julielou pages home about me books worth reading wednesday 17 september 2025 burda style skirt i have long admired the red vichy alaia skirt worn by nz chef and author petamathias but i couldn t find a red gingham fabric i liked see second to last photo when i saw this graphic graffiti like red white and black check silk taffeta i realised my skirt was going to happen serendipitoutsly the perfect pattern to replicate it appeared in my feed recently courtesy of a recent make of eleni_sews on instagram this is a size 42 i recut and remade a second yoke after not liking pattern placements on the first thankfully my invisible zips went in perfectly on both of them i also lined it with linen which i think makes it sit and hang better i made the skirt pieces a bit wider than the pattern said to give a little more fullness and and gave it a deep 4 hem which was hand stitched into place i m hoping with the remnants that i ll have enough to make a simple top to match i m really going to enjoy wearing this dressed up or more casually when some warmer weather arrives pattern is 127burda042023 fabric from drapers fabrics auckland at september 17 2025 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels burda monday 8 september 2025 style arc clare pants i sewed my first ever style arc pattern this weekend the clare pants size 10 in a lightweight denim cotton type of fabric from the stash they have elastic right round the waistband but the front is sewn unstretched to keep it nice and flat while the rear has normal elastic gathers they re very comfortable i did find some helpful sewing tips for this pattern here instructions were a bit sparse but i knew to expect that from a style arc pattern i m re ally pleased with how they ve turned out and how many things in my wardrobe i can wear them with looking forward to summer days so i can enjoy wearing them at september 08 2025 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels stylearcclarepant saturday 2 august 2025 a works in progress update back in june i decided i d start working on some long term unfinished projects there were a couple of reasons for this 1 to stop me wasting time aimlessly and continually doom scrolling on my phone this has the added advantage of helping me to sleep aa bit better at night and 2 to alleviate the guilt i felt for all the started yet boxed up projects using beautiful fabrics and threads so i thought i d provide an update on what i ve achieved and where i m up to the floral applique embroidery piece is now at a point i deem finished i added some small liberty fabric pieces with small flowers and leaves which were then embellished with vintage lace and embroidery i think these add a little lightness to the piece now next mission getting it framed i ve also pulled out my liberty x epp blocks which i started back in july 2022 and over the past three weeks i have joined them all i do have plans to add a border made up of liberty and low volume fabrics too i m just playing with some options and giving my shoulders and fingers a rest from hand sewing this will be known as my liberty kisses quilt the epp hexi travel kit still comes to work with me every day i think i ve made about 500 to sew together now i m taking a wee break from the quilting and hand sewing now i may have taken advantage of some of the recent fabric and pattern sales so am feeling very inspired to make some seasonally inappropriate clothing one of which will hopefully be my auckland frocktails garment stay tuned at

the pouakai tarn caper egmont lighthouse ss gairloch wreck govett brewster art gallery by the camphouse at egmont visitor centre poets bridge at pukekura park te rewa rewa bridge tongaporutu the three sisters at tongaporutu elephant rock the scout and i recently returned from our annual winter holiday this time we went to new plymouth on the west coast of the north island a beautiful coastal city dominated by mt taranaki we were blessed with the most fabulous fine but cold weather so each day were able to see the snow topped mountain from pretty much everywhere we went probably the highlight of the trip was doing one of my bucket list day hikes the pouakai tarn track its a relatively easy walk approximately 6 3 km of boardwalk and stairs uphill to the hut downhill to the tarn and vice versa on the way back we were fortunate to have a gloriously fine wind free day so were able to get the fabulous reflection photos the tarn is renowned for even though there was ice on it new plymouth is a beautiful city lovely street art a coastal walkway great eateries and galleries and parks well worth visiting at july 30 2025 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels holiday new zealand newplymouth tuesday 8 july 2025 a finished quilt i ve finally finished my make it up as i go quilt my first and probably only quilt finish of the year started back here in 2023 it s been a slow process very much inspired by the fabulous seedling quilt from tales of cloth i made a mandolin block as my first block then pieced or stitched other blocks i liked but didn t necessarily want to make a whole quilt of in hindsight i should have made the quilt in a log cabin sequence it would have made fitting pieces a lot easier always using my loved low volume and bright combination this quilt is approximately 70 square the backing is a fabulous rainbow ombre from northcott fabrics the magical e2e quilting by quiltmekiwi is gingersnap design binding is in yarrow by kona fabrics i wasn t sure on the gold colour but i think it frames it all nicely and has a light brightening effect the final seal of approval has been given by meeka at july 08 2025 3
