A Tale of three Akitas

October 31, 2015October 31, 2015bellecitadel 1 Comment

This Akita top is actually the first item I finished sewing, but I wanted to add a fabric paint motif, which took me a little longer to get sorted. I think it looks better with it, so I’m glad I went for it in the end (I confess I was slightly worried it would go horribly wrong and wreck the top). Continue reading “A Tale of three Akitas” →

I've done so little sewing in 2022, but thought I would post my #topnine2022 nevertheless! The central photo says it all. We packed up in January and left Washington State in March, after deciding it was the right time to move back to Scotland, at least for a while :)
I'm a sucker for shirtdresses, so when I saw the new Seamwork Porter shirtdress, it jumped straight to the top of my queue. I also pictured it right away in this kelly green Cotton + Steel rayon. I reckon it will be perfect for Christmas festivities!
Last minute Halloween costumes for Julie and I! I was really pleasantly surprised by the amount of houses and trick or treaters. Yay Perth!! The boys had great fun.
I thought I'd posted this, but apparently not, so here it is for posterity. This was another class I took at QuiltCon and, as you can see, it was a Foundation Paper Piecing class: FPP Bootcamp with @quiltallthethings_
I finished a SWEATERRRR!!! Actually, I finished it a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing it pretty much non-stop. It's the Carbeth sweater by Kate Davies and it's so cosy in this @westyorkshirespinners Re: treat chunky yarn. It's a little bobbly, but I quite like the fuzzy halo this yarn brings to the party.
After several years of successfully avoiding Covid, I finally succumbed and spent a bit of September in bed. So I'm just now catching up with the #miniseriessal2022, hosted by @alisonglass and @giucy_giuce. It consists of 12 teeny weeny blocks with teeny weeny piecing and it's been fun to get stuck in (seam ripper for scale... and, y'know... errors).
