Making hats is my favourite thing to do with my Addi Kingsize knitting machine. At first I had a hard time finding yarn that didn't drop or skip stitches. So far I've got Bernat Premium, and the yarn I used in these projects, Bernat Satin Sparkle (Amethyst). These hats can be made for men or... Continue Reading →
This weekend I found a great sale on fabrics at Fabricville. I bought 3 huge bags of stuff 🙂 Some of what I bought was plaid flannel for more infinity scarves with hidden pockets. I made them pretty much the same as the ones I had made before, but because the fabric is much heavier... Continue Reading →
Last week I received 10 zippers in the mail that I had ordered on E Bay. So I went through some of my Pinterest boards looking for ideas to use them on. Â The first project I chose was a key chain to keep headphones in. There is a photo tutorial I used. It's very simple,... Continue Reading →
This is a paracord lighter wrap in pineapple style. I made it in blue and pink paracord I had leftover from a bracelet I had made. You can buy these colours at Michael's. The wrap was pretty easy to make, I made it over the handle of a size S crochet hook. It was a... Continue Reading →
Part 1: Sizing Patterns to Scale I remember the first time I found a free sewing pattern online. It was for a hooded bolero jacket and it changed the way I now look for patterns. I couldn't believe someone would put a free pattern online for people to print and have. I needed more! After printing... Continue Reading →
I made this pillowcase back in April. I was at the fabric store, at the checkout, when I seen this fuzzy, super soft material in the marked down remnants bin. I picked it up, loved it, thought, "I could use this to make a blanket", then I realized was very likely not going to make... Continue Reading →
Last week I've been super busy making hoodies. I made three, one for myself and two to sell at craft fairs. The only problem is I've made the pattern myself and I have no idea how to upload it. When I figure it out I'll post it for free. I looked everywhere for a free... Continue Reading →
This shirt is called the Twist Front Top. You can find the free pattern and instructions at So Sew Easy. I made mine in a size small but I used a serger so there wan't really any seam allowance. It was a little too big for me so I took it in where I had... Continue Reading →
Today I made this long sleeve shirt. It is size small but I made it from a super stretchy knit fabric so it can fit medium or probably even large. I found the free pattern at Nap Time Creations. I think I'm going to make a bunch of these. I printed the pattern, taped the... Continue Reading →
Last night I made  a beanie for a work friend. I had already made a few back in the fall for people I work with, but I had to make one more. I used this free pattern but changed up the sizes a little. Also, I added a band of fleece around the bottom so... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I made an infinity scarf with a hidden pocket in it. It's a great place to keep your phone or wallet or whatever. Now I need to think of a place to hide things in the summer. You will need: Fabric for scarf 65" x 30", or however big you want your scarf to... Continue Reading →
This my most popular creation yet. Well, in a cat's opinion. I can't even finish these toys before my cat is trying to play with it. I have to hide the balls that I make to sell because my cat would try to play with all of them. Every cat I give them to goes... Continue Reading →
