cheeky panties by emily kate

Hi there,
I thought I would share with you my new underwear!
I have never made underwear before but thought it would be nice to have some underwear to match my clothes.




I downloaded a FREE pattern from Burda Style website.
The pattern is super easy to make and super fast - just over an hour (it was my first attempt so I took it slow)

I used my overlocker for the seams and for attaching the picot elastic.
Then turned the elastic to the inside and zig zagged the edge from the front.
The leg openings look a little stretched but when worn this doesn't show at all.

I have worn them now and they are very comfortable, I will certainly be making some more!

Thanks for visiting

Assassin's Creed Inspired Coat

Image
My youngest son wanted a coat in a similar style seen in Assassin's Creed, but wanted it to be everyday wearable and not too much a dressing up costume. This McCalls costume pattern was a good starting point.  We decided to concentrate on the coat and maybe add on a hood at a later date as we hadn't found a satisfactory pattern. I am not sure of the blue fabric content of the outside of the coat, it's a a twill weave that is quite soft so I think it may have wool in it.  I washed it before sewing but it shrunk slightly. The first part was to make a toile of the bodice.  We used cheap dust sheeting from Poundland (it was ok but probably won't use it again, I prefer calico or old sheeting) .  The stand up collar was heightened as the original was very low, very easy to do as just needed to add a few centimetres on the top of the pattern piece. The original front facings were extended out to make the crossover front panels and then duplicated to make the in

embroidered mobile phone cover

Image
Hi, hope you are having a lovely weekend. At last I have made a cover for my mobile phone, I've been meaning to make one for so long but never got round to it. I 'upcycled' my son's denim shorts for this project. The front is embroidered with Sulky variegated thread. The embroidery is a thread tattoo by Urban Threads.  they have great embroideries and freebies too! This is a great way to use up scraps - I lined the cover with a piece of leftover gingham too! The tab is a belt loop from the shorts. Thanks for visiting Jolanda x

A New Bag For London Trip

Image
Bag for London  A trip to London requires a new bag doesn't it? I fancied a bit making something using a logo from Depeche Mode from A broken Frame album.  First of all, I drew the shape in Illustrator and imported it into Husqvarna Viking 3D embroidery software.  Its a bit ancient but does the job! For the bag flap I made an applique design and left it rough on the edges as the logo represents a scythe and a sheaf of wheat.  By making the border stitches quite narrow it allowed some strands from the fabric to stick out. I also copied the logo into the Fabric Decorator module to make the lining. The bag strap was my first attempt at a continuous embroidery.  Its quite difficult to line up using an ordinary hoop - I definitely need practice with this or maybe stretch to buying a continuous/endless hoop. The end product! a very useful cross body bag just big enough for the essentials
