The Importance of Being Creative

It's been a few months since I wrote a blog post. Life, work, kids, pandemic - it all got a bit hectic and I haven't had headspace to sit and write anything here.

That's not to say I haven't been creative or crafting. I have. In fact I wanted to reopen the blog with a brief musing on how important it felt to me to continue crafting even though at numerous points over the summer I was stressed, pushed for time and exhausted.

Cecilia 'helping' me by sitting on some new makes I was photographing.

During this time keeping up some creative activity was vital. There were days that I struggled through while constantly feeling an almost physical urge to go and make something. It gave me a focus, a calm and a sense of achievement outside of everything else that was going on. And it's just lovely to make something, even if some of the seams are wonky or the lines of stitching could be neater!

I'll aim to recap a few of the makes I worked on over the summer, while also continuing my 'week in crafting' summaries.

Eco-friendly Upcycled Face Wipes

I recently ran up some eco-friendly face wipes for a friend. These are designed to replace cotton pads or face wipes, and are washable. To increase their green credentials I made the pad section from an old towel. I had some charm squares spare, so used those as the backing fabric. I cut the towel into squares that were slightly smaller than the charm square, and wrapped the fabric over the towel piece to form a small border. I then sewed the top fabric down with a zigzag stitch. This meant I was mainly sewing on the fabric, as my machine can't sew through towel (unless I haven't found the right setting or needle of course)! Very very simple, but pretty and functional! There are lots of tutorials for other ways to make these face wipes, such as: https://www.arosetintedworld.co.uk/how-to-make-reusable-make-up-remover-pads/ It seems to be even more simple with an overlocker: http://juliawithanh.com/sewing/23-reusable-face-pads You can even crochet some! https://dab...

Musings of a Beginner Dress-maker: #historybounding

I've always wanted to learn to make my own clothes, but it's not something I've had time or felt confident enough to try until recently. I am ENTIRELY a beginner - I didn't have a single sewing lesson at school and until I bought my first one had not so much as touched a sewing machine. I wrote in my Sewing Resolutions post about being plus-size and how I see dressmaking as a way to make clothes that fit me well. But that's not the whole story, and I've recently found a community of sewers who express exactly what I would like to achieve: #historybounding The term #historybounding was coined by Morgan Donner in this video: It refers to those of us who want to incorporate some historical elements to our daily style, whether that is going full-on vintage or using shapes, silhouettes and accessories that 'feel' historical. There's a strong overlap between "history bounders" and #costubers - those people who have YouTube channels where they f...

New Year Resolutions 2022

Happy New Year! It's 2022 already... The #ConfinedCrafting blog is now a year old. Which brings me to my first resolution: update the blog more often ! I haven't been a regular blogger and I would really like to make a good go of regular updates here. My new sewing assistant is even more disruptive than the cats! Meet Rudolph the Spanador (Cocker Spaniel-Labrador mix). Spot my stolen tape-measure... My second resolution involves following projects through to the end before getting distracted planning a new project! I really enjoy the process of planning, choosing a pattern, assembling the kit, even cutting out the fabric, and often at that point I start to sew then run out of time to finish in one go, then just ... Never pick it up again. Even if I really want the thing I am making! Hence the resolution to focus and finish on a project before starting another. I still haven't hemmed this circle skirt that I made in May 2021... My third resolution is to keep my sewing area...
