Like Alice eagerly hoisting herself into the opening of the rabbit hole, the characters in Megan Bogonovich's ceramic sculptures appear to be the protagonists of fantastical adventures. The anachronistic, well-heeled women climb into elaborate sea anemones and coral reefs in a bizarre clash of nature and civilization. The sea anemones are enormous compared to the tiny humans; the structures' different layers stack up like the elaborate architectural designs of storybook castles. With their pastel colors and ornamental details, the underwater creatures seem to make suitable homes for the ladies in A-line skirts and kitten heels, as bizarre as it may seem.

In my sewing patterns created for stretch fabrics i often talk about the required fabric in terms of stretch percentage. For example, in the Briar tee pattern i say that you need to use a fabric with at least 20% stretch. For my maternity patterns i generally suggest fabrics with at least 40% stretch. I feel like this is the best way of explaining exactly how stretchy your fabric should be to work with the design, but i know that if you’re not familiar with that measure it can be a little confusing. Thankfully it’s really really simple to calculate! I’ll show you how to calculate it yourself, and at the end of this post you’ll be able to download our free print at home stretch percentage guide. Your stretch percentage is just the width of your fabric […]

Remember a few months ago when I showed you how I used my fabric scraps to make a rug for my little Birdie’s bedroom? Well, today I’m going to show you my absolute favourite way to use up fabric scraps: braided storage bowls & baskets! I started making storage bowls and baskets a few years ago when Birdie was a baby. Not only is it a great project to use up scraps and worn-out old clothing, but I found it a really fun task to do whilst hanging out with a baby. I have so SO many good memories of sitting on the floor next to Birdie, having a little chat and braiding my scraps while she played. I really like that something I created while she was playing, now holds the toys she plays with! […]
