Community Cast Video Day 34
Today’s video some chat and a look at inspiration pincushions.
The design for the flag pincushion in Berlin work I showed is here as a pdf.
Here is the pinwheel-esque pincushion progress.
I realized when I got the pieces together, that this could make an awesome patchwork quilt. A bunch of fun spinny stripes? I am also seeing Christmas ornament potential… And stuffed Christmas trees.

Today is millinery chat for Millinery Monday.
*Note: The channel I am watching Belgravia on is only free until April 19th. It looks like I will just get 2 episodes.
**Note: I mentioned starting a Facebook album for projects. After the video, it occured to me people may prefer a FB group. What are your thoughts?

Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
Today we make the pin pocket I shared yesterday.
A guide to the feather stitch is here.
Additional photos to come as I finish….
Community Cast Video Day 29
Today’s video introduces a pin pocket project.
Post video note: In the video I said I would use batting. After cutting all the pieces, I decided this would be too bulky for my fulled wool. My new recommendation is to Not us batting with medium weight or fulled wool. Batting may be desired with tropical weight wool.
Materials to gather:
- Silk – cut to 9″×4.5″ (or a pretty cotton, a floral stripe would be great.
- Wool – cut to 9″×4.5″
- Optional – thin batting – cut to 9″×4.5″
- 50 inches of 1/2″ to 5/8″ to 3/4″ wide ribbon
- Embroidery floss
*You can adjust measurements to suit your needs and fabric. Remember to adjust the size of all layers and the length of the ribbon.
Community Cast Video Day 28
Today’s video is mostly chat covering one of Clara’s favorite things, two things I use for my hands and wrists, tips on how to shrink my ballon style bag to doll size, and an introduction to Don’t Paint the Cat, one of my other blogs.
Wow. This wraps up 4 weeks of videos. These four weeks are bit of a fog for me. (I just deleted a bunch of sad reality stuff.)
I’ve been keeping a log of what I’ve made:
- 1860 hat
- 1880 hat
- 2 thread balls
- Regency bonnet
- 3 pen wipers
- 1860 hat
- Silk “poppins” bag
- Cotton stripe bag
- 3 simple pockets
- Petite brim hat
- Dome style hat – Chapeaux cloche
- 2 apples, 2 chilis
- Stripe bag Clara decided should be a cat cave
- Mousquetaire hat
- 1860 bonnet #1
- Spool holder
- Doll body for patriotic doll
- Wool petticoat in progress
- A couple masks as required
I’ve decided I want to do a gallery of projects from viewers. If you’ve made one of the projects from the videos, I would love to show them off.
