Alright, who needs a hug? 🤗 Because the beautiful Miraflores shawl is full of that snuggle energy, ready to ship straight to your door. Knit in incredibly bulky and deliciously soft Malabrigo Rasta and shown crowd-fav colorway "Arco Iris", you'll have a warm cozy shawl knit up in no time. The pattern includes links to tutorials so you can feel confident tackling unfamiliar techniques. I can’t even describe how soft and cozy this shawl is... it’s utter heaven. I find it weirdly the perfect weight...blankety without being suffocatingly hot, and with a calming weight (it weighs over a POUND!!!). #winteriscoming so brace yourselves and get stitchin’! ☕️ Each Kit Contains:4 skeins of Malabrigo Rasta ($33 each) 1 pair of US 15 - 10.0 mm interchange needle with 40”+ (100 cm) cable ($19) 1 Miraflores Pattern ($15): https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miraflores-shaw This design is really all about celebrating "the journey is the destination". While in the Baja, Mexico, I spotted the name “Miraflores” on the map, and so wanted to visit a town that I thought translated as “See the flowers”. I dropped stitches swatching at every bump down the desert roads. We arrived in a cozy Mexican town with very, very few flowers, but the drive home was full of laughter, and beautiful vistas. I loved the broken “mistake” motif, and knit up the shawl on the beach. Just want the shawl right meow? I'd be happy to knit you up one for an additional fee. This will take approximately 8 weeks to produce.

If you're going to get gangster this winter, may we recommend a more modern hat profile than the huge things on Sunday's episode?

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get back into the daily routine of sewing since coming back from vacation. I mean, it's been over ...

With a classic 50s-inspired true slash neckline, a long-line body for extra comfort and three different sleeve options, The Gable Top will become your new favourite go-to knit top pattern. Gable is perfect for wearing all year round – layered with dresses and cardigans on chilly mornings or worn on its own with 3/4 skinny jeans or a high waisted skirt à la Audrey in spring. Gable is a stylish weekend basic that can be easily dressed up and added to your office outfit rotation. Made with comfy stretch knits, Gable is a quick and easy sew that doesn't use much fabric and turns out perfectly every time. A modern take on a timeless and elegant basic. The idea for Gable has been floating around in my head for a long time. I love knit tops and since releasing Bronte all that time ago, I knew I needed to revisit the world of knits again. They're so easy, so quick and so satisfying to make and wear. Gable is a true slash-neckline top, which basically means it sits at a 90-degree angle straight across the neckline from the inner shoulders. If you love the style, but aren't a fan of necklines sitting up so high, don't worry, I talk about how to alter the height of the neckline in the pattern instructions and will be doing a little tutorial for you as well. Speaking of tutorials, I'll be popping a few up on the ol' blog over the coming weeks – want an even more retro-style Gable? I'll show you how to alter the pattern for 3/4 sleeves (it's a super easy adjustment!). Not sure about sewing with knits? I have lots of in-depth posts already about knit fabrics and sewing them on your sewing machine (as I did with all of my Gable tops!) but I'll be writing a bit more about the process so that you can feel relaxed knowing that you'll come out with a beautiful garment at the end. Gable is really quick to make, for both newbies and advanced seamstresses alike. Plus, she's elegant as heck you guys! You can't put one on and not feel a little like you tried to look nice that day (even though you really didn't because there are crumbs all over the floor, you have greasy hair and it's freezing outside so it's a pj bottom and slippers kinda day). I have a black one that I wear all the time; in fact, I went out on Saturday night for the first time since before Oscar was born (for a crazy wild night of dessert with a lovely bunch of ladies) and it was a perfect choice with a wool Felicity skirt and the freezing temperatures of the weekend (we've had snow! And more is forecast for the end of the week). If you have any questions or anything specific you'd like covered in a tutorial, do let me know. Otherwise, I can't wait to see your Gable tops! xx J Shop Patterns . Instagram . Newsletter . Facebook . Pinterest .

I have been admiring the Atomic Starburst quilt by Violet Craft for a long time. It has very pointy paper piecing, which I do enjoy from time to time. I decided to make a version for my Starstruck Island Batik Ambassador challenge. The challenge was meant to be published in September. I almost made it.

I guess it's only fair that I start this post by apologizing for the photo overload. I finally managed to use the camera remote I bought a couple weeks ago, so I finally have photos where I'm actually in focus against a blurry background! I'm so happy about it that I had some trouble editing down. The fact that I'm quite in love with the dress I'm wearing didn't help either. Did you recognize the pattern? It's the Chloe dress from Victory Patterns, which I've been dying to make ever since seeing Lizz's version. I used some gabardine in this gorgeous shade of purple that really compliments my super pale skin. I had never worked with gabardine and this bastard was such a pain to press. It just won't lie flat (as you can see from the bumpy binding at the neckline and armholes) and press marks seem to magically appear everywhere, even using a press cloth. I even managed to find purple flower shaped buttons. Aren't they adorable? I initially wanted black and white contrasting buttons, but when I saw these ones, I couldn't resist. The fit of the pattern was... well, strange. I didn't make a muslin, so I fitted the dress before sewing the lining. For the second time in a row, I had issues with armscyes. They were so low! Luckily the problem was easily solved by shortening the shoulder seam. I also took the waist in a little, in order to make the dress more form-fitting. Finally, a few detail shots: the welt pockets have a snap to keep them closed. And yes, the fabric I used for the pockets is not the same I used for the lining. The horror! My OCD self couldn't sleep at the thought, but I came to terms with that. As you might have noticed, I opted for a lapped zipper at the center back. It's my favorite technique, I think it looks so elegant! And instead of an hook and eye at the top, I put a button with a thread button loop. I had the confirmation this dress looks good on me when my mother, who is usually very supportive but hyper-critical about my sewing, told me that I should wear it at my graduation. Great! I still have to write my dissertation, but at least I already know what to wear at the ceremony!

