My weekend. Finished knitting my Ezra Vest last My weekend. Finished knitting my Ezra Vest last night whilst watching the Tour de France, so blocked it this morning. Now sewing myself a needle case for my knitting needles as a test run for one I want to make a friend. Tomorrow in the garden and maybe behind the sewing machine again. #ezravest #tdf #sewing #knitting crafts #curatedandmade #handcrafted #handmade #knittersofinstagram #sewersofinstagram

Even though they were only vinyl, it's not the point. We will eventually recover them in leather. Maybe. #squidthecat #raptor #shredded #bastardcat
I could get use to this. Taken the day off. Been I could get use to this. Taken the day off. Been to the gym, fluffed around the house now doing a spot of knitting on the couch. We are then driving to Canberra as I have a podiatry appointment and will do a bit of shopping beforehand. Retirement? Bring it on. #knitting #knittingaddict #yarnlover #handcrafted #handmade #knitters #knittersofinstagram #yarn #blackwattleyarn #blackwattleyarnandfibre
1. Amsterdam Dress So I have finished my first ga 1. Amsterdam Dress So I have finished my first garment from The Masterclass offered by the Tailor Academy. They are a family tailors in Austria that goes back generations. I decided to gift myself their course to improve my sewing and as well as learning tailoring techniques. What did I learn from this dress? 1. Three thread overlocking! How have I never been told about this on edges. I have always done 4 thread but this is so much better. 2. The use of iron-on edge tape - soooo much better than stay stitching - I will never go back to that. 3. How to adjust your pattern by using different sizes instead of using layered patterns. Yes it is a bit more paper as you have to cut out two sizes but it's a new skill! 4. It is OK to make mistakes - go back and fix them and don't dwell on them. This fabric is stuff I had in my stash and I used it as the sacrificial lamb. It doesn't fit in some places but this was about the sewing (plus it isn't a style I wear). Next the Berlin Skirt. #amsterdamdres #tailoracademy #handsewing #handcrafted #sewing #sewist #sewersofinstagram #curatedandmade #sewist #tailoring #tailor

A cold day here in Goulburn so a good time to sit and finish it off. #amsterdamdres #tailoracademy #handsewing #handcrafted #sewing #sewist #sewersofinstagram #curatedandmade #sewing
Who knew? I have just discovered overlocking with Who knew? I have just discovered overlocking with 3 threads. It is so much nicer than 4 thread with none of the bulk. Finally started on the Tailor Academy masterclass course - Unit 1, the Amsterdam dress. Been awhile since I have been behind the machine! #tailoracademy #amsterdamdress #tailoring #sewing #tailoringtraining #sewersofinstagram #tailorsofinstagram

There are some walking onions in the background that I was gifted by a permie friend. Now to mulch them. #goulburnnsw #southerntablelands #countryliving #countrylife #gardening #regionalnsw #lifeinthecountry #garlic #onion #vegetablegardening #vegetablegardener

Was hoping to go on the zip line but missed out (should have prebooked) - oh well. Still - it was magic. #otwayfly #otwaytreetops #aussiebush #aussieforest #aussierainfrest #otway #otwaytreetopwalk
Cadadh. I am heading up to Sydney for a week to p Cadadh. I am heading up to Sydney for a week to play nurse to my son after he has an operation on Monday. So I am taking this opportunity to pack some knitting to fill in the hours, so getting in a swatch. I am determined to use only my stash where I can so I am using up this delicious Viola DK yarn that is now no longer available. I originally knitted a scarf for one of my sisters and loved it so much that I bought another lot to knit myself one. She has returned the scarf as where she lives isn't cold enough for it but where I live is. So I am knitting up myself a wrap from Kate Davies - Cadad and using this yarn. . Cadadh is an old Scottish Gaelic word for a simple plaid cloth. . #knitting #knittingaddict #yarnlover #handcrafted #handmade #knitters #knittersofinstagram #yarn #katedaviesdesigns #cadadhwrap #cadadhwrap #viola
