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….

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. I’ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and I’m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, I’ve noticed that there’s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: I’ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! 💙💙💙💙💙
