Another year, another unapologetically neon floral, fruity lingerie set! 🍒🌸🌼 A fit refresh using the Black Beauty Bra - with flexi wires for a comfy, more relaxed feel. I also lined the cups with silk satin … and I’m never going back 😂✨ #sewsky #lingeriesewing #bramaking #brasewing

A matching handmade lingerie set featuring vibrant floral embroidery, sheer pink mesh, and a pop of neon orange striped tulle on a white background. The embroidered lace has neon orange and pink cherries and flowers intertwined with neon green leaves.

Verdict? Delicious! For those unfamiliar, these #hotcrossbuns are eaten around Easter - best toasted with a dollop of butter. I make mine with spiced brioche dough (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice, cloves, black pepper) and fruit: raisins, currants, blueberries, cherries & cranberries.

Banana Sweater is... bananaering! 🍌. My knitting tension is all over the place but once the loose ends are woven in and the finished piece is blocked it'll be much better 🤞🫣🤞. I'm about 4% complete 🤣 #knitsky #bananasweater

Epic knitting project for 2026 - a psychedelic banana sweater! I created the design based off the RTW Colourful Bananas Cardigan by Farm Rio 🍌. It's been WIP for 4 months now and I'm currently on round 4(5?!) of creating the knitting charts. I ended up writing an app to help pixelate it 😂 #knitsky

I did it! I made a Catwalk Corduroy Coat 🤣. For the long noodle cat (didn't have enough fabric for the chonky one). Fabric 🧵: 'Desert Sage' corduroy fabric from Spotlight Pattern 📐: Lumberjack Shirt by Sofi & Friends - modified with details from the Legend Jacket by Fibremood #sewsky #fibremood

Made the cutest corduroy jacket for my baby nephew (not for my chonky cat, I swear 😂). It’s the Legend Jacket by FibreMood and has lots of cool details: collar stand, sleeve vent & functional chest pockets... but mini! I sized it up so he can rock it next winter 🍂👶. #sewsky #sewcialists #fibremood

First time sewing a Grasser pattern and I’m so happy with how this jacket turned out! 💙 Loved playing with texture + neon yellow accents. Fabric 🧵: Camo Denim Brocade from 'Original Designer Fabric Store' on AliExpress Pattern 📐: Parker №624 from Grasser #memade #sewing #sewcialists #sewsky

Denim jacquard parka modelled on a mannequin in from of white doors. The jacquard is in a textured abstract camo pattern in contrasting light blue and navy threads. The jacket has two large gusseted chest pockets with pocket flaps and two large gusseted hip pockets with slanted side openings. The waist is cinched in with a drawstring. The sleeves are fitted with shoulder tabs and there are long buckled sleeve straps at the cuffs.

Side view of a denim jacquard parka, modelled on a mannequin in front of white doors. The neon yellow snap fastener at the shoulder tab and the neon yellow eyelets of the sleeve strap are visible against the blue jacket fabric. You can see that the sleeve strap at the cuff is overly long by design.

I did a fused glass workshop at Wundaire last month with some friends and we finally had a reveal party last night to see our finished pieces! I decided to do a terrazzo/plaid mashup design and I love how it turned out 😍

The right-half has been covered with green and teal glass stringers and noodles in a plaid design. It is sitting on a white paper towel on top of a cork placemat. There are containers of glass supplies in the background.
