested so did the full bust adjustment and shortened it a lot. I did not line the sleeves as I wanted something lighter to throw on after swimming and in summer evenings.
Got a request for warm winter dresses. Flannel Fable to the rescue. Flamingoes are lined with bemberg, and Lemons lined in bamboo. These were really happy sews, and my Grand loves wearing them!
