Sewing – fiber and sustenance

Making Miscellany: 1

Hi friends! Long time no see, and apologies if you tried to stop by here earlier this month and found it in disarray … a hiccup with my WordPress renewal sent things off kilter. I’m still in the process of getting things back into shape! But I’m popping in today to share that I’ve started something a bit new, a monthly meander through my makes, called the Making Miscellany, over on Substack. I have perpetual hopes of making more time for this space, but I felt like I needed something a bit new and distinct … it’s (as you’ll see below) a monthly round up of the stuff I’m making and thinking about. In the short term, I’ll republish the Miscellanies over here, but if you like them, perhaps you’d like to join my mailing list over on Substack? It’s totally free and the monthly emails will land in your inbox the last Thursday of the month. And with that … on with the Miscellany!

Sewing Journal 6: All Well Cardigan Coat

It’s been a season of very slow making around these parts. And while I’d be lying if I said I haven’t at times felt frustrated that projects and plans I thought would be long accomplished still remain in various stages of undone-ness, it has meant I’ve started being really intentional in choosing projects to spend limited time and energy on. And I think that has to be a good thing!

Sewing Journal 5: Hinterland Dress

One day, maybe in the not too distant future, I’ll get back to writing a blog that isn’t just an occasional report on something I finished. But today is not that day. Today is a day I squee gleefully about a sewing project that has been a long time in the making.

Sewing Journal 2: Striped Jersey Top

Today, I chat about the Gable Top, made using Guthrie & Ghani’s Sewing Society Kit.

Happy Tuesday! Today, I’ve got another little sewing journal to share with you (I promise, some knitting content will return soon). Fresh off the sewing machine, this is the Gable Top, made with a Guthrie & Ghani Sewing Society kit.

Sewing Journal 1: Shirt No. 1

Hello friends! It’s been awhile and all that! How have you been? I’m still knitting whenever I get the chance, but over the past few months I’ve also been playing around with a new hobby: sewing! I’ve really enjoyed the focus and concentration that comes with learning something new, and I thought doing some short sewing journals might be a nice way to document that process and (maybe) revive this space a bit.
