The next episode of White Threads FlossTube has been uploaded. In this episode, I show you how to mount embroidery into a rectangular pendant bezel. For those of you reading this by email, you can find the video at https://youtu.be/R1MlGkoeppg Episode notes: Vetty Creations products mentioned in the video: Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway […] The Reader has recently finished her secondary schooling. For many schools in Australia, it is customary to celebrate this achievement with a “formal”. This is usually a formal dinner/dance probably much like a prom in America. At some schools, parents also attend, but at my daughter’s school and the one I attended, it is for […] I had a couple of deliveries this week. It’s always fun to get parcels! The Dovo Hardanger scissors (which I sold the last of at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair) are now back in stock. And finally, I again have all sizes of the Klass and Gessmann wooden hoops with stands back in […] As you may remember, The Reader and I did a pattern drafting course over a couple of years.

(Yes, that […] I’ve done heaps on my jacket over the weekend, and I have put heaps of thought into the fastening quandry. First I put the front and back bodice pieces together and the front and back neck facings. I was very happy with the way the fabric patterning matched up across the panels. Using safety pins, […] For the CIAM patternmaking course that I have been taking over the last year, one of the requirements is to make a fully lined jacket, drafted from your own pattern (of course!) A few weeks ago I finally came up with a sketch of what I wanted to make, having been mulling it over for […] Yesterday I spent much of my day designing tiny little pretty embroideries.
