Scraps & Gadgets.

-

I have been working on scraps to make new blocks, when I make a quilt, I often make far too many pieces and then have to work out another way to use them.



The scraps are small, only 2″ by about 5″, but they are fun to play with.





That’s my lot for today,

Take care,
Will.

Yoking

Yoking. Please visit my site at  william -sews.com After the success of the curved yoke for my block shirt I’ve made a few more. The top piece is the curved back yoke I used on the last shirt, the curve wasn’t deep enough so I’ve redrafted it; I think it will work much better. This was the curved yoke  –  not much of a curve at all. I also made a chevron front and back yoke. Now I have to dream up a few other things to do with the block pattern, pocket flaps or panels, anything goes  –  maybe an extreme western yoke. I am looking forward to the Levi jacket pattern arriving, it’s due in the next two days. Regards,  Will.

Rusticity.

I have finished my ‘Down on the farm’ shirt. I like the fabric, I thought it may be difficult to sew because it’s a loose weave but it was alright. It will be a great summer shirt because it’s so light. I was lazy and top stitched a few millimetres in from the edge – a bit 80’s perhaps but it’s a change from edge stitching (and so much easier). I sewed a rounded pocket this time instead of my favourite chevron style. I should have matched the pattern because I had enough fabric, maybe next shirt. I have the next two cut out and ready to go, I’m going to make both at the same time, that will be fun. Please visit my  site;  william-sews.com/ Keep well, keep safe, Regards,  Will.

  These blocks are some I made, but for various reasons, won't be using. They are nice enough, but perhaps not interesting enough to continue. T hat's my lot for today, Take care, Will.