Can you believe that it's already time for row 2 of the Bee in my Bonnet Row Along? Well it is...so let's get rowing!!! This row is cute and easy butterflies:) Sew the white strips onto the top and the bottom of the butterfly body fabric using an accurate 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seam allowance towards the background. Make sure that you keep your lines straight by checking your ruler lines before cutting. Okay!... wasn't that easy? You have all of the center strips in your blocks complete and ready for wings. Now for the easy corner triangles on the wings. If you don't have an Angler 2 on your machine....you will need to mark a line from corner to corner onto the wrong side (if there is a wrong side) of each of your background squares. Use a ruler and a mechanical pencil for a thin straight line. Make one complete butterfly block so that you can check for accuracy before you make the remaining 10 butterflies. Start by placing a white square onto each inside corner of the wings. Line up the edges and corners of the squares with the edges and corners of the wings exactly even. Make sure that your marked line is going the correct direction so that when you stitch...you end up with the desired shape. Stitch one at a time directly onto your line that has been marked from corner to corner. Do not pin...as it will distort the shape. Just hold the square carefully in it's place as you stitch. After stitching...cut off the excess and leave an approximate 1/4" seam allowance. (no need for accurate 1/4" seam here...it has already been stitched!) Press the seam allowance towards the white triangles like this. Now you still have 2 rectangles but you have replaced the 4 inside corners with a white triangle and created a wing shape!!! Nifty!!! I just love easy corner triangles:) Now sew a wing to each side of a body... one at a time... pressing each seam allowance towards the body. Your butterfly should measure the exact same size as the square that you started out with!!! (just a little bit of quilty magic:) If your first butterfly measure's correctly...and you don't have to do any adjusting... Go ahead and continue sewing the remaining butterflies. It will be faster if you chain peice each step along the way... starting with each easy corner triangle onto the same corner of each wing... trimming... pressing... and then finally sewing the wings to the bodies just exactly like your first butterfly. Yay!!!! cute butterflies!!!! Now onto the sashing for the butterfly row. Cut strips out of your background fabric. Cut off the selvedge edges...and take over to your machine to joint them into 1 long continuous strip. Always join strips on the diagonal like this. This is how I always join strips together when I need to make them longer than width of fabric for sashings and borders. By joining on the diagonal...prints and solids both look nicer on the diagonal. It is easier on the eye because your eye does not stop suddenly like it would at a straight seam...but flows easily over a diagonal joined strip. *(I don't need to mark a line on my strips because I have the Angler 2...but I marked it so that you would understand which direction to sew) This is what the back should look like after stitching. This is what the front looks like. Join all 3 strips together so that you have one long continuous strip. Trim off the excess just like when making easy corner triangles. Always press your seam allowances open when joining strips together for sashings or borders. It prevents bulk and they will lay nice and flat if you do. You will cut 2 strips out of this long one to go above the butterfly row and below like in the picture above...but for now... Just lay this long strip aside ... while you cut the sashings to go in between the butterflies and on the end of each row. Lay your butterfly row in a pleasing order for joining...making sure to notice that every other butterfly is going up and every other one is going sideways. Join your butterflies together with the sashing strips in between. Press seam allowance towards the sashings. Now sew the row ends onto each end of your row. Remember that your strip will need to measure correctly to fit into the quilt. Fold your strip in half and trim off the row ends at the measurement line on your mat...just like you did with the row one row ends. Now time to cut the 2 strips from the long continuous row. We are going to use a mat for measuring. Fold your strip in half so that you are cutting both strips at the same time... and place it at the 1" mark on your mat. *(I have 2 cutting mats and I changed to the red for this because it contrasts so nicely against the white...ensuring that I measure and cut accurately) Leave the row ends at the 1" mark and stick a pin at the 36" mark... And then lift up the rows...keeping the pin in and place that pin right on the 1" line. *(you will have 36" hanging off the left side of the pin now) Now measure in from the pin... And cut. Yay!!! You now have 2 rows that measure exactly what they need to measure to sew onto the top and bottom of your butterfly row!!! Take note that you will use this same method every time you add sashing strips to the top and bottom of a row. *(however...you will not add these to every row...I will tell you which ones to add them to as we are sewing them) Press these white rows in half to make a center mark and pin them to the center of the butterfly body in the very center of your row. Now pin the ends even on both sides of the row. Continue pinning about every 10 - 12" before sewing...easing fabric where needed while you are pinning. Never just run it through your machine and hope it all ends up even in the end... you have cut accurately... and math doesn't lie... so mathematically... it will fit... and it is your job to make it fit. Always remember... You are the boss of your quilt!!!! *(a good tip to remember is the fabric that is on the bottom when sewing...will run thru the feed dogs a little bit faster...so place the one on the bottom that might need more easing in and let the feed dogs help you) Press your seam allowance towards the white strips. Congratulations... your Bee in my Bonnet Row Along #2 is complete! A row of colorful butterflies:) I hope you like them and that you had fun making them! Do not sew row number one to row number two. I just wanted to show you what they look like together...and give you more of an idea of what your quilt will look like. It's going to be exciting to see it grow... row by row:) I hope you enjoyed your quilty lesson for the day....you are all such good students! Let me know what you think about row 2. Your sweet comments are always appreciated:) I can't wait to see all of the row 2's showing up on the BIMB Row Along Flickr Group.
