Not long before Christmas I picked up a small ironing board at a garage sale for the grand total of $1, it was the perfect size for bringing into the kitchen and ironing on the worktop whilst I watch the kids (Or more truthfully, for when I’ve piled fabric on top of the full size ironing board in my sewing room and I’m forced to start moving stuff into the rest of the house to have space to actually create, [...]

My gobsmackingly awesome niece is due to turn eighteen next month and I’ve been wondering what to gift her for a while. I know I wanted to make her something, but I was unsure exactly what I could do. My boys were sitting down watching Sleeping Beauty, I was half listening as the fairy godmothers were blessing Aurora when it suddenly clicked, my niece needs to begin her adult life with a Fairy Godmother, and that’s exactly what I made [...]

One of my favourite things from Connor’s hungry caterpillar birthday celebration was the little matching party hats I made up for him and his brother, let me refresh your memory with a very bored looking birthday boy… (Connor is 3 going on 13, he has already decided he is far too cool to have people sing “Happy Birthday” to him) The hats are great if you’re fed up of buying party hats that rarely last the day or to add [...]

My lovely friend Shanni showed off her new camera strap the other day and I was instantly jealous. I have no idea why it had never occured to me to cover up the big chunk of black with “EOS” written all over it, so, inspired by Shanni’s purchase, I set about giving my camera strap a facelift. This is literally a tube of fabric, so it’s a great beginners project and it only took me about fifteen minutes, so perfect [...]

My eldest son is obsessed with “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, at barely two he can recite the entire thing from memory, from Eric Carle’s awesome fabric line we now have cushions, aprons and even some pants with his artwork on. So now that he can sleep on it, cook in it and wear it, what comes next? He needs to cuddle it! Please be aware that this certainly is a tutorial, not a pattern. There are no exacts here, just [...]

If you want everyone to get a little bit of handmade from you for Christmas, but don’t have the time to make up 30 different gifts, this is a great way to send a little bit of homemade festive cheer to everyone. They’re very quick and simple to make up, and look like they too far longer than they actually did, exactly what you need when you’ve got a list of handmade gifts about a mile long to make up! [...]

Okay, so it’s not Tuesday, I’m two days late on the blog love post, and I haven’t put up Flickr Friday, but damnit, I don’t care because I’m so excited about this tut – which is why it’s going up early. Hot Christmases like we have in Australia are still a very strange concept to me, growing up Christmas was about snow (or grey British drizzle!), log fires and roast dinners, then five years ago I suddenly had to adjust [...]

My eldest son has just made the move from his high chair and onto a booster seat at “the big table”, yay for creating more space by putting the high chair in the garage (at least for a few more months until his younger brother needs it!), less of a yay for my dining table constantly being under a barrage of crumbs, melted cheese and sticky pesto. So, as with most tutorials on here, out of necessity I made up [...]

New crewel embroidery pattern up for your stitching pleasure! I originally created these little guys in their costumed finery with the intention of putting them on a Halloween wall hanging, but now I’m more convinced that they should be on display all year! They’d look great stitched onto black fabric destined to become a bag, a notebook cover or even just framed. Just download the pdf, print it out and transfer the pattern onto your fabric (I like to use [...]

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?
