Finished 🥳 who doesn't need more light weight floral summer dresses?! Pattern is #dorisdress by @sewoveritlondon Does anyone have any advice for sewing lightweight cotton? My hemming leaves something to be desired on the sleeves and hem as I must have pulled the fabric when sewing or pressing or both. #dressmaking #sewing #sewersofinstagram (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jhOkVHGYS/?igshid=1s0vnmx8l61ni

This was my first quilt using my own FPP lemon design. I'm very proud of this one! The final quilt was gifted to a friend's bab, who is THE cutest. Find this lemon pattern in my Etsy shop, link in bio. To make it into a mini quilt I simply added boarders of navy fabric and the quilting was nice and simple straight lines, nothing fancy (like me) 😉 #quilt #quilting #quilted #quiltersofinstagram #sew #sewing #sewersofinstagram #lemon #fruit #FPP #foundationpaperpiecing #lemonpattern (at Sydney Harbour Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7dKh8eHwHe/?igshid=13vsp5769arkn

Goes to show you should really check your patterns before printing them. Sent two patterns to the printers to get printed on large paper, only after did I discover that on one four of the pattern pieces decided to merge themselves together. The other I got the SA (seam allowance) totally wrong on ALL the pieces. Ah well, I'm gunna bodge it 😉 #failed #fakeittillyoumakeit #pattern #patterndesign #sewing #sewingpattern #FPP #foundationpaperpiecing #sewersofinstagram #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7FkjrcHiq7/?igshid=29w81q9l3qw8

Working on a pattern for a Bengal cat portrait. I love designing patterns, it's fun and challenging. It's tricky to find the time to make them all up into fabric!

Woo, a busy year for making STUFF and moving countries and joining the @sydney_mqg for extensive quilting motivation From top left to bottom right; 1. Blue and orange kangaroo. A limited run of 6, if you have one, I care about you... Probably 2. Fighting cats. Pattern by @tartankiwi. My first attempt at adapting an FPP pattern so this looked like my cats 3. My very first FPP patterns, designed and made by me! 4. Trinny's FACE FPP pattern, the first (kind of) FPP pet portrait I made 5. Rainbow moth quilt, pattern by @lillyellastitchery 6. Bella's FPP FACE. Couldn't leave her out. Even though her face is SO complex 7. Japanese fabric hexagon quilt as yet unfinished, just top quilting and binding to go! 8. Yellow bear wall hanging, pattern by @quietplay 9. Rainbow zebra face, pattern by @tartankiwi #topnine2019 #sewing #FPP #quiltersofinstagram (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6QWmOXHHp-/?igshid=lfl3dayfazdg

Finally finished! Bella's #FPP face in all its glory. I faced the edges rather than use a binding and have attached slots on the back for the dowel rod so that you cannot see the rod when the piece is hung. The first image is the final piece hanging up, then an image of the back as it is finished as well as a progress shot from yesterday as I quilted her face on my machine. Check out my Etsy, link in bio, or DM me to find out about commissioning your own pet portrait! I promise I do all animals, not just cats... 😻 #foundationpaperpiecing #quilt #quilts #quilting #quilted #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #sew #sewing #sewersofinstagram #sewn #petportrait #pet #pets #portrait #cat #cats #catstagram #cats🐱 #catportrait (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lxe8Nnhfu/?igshid=3zdcusxrczot

Not sure how I feel about this one, what do you think? It is based off a Bengal cat but looks more like a tabby to me! 😼 #cat #cats #catportrait #bengal #tabby #petportrait #pet #petportraits #portrait #inkscape #patterndesign #FPP #foundationpaperpiecing #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #quilted #sew #sewing #sewersofinstagram (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Y0BaTHXWT/?igshid=j62c9h74xttc
