Sewing

Sewing on trend: faux fur including a simple tip

Have you seen all the gorgeous fake fur accessories in the high street these days?
Obviously fur is always a winter winner, but this season it is everywhere and best of all you can find it in rich jeweled colours like ’emerald green’ or ‘deep magenta’ as well as the more natural neutrals…

The pics above are from Ruby and Ed  the company that I usually buy my all time favourite velvet slippers from! Hint hint darling, yes that is the correct link above. I know you will read this! (doesn’t blogging comes in handy sometimes?)

I am always inspired by magazines and catalogues, I am sure you are too? I look at them and think ‘hmm I could make that‘ It is a bit of a joke actually, Marc says it about machinery and furniture and I say it about garments and upholstery. No wonder our house is full of handmade stuff!

Back to the subject of fake fur. I am inspired to make something from it. I have gathered some oh so soft fur fabric (it feels like a pet rabbit I once had) and two huge fur pom-poms.
Time to decide what I want to make. I have so many ideas buzzing around my head, I must pick one soon or I will not sleep tonight!

A Sewing Tip:

Whilst on the subject of faux fur,  I sew with it all the time at work, its so messy!
I thought I would share a simple but effective tip I have learnt along the way.

You may already know this one, but in case you don’t here it is:

Take a look at the before and after pic above, do you see how the seam actually disappears?

After you have sewn the seam of a ‘pile’ or ‘napped’ fabric simply use a brush or a comb to set free the fur that is caught in the seam. This makes the seams appear invisible…

On with the sewing…I will show you asap when I have sewn it.

best

I always appreciate a share!

Hello February! Happy as Larry with an armful of new fabric, bargain priced fabric, those lace fabrics were £1 pm 😳From local store @hansonsfabricsandcrafts Day made 🙌🏻
.
Big hello to new followers , let me reintroduce myself . . . I’m Ashley 👋🏻 a fabric and yarn obsessed midlife ‘gal’ 
Former air stewardess, costume maker and retail store manager. 
An empty nester with son at University, (he’s not too far away 😭) I feathered a new nest with 2 cats who live happily with our two dogs. 
My partner and I are keen on restoring pre loved vintage items of furniture lighting etc into unique pieces for our home. He does the hard work I draw the sketches and point at things. 
I post about my handmade life, sewing and crochet projects, our home restorations and occasionally the clothes and beauty products I wear and use as a midlife woman .
I find it very hard to be niche as I have too much to say! 
I have also been writing my blog Lazy Daisy Jones (link in bio) for almost 10 years. 
I very much enjoy connecting with other midlife girls on insta and proving it’s not just for the under 30’s . 
Leave me a comment if you are over 35 and any of this resonates with you Hellooooo x

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.
