Ronan's Romper

Stop the press guys… A while back I pinned this super cute romper from Erin at Lemon Tree Creations, with the promise that if Hercules was a boy, I would be making it for his Christmas outfit. Turns out that Herc was Ronan, and so it was time to get stuck into my Christmassy fabrics. (and FYI, if Herc had been a girl, I would have been making this sunsuit from Made By Rae in Michael Miller’s Yule Critters in [...]

I first spotted this pattern over at Living With Punks, Susan made an awesome version in Michael Miller’s groovy guitar fabric and I fell in love. Of course, I wasn’t so in love that I bought it straight away, instead I fussed about for six months, staring at it on Etsy about once a fortnight and daring myself to give it a go. I know I’ve said it before, but I’m not a clothes seamstress. I can make a quilt [...]

I really like batik and the effect it gives, but don’t have the spare change to buy a proper set up to do batik traditionally, which is why as soon as I saw this tutorial I had to try it out straight away! Tutorial: Flour Paste Batik Level: Easy Time taken: Probably only an hour worth of actual work, but there’s a lot of waiting time as well, this isn’t an instant gratification project! Give yourself a full weekend to [...]

Recently I’ve been working from “Mr Funky’s Super Crochet Wonderful” by Narumi Ogawa. I love Amigurumi and Japanese crochet patterns in general, and this little guy begged me to be made when I flicked through the book. Pattern: Mr Funky’s Pretty Little Kitty from Super Crochet Wonderful, the pattern is also available at Narumi Ogawa’s Etsy shop, although I feel that I should say that I find it very odd that she’s selling the “Spunky Funky Monkey” and “Pretty Little [...]

Every week Arounna Khounnoraj posts a craft walkthrough on Bloesem Kids, they’re generally very kid focused and excellent for introducing different mediums to younger children. My son isn’t quite at a level to be able to do this yet, so this was entirely done by myself – I think I need to get my niece and nephew round for a day of art so I can thoroughly test all of the child related tuts that I have on my “to [...]

If I had to describe myself in two words, it would probably be ‘easily amused’, it doesn’t take much to make me chuckle, and one of the things that definitely hits the spot is making “meta softies”, so far I have a zebra made from zebra fabric, an elephant made from blue elephant fabric and as soon as I spotted this pattern I knew exactly what fabric was destined to be used. The Purl Frog Pattern is from The Purl [...]

Hi, I'm FernHi, I'm Fern and CraftBlog is my online home. I live in NSW with my husband and three sons, and spend every moment of my free time with my head buried in some form of creativity. In fact, I've never met a craft I didn't like, although I think I've tried a fair few that probably weren't too keen on me. Want to know more?
