DIY Men’s Lounge Pants – McCalls 2586

April 18, 2021

Dave has been dropping not so subtle hints about me making another pair of McCalls 2586 for a shamefully long time. So, for Christmas, I bought him 3 lengths of fabric to make him garments of his choice. I had a good idea what he’d want, but wanted get the fit exactly how he wanted it.

Although I’d made them previously I want to check the fit before sewing. I know I would fit a pattern from 12 years ago!

DIY Teen Blackwood Cardigan – Helen’s Closet

April 5, 2021

This is my 7th outing with Helen’s Closet Blackwood Cardigan.

This time though, I made it for Miss 13 for Christmas. I’d heard lots of none too subtle hints for quite some time that she wanted one, but I wasn’t sure if it would fit.

Hi there,
I'm Evie and I knit, stitch, spin and sew.
With varying degrees of success!
But always with my family around me in our little town in the North of England.
Grab a brew and stay a while.
