Pattern Birthday Sale!
Hi everyone
It’s my birthday next week, and for the first time in ages, I’m going out for a big night of partying. I’m sure you’d all want to join me and buy me a drink. But geography is a bitch sometimes. So, I’m giving you all the opportunity to buy me a drink virtually! But it’s the present that gives back. See instead of just giving me money, you get a pattern in return!
Confused?
From now until I recover from my hangover, which is about the 21st of July, I’m having a half price sale on all patterns in the Radical Rags store. Just ’cause I like you all and I can. And I really deserve a big night out!

And craft begat consciousness
Some of you will remember the pattern I designed for the venus symbol aka the feminist symbol. At the time I designed it I didn’t really have any plans to actually stitch it, it just kind of came to me so I put it together. I guess I knew that the right purpose would come along some time.
I scored this hoodie down at the local opshop and thought it would be perfect to stitch on. Dunno if any of you have stitched on polar fleece but it is one of my favourites. It has just that right level of fluffiness to hold the floss really well. Sometimes when you use waste fabric in this way it leaves the floss sitting a bit out from the fabric and it never looks quite as good as while you were stitching it. But polar fleece solves that issue beautifully. And even better it gives it a cute little wonkiness which just proves it wasn’t done by a boring ol’ machine!
I did use some different variations on the colours compared to what it says in the pattern (’cause I didn’t have them on me), just lighter versions. If anyone wants to know the specific colours, let me know and I’ll go look them up. Using the lighter colours worked really well against the grey and they seem to glow a bit. I’m super happy with how that worked out.
And the hoodie itself is really cool. It has that great ski hood neck going on so you keep super warm. And it has nice long arms and body. AND it has pockets (with hidden zips) so it’s a useful garment! What is it with women’s clothing not having pockets, or even worse, fake pockets? That’s just stupid. And it didn’t have anything written on it which is rare in this day and age, so a super find!
This wee baby (the hoodie, not the model!) is for sale in the radical rags etsy store and is absolutely one of a kind. Yeah, I’m gutted it’s too small for me!
