A crafty little atelier in a grey city

a hideout of her own…

November 14, 2012

Just a quick note today – I am still sick. Very soon, when I feel normal again, I’m making K a little tee pee/hideout. I hope I can get it done before Christmas. I’m inspired by these above and want one for myself. I especially love the very plain white one with the sheepskin (of course). Who doesn’t love a nifty enclosure where you can gather all your petite treasures and prized books for a super secret siesta?

    Oh Sanae, I hope you feel better soon! My husband and I have been talking about creating a tent for Lala and I can’t wait to see what you create!

    Sad you’re not feeling well:( May the icky-ness pass soon and you’re feeling much better:)
    I made my daughter a teepee last year for Christmas using yards and yards of IKEA fabric . . . not nearly as much fun as garment sewing. I commend you on your intentions – may they result in a beautiful place for your daughter to call her own:)

      Cheers to icky-ness passing! I think I’m almost there. IKEA fabric is such a good idea – I believe they have some cute stripey fabric….hmmmm ideas….

The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing enthusiasts: zippers. Now that I have a few years of sewing under my belt I’m less cowed by them, but there’s something about long, separating zippers that still makes me nervous. I powered through, however, and made this versatile twill hooded jacket originating from a @patterncouture_ zip-up hoodie pattern meant for knit fabrics that I modified a lot. I blogged about it! Link in bio if you’d like to see the different versions I created. 

To skip zippers altogether and make a truly summery garment, swipe and check out my NEW @creativebug Tiered Dress class (link also in bio!). Back to sewing more hot weather stuff because I’m going to Japan for a special trip next week! 🇯🇵🇯🇵
