Autumn collars. I started this tutorial back in late September, right before things got really crazy with The Move, and never got sufficient “finished project shots”. Now that I’ve finally gotten that taken care of, I can share it with y’all! I think this is a great way to update a the neckline of various garments any time of year, but always seems especially fun to do during the winter. (Especially if you’re partial to plaids and lush velveteens–these work especially well!) This little project is a quick (it took me about 1/2 hour) and easy accessory you can make, based on the fur collar pattern I shared last year. Supplies 1/3 yard (or scraps!) Begin by printing off the collar pattern found here. Cut the following with the collar pattern: two fashion fabric, on interfacing. On one of the fashion fabric collar pieces, fold in half. Attach the interfacing to the upper collar (the one not trimmed) wrong side, following the manufacturer’s directions for fusible.

Retro Revival. Thelongthread.com. Allorahandmade.com. Eclectic whatnot. Sewing Projects. First of all, thank you girls for following my blog reanimation...I am slow, but definitely catching up! :D This post shall be a big homage to the girls of BY HAND LONDON. I have been following their start up from the very beginning and as the very first patterns were finished, Elisalex contacted me and asked, whether I would like to try one or even both of their patterns...I was totally excited and asked for both of them. Very feminine shapes on both Elisalex dress, as well as Charlotte skirt, made me fell in love with those two at once. Then, as you know,...ahhh...so much to do and such few time for sewing made me pause with my passion for months. I found this wonderful fabric from Anna Maria Horner for Free Spirit (cotton voile).

Anyway, with full trust in the two ladies and due to only few sewing time, I opted to go for this dress without muslin. I also added a waistband to lengthen the bodice. Nevertheless, this is not too bad, I think. All in all, this pattern is a dream. April 2010. How adorable is this custom footmuff? I am in love with this fabric. So bright, vibrant, and sure to make a statement when strolling down the streets of California. This custom also ordered a canopy, seat inlay, and seat bottom liner. The canopy and footmuff are both embroidered with the name Daisy in red. This set is one of my favs. What do you think? Felt. A simple, flat and easy fox of felt. 6 centimeters. Cut each piece without seam allowance. Sew around the body. Put a little fiberfill in it.

Stitch the leg lines. Stitch the eyes. Sew up the head. Put the neck between the head and sew. Put fiberfill into the head. Paint the cheek and the tip of the tail with white acrylic. A leaf. In Japanese folk tales, leaves are important things for foxes. American fox is red. African fox has big ears.
