Hat trick

New baby/toddler hats on my Etsy shop!

A genuine 70's pattern.

All hats are made of recycled fabrics from years gone by.

My lovely, lively model was kind enough to pose during his busy play in the sand box.

So in return he got a new yellow hat to change for when the old green one feels.. well, too green.

Yellow hat

100% cotton

Pattern: my own

Hoot-hoot!

These owls have flown into my Etsy shop.

Hoot-hoot! Go get one for yourself!

A few new experiments:
Above:
A lace bracelet. I made double yarn out of used fruit bags - the ones you get for free when you by fruit or weggies, they are the see-through type, thin plastic. I crocheted it, melted and let it cool in shape around a tube. It turned out pretty much like what I'd hoped for. The plastic turns white when melted.

Below:
A bag out of an old shirt. Cut off the sleeves, armholes serve as handles. Cut off the collar. Seam the bottom. That's it!

Zebra stripes and vintage spools

Spaghetti yarn is turning into a (shapeless) rug. I didn't expect it to be so straining to crochet super bulky yarn. It's really hard work!

While resting my wrist, I finally executed my idea for the wooden, vintage thread spools. I screwed them on a board and brushed some glue on the threads to attach them to the spools. I wanted to leave the thread ends on to give the rack some colour. It's not on the wall yet, as I'm doing some changes in my sewing room and the rack will be hung on the wall a bit later.

Also, I made a necklace using a few meters of the spaghetti yarn, which is, in fact, sustainable yarn made from offcuts of new fashion garments!

There's also a few new items on my Etsy shop.
