scarf 1

scarf
Made this scarf sometime in June (or maybe May? I can't remember!) The French General 'Rural Jardin' fabric I used is so nice and light and soft! It's perfect for a spring/summer/fall scarf (I'm so glad I brought this with me to Scotland. Saved me from the freezing temperatures in Edinburgh.) The ends were finished with some cotton lace trim from Mokuba. I wasn't sure how to finish the corners with the loose trim so I used Liberty of London Fairford to bind the corners. I think it worked pretty well. And I love all these colours together. The scarf measures approximately half a meter by two meters.

welcome home ebs!

Went to pick up a few meters of this awesome Liberty of London ebs print fabric at the workroom a few days ago. I can't wait to make a dress out of it.

random stuff

Went to the workroom last night to get a fat quarter (or 20) to finish the straps of a dress I made on Labour Day. Time well spent (on both counts). I don't have a bias tape maker at home, so it took a lot less time to make my straps at the workroom. I can't tell you how amazing it is to use one. Ah.

I love using this cute cup to hold my thread.

I also made a new camera strap cover a few weeks ago (while having a Doctor Who marathon - on in the background) when I got tired of my Joel Dewberry woodgrain one. It's also a better fit. My old one kept slipping.

Liberty of London looks so happy.

Unrelated, I got this pocket watch necklace in Kyoto. Apparently it was made by some local artists who work at the store. It reminds me of a Time Lord's watch. Well, the back does anyway. I would like to be a Time Lord.
