Hardanger shirt project from “Early-Style Hardanger” One of the things I’m trying to do in my newer books is encourage people to wear their embroidery. I did a pattern drafting course a few years ago so that I could learn to draft my own patterns. In this book, there is a shirt with […] As you may remember, The Reader and I did a pattern drafting course over a couple of years. Recently, we visited Cabramatta in Sydney, where there are a good number of fabric shops. We each purchased some fabric for a dress from Sogo Fabric (in my opinion, Sogo always has the best fabric in Cabramatta). […] “Nisser” designed by Tina Vejlø Andersen, and knitted by me. I read an article this morning on how knitting is good for you. Of course, I think we can extrapolate based on what is in the article, that needlework and any form of repetitive craft can be good for you too. The article […] When I was in Copenhagen, I visited a couple of fabric-y, embroidery-y type stores. I had done a bit of investigating beforehand and had marked a map with places I thought that I might like to visit. All textiley, design type shops. The first day we arrived in Copenhagen was a Sunday. Of course all […] Well, after a long process that proceeded quite well but slowly, I completed the Hardanger lampshade for the book. I photographed it in my daughter’s room after she helpfully cleaned off her desk for me. (Thank you The Reader!) And with the completion of the lampshade, that brings to an end the sewing and embroidery […] While this is not the lampshade embroidery, it’s another one I damp stretched yesterday. I’ve realised over the past few weeks that I am absolutely terrible at estimating how much time something is going to take me to do. Otherwise I would have finished my book months and months ago, and you’d already […] From https://www.flickr.com/photos/katemonkey/5665916936. Used under Creative Commons 2.0 licence. My husband went to a library conference this week, and as part of that, he visited The Edge (part of the State Library of Queensland). He and fellow conference participants had a tour of the facility, which he found really inspiring. He’s just told me […] Today is World Embroidery Day! The initiative for World Embroidery Day came from Skåne Sy-d, a local group of Broderiakademin, the Swedish Embroiderer’s Guild. The first World Embroidery Day took place in Vismarlöv, 30th July 2011. They feel that the importance of embroidery must be made known so that World Embroidery Day will spread around […] Recently I’ve had a few days of finishing projects off for “Early-Style Hardanger”. Last week I finished the blouse – although I still have to sew on the buttons. Today I constructed the biscornu. I discovered that while silk satin fabric is gorgeous, when it is flimsy, it’s very hard to work with to […] Today I have the pleasure of showing you the first image of a new set of products I’ll be unveiling at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at White Bay in June. I’ve been working on these little pendants for a little while now, following the success of the pendant project in “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: […] |
