light as a cloud

15/03/201619/03/2016 Carolynsewing33 Comments on light as a cloud

I’ve made a softly floaty blouse  🙂  of course just as summer is on the way out… o no, wait, actually summer is over! However we’re still getting days of 40C.  Not that I’m complaining, mind you.  I love the warmth!  Only thing is…

black Oxford shoes, with pinking

10/03/201619/03/2016 Carolynsewing, shoes, Uncategorized32 Comments on black Oxford shoes, with pinking

I’ve made another pair of shoes.  They’re a bit shonky, dodgy and clutsy, and clearly home-made, particularly those rough n’ ready heels, but y’know what?  I LOVE THEM!!! Pattern; classic Oxford shoe style, drafted by myself; my tutorial for drafting your…

Hello!  I’ve made some more shoes!  floral sneakers. Now, I have to admit; they may look kinda superficially cute at a distance, however close up they’re a bit of a fail.  I’m considering them a wearable fail though, since they’re all stuck together firm…

I’ve made a couple of pairs of thongs!  They’re pretty basic; I was just kind of mucking about.  Each pair took me just a few hours each.  Anyway, I actually made them back in December, immediately thought oh god how ridiculous…

a shearling jacket

07/02/201607/02/2016 Carolynsewing34 Comments on a shearling jacket

As sneaky-peeked previously; my shearling jacket, and man, I’m so happy with it!!  It turned out just exactly how I hoped, and was the most wonderfully cuddliest, comfiest thing to have with me in our recent visit to Japan; I loved bundling up in it each…

This new dress is the latest step in my current project to add some architectural whimsy to Cassie’s work wardrobe …. and it was barely off the machine when she wanted to wear it to work straight away, like the next day, meaning today!   I took these…
