Turning my Scrap Fabric into Useful Projects 🪡 Retro Claude 2025-07-11 | It's time to tackle my mountain of scrap fabric. I have been collecting all my scrap fabric for years and despite donating 2 massive bags full of scraps already I still have a lot to work through.I'm going to have to get very creative with this project as many of the fabric scraps I am left with are awkward weights, sizes and quantities. But I do have something in mind for my first project, using all jersey scraps....🐶 For more information about the supplies I used in this video see below:Please be aware that these may be affiliate links. 👗The fabric: All Scraps! ✂️My scissors: UK - williamgee.co.uk/shop/fiskars-softgrip-fabric-scissors-26cm🌎 - AD amzn.to/3TqxhVNIt doesn't cost you anything extra, but if you purchase something through these link I make a small commission for referring you.

The Daisy Blouse gets an outing! #vintagecrochet Retro Claude 2025-06-04 | After a really long time crocheting 371 daisies together I finally have a top that I can wear out. I went to see @AuroraMusic at Wembley Arena and had the most amazing time!
What to wear with the Daisy Blouse? #sewing #vintage Retro Claude 2025-05-23 | With the Daisy Blouse finished it's time to think about what to wear with the world's most complicated vintage crochet project.Many of you had some excellent suggestions and I was able to thrift the perfect pair of 1930s style cream trousers! The only issue is they are much too long. And so it's time to do a thrift flip, or a simple sewing alteration and hem the trousers to be shorter.
