I ended up having more of a KCW fortnight than a week and emerged with another two pairs of trousers for Stashlet and that Casual Lady dress you saw me grumping in the other day (not very KWC admittedly). I used Blank Slate Patterns' Coastal Cargos pattern and based on... Continue reading

Despite the fact that I'm not that big on granny squares, I had a phase a few years ago where I was frantically crochetting them at every opportunity but without any thought out goal in mind. I think it was pre-Stashlet and I was planning to have a girl (ha!... Continue reading

So then. More trousers. These cord trousers are a remake of a pair I made about 6 months ago that were so horribly baggy they got worn once and pushed to the back of the drawer. I unpicked them and laid Dana's pattern (the flat front version) out over the... Continue reading

Oh dear. It would appear that I am even more tired and stressed than I think I am. All that work for Kids Clothes Week back in March.... and I've just discovered that I got my dates TOTALLY wrong and it's this month. Talk about STOOPID. But that does explain... Continue reading

Added 10-04-03: I got my dates wrong but feel free to read on... It's been rather a frantic week here at Stash Towers so despite remembering on Tuesday that I should be sewing, it took until Friday for me to actually get anything done for Kids Clothes Week. So the... Continue reading

Hello! It's Show and Tell Tuesday. Seems I'm a bit late to the party with this pattern as it's been out for a couple of years now. I decided in the autumn that I needed a skirt that was not particularly flare-y but something that I would be able to... Continue reading

It's Show and Tell Tuesday, so because I have those placemats to finish, I've been making hats... Stashlet had a lovely stripey (basic beanie-type) hat that he managed to throw overboard when we were out with the buggy last week (and despite two retraces of my steps, it was not... Continue reading
