*Shop Update is LIVE* - I’m so happy to finally have the Spring Bees collection in the shop (link in bio) after working so hard to get it just right. Every time I design a print for my bags I learn something that makes my work better but it can be so frustrating learning lessons the hard way. This repeat took quite a bit of trouble shooting but I’m really happy I persevered. Those little gold spots the bees are sitting on make me so happy! 🐝 In the shop right now you’ll find Project Bags, Sock Sacks, and DPN Cosies all made using organic cotton, printed using non toxic ink and sewn by me. 💗 Have a lovely weekend friends! . . . #alexcollinsdesigns #projectbagsdontcount #projectbags #neverenoughprojectbags #projectbag #91magazine_handmade #slowliving_create #womenwhomake #themakersyear
Episode 9 is live over on YouTube 🎉(link in bio) and I’m chatting about the #ddmyosotis I’ve finally finished and the knitting projects I’ve been working on this month. What will you be working on while you watch? I’ll be sewing a few quilt blocks for a new project this evening. Have a lovely weekend friends! . . . #sewcialists #imakemyclothes #handmadewardrobe #ddmyosotis #memadeeveryday #sewistsofinstagram #slowliving_create #womenwhomake #sewingyoutuber #knittingpodcast
What a difference a pair of needles can make! Do you have a favourite brand? I put this project away for the longest time because I felt like I was fighting with the yarn but switching the sharp Hiya Hiya interchangeables I was using for the more rounded tip of these Addi’s fixed the issue and now l cant put this sweater down! I’m knitting Treysta by @knit.love.wool for @laine_magazine using Léttlopi from @meadowyarn 💗 (ps. the Sweater Sack project bag pictured is from my shop - link in bio) . . . #treystasweater #treysta #knitlovewool #alexcollinsdesigns #slowliving_create #wipsandblooms #lainemagazine #sweaterknitting #imakemyclothes #themakersyear #knitallthethings #nevernotknitting #knitknitknit #knittingisthenewyoga
Is there anything better than a weekend at home pottering about with nothing in the diary? I’ve managed to fill mine with guilt free reading, sewing and knitting time which means I’ve finally finished the chart for the #trusscardigan I’m knitting and made progress on my Myosotis Dress. What have you been working on friends? I hope there has been time for a project or two this weekend. . . . #alexcollinsdesigns #madewiththefibreco #cupsinframe #slowsundayclub #thesimpleeveryday #seeksimplicity #aquietstyle #wipsandblooms #slowliving_create #knittersgonnaknit #knittingisthenewyoga #womenwhomake #handmadewardrobe #thefibrecocanopyworsted
Will you be going to @unravelfestival this weekend? I’ve finished knitting my Dove Cottage sweater just in time, hooray! 🎉Considering the last sweater I knit took over a year to make I’m rather impressed that I knit Dove Cottage by @emmaknitted for @thefibrecompany in just over 2 months! I swapped the colourwork at the cuffs and hem for ribbing and knit the whole thing using The Fibre Co. Lore in Earthy. I knit pretty monogamously which helped the project go faster but honestly I just really wanted this piece in my wardrobe so I couldn’t put it down! It was my first time knitting a sweater that required seaming and I actually didn’t hate the process which surprised me. I still prefer to knit top down but I’m not scared to seam now which feels amazing :) Do you prefer to seam or knit seamless? . . . #memadewardrobe #handmadewardrobe #madewiththefibreco #thefibrecolore #thefibreco #tfcborrowdale #knittersgonnaknit #knitting_inspire #knitknitknit #memadeeveryday #knitallthethings #nevernotknitting #womenwhomake #91magazine_handmade #handknit #sweaterknitting #slowliving_create #calmfluencer #makerlife
