New hobby!

Recently decided to get a drop spindle kit from Hilltop Cloud on Etsy and ventured into spinning yarn. Having lots of fun with it and here's a picture of my very first hand-spun yarn! :D

 

It's from brown North Ronaldsay fibre from one of her kits. It's 2-ply and about a worsted/DK weight. I wound it up around an old toilet roll. Now to figure out what to do with it. :p

Champagne Upcycled Clutch

Here's an upcycled clutch I made to go with a dress I bought to attend someone's wedding. :) The fabric was from some thrifted pants. I liked the material and the champagne colour was a perfect match for my dress, but the other design elements of the original pants were pretty hideous. All of that was perfect since I was really looking for fabric to turn into a bag! 

I incorporated the original seam as part of the design for the bag and added some pleating. The lining is a lovely dark teal polyester fabric and the button is a button badge I had around and just pinned on. I think it worked out great since this allows me to switch it with another badge to change the accent colour! :D

To begin

Hello! First post! Here's something I made quite a while ago. It's a crocheted scarf. :D I quite like the way it looks. I might make it again with a better and brighter yarn some time.
