Sew a Wheat Warmer

clobbercreations — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

I had some lovely leftover fleece from making one of my niece’s a leopard print cape last Christmas, so I decided to use it to make some lavender wheat warmers for myself and others. I find wheat warmers are really useful when you feel a bit sore or stiff and I had been using a […]

Sew your own dishcloths

clobbercreations — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Recently, my mum got into making her own dishcloths to be a bit more sustainable. Also, they’re great for using up scraps of fabric you have left from other projects! This dishcloth is simple to make. It uses a bit of hessian (burlap) for one side for when you need a more abrasive side which […]

Pattern Review: The TATB Bow Blouse

clobbercreations — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 07:00:09 +0000

Today I’m sharing a pattern review of one of my #2018makenine projects! I added it to my make nine list as it’s something I began in 2017 and then abandoned when I got confused with it. However, I am so glad I persevered as it wasn’t so bad after all and it certainly stands out […]

Guitar card for Dad

clobbercreations — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 07:00:40 +0000

Recently, I made a card for my dad. He’s a big fan of music, so I decided on a guitar theme. Recently, I got some multicoloured Gutermann thread from Hobbycraft, and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to try it out. I chose to opt for a guitar outline and then machine […]

Me Made May 2017 – reflections

clobbercreations — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 17:10:21 +0000

May flew by (although that seems to be my reflection every month..) and another me made May has finished. This year, I pledged to wear at least one handmade garment every day. I am pleased to say that I did manage my pledge, and my sew my style makes have been key participants! As always, […]

The £2.50 Dress

clobbercreations — Sat, 13 May 2017 17:00:18 +0000

I went to my mum’s house with the intention of making a pattern from an old dress I have of hers (which is at risk of disintegrating as it’s been worn so many times!) but I ended up nabbing one of her most recent charity shop pattern purchases and cutting out the pieces to make […]

#sewmystyle – April – Bridgetown dress

clobbercreations — Sun, 07 May 2017 11:04:10 +0000

Once again, I found myself blundering out of another month without a completed project for #sewmystyle. My flaw in April was that I completely forgot to prewash the fabric until the day I chose to cut out the pieces. I ended up washing it while I cut out pieces for another project on my list, […]

The Walkley Dress

clobbercreations — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 15:10:45 +0000

While on a bit of a dressmaking roll, I decided to delve back into the realm of knit fabrics. Having only made one successful garment with knit, I decided that I wanted to keep the pattern as simple as possible. The simple question for this project was The Walkley Dress by Wendy Ward MIY. This […]
