Welcome to my blog!

I’m Rachel. I’m a bit of a history nerd, not too bad with a needle and thread, and a Crohn’s Disease warrior since 2018. Follow this blog for my adventures in sewing as I endeavour to become worthy of the title of seamstress.

🌟 New Project 🌟 continuing with my Howl's Moving Castle project theme/obsession - I'm making a crochet cardigan inspired by Howl's coat! 🌟 New blog post 🌟 I finished my first make of 2023! I started it at the end of December but it still counts because I finished it in January. I used the Sirdar 9248 knitting pattern to make a vintage style vest and it's perfect! Here it is 🌟 My Makes of 2022 🌟 🌟 My last make of 2022 🌟 now that this little highland cow has been gifted to Stephen's parents, I can share him here! 🌟 waistcoat number 4 for Dad 🌟 My Dad requested another waistcoat for Christmas, but this time with welt pockets for a pocket watch! 🎄 Homemade Christmas gifts pt. 1 🎄a travel set for my Mum, a small dog desk buddy for my brother, and a net shopping bag for my sister.
