Knitting. Sewing. General craftiness. Obsessed with what I can make from the things people get rid of.

It’s another Sesame Street print for #vintagesheetlove
I’ve found this print several times, and have made myself PJ pants from it that I love!

Today on #vintagesheetlove is this Smurf print. I have this print more than any other, and I will always pick it up when I find it. This is a pillow sham, not a sheet, but I rarely follow my own rules. I’m rude like that.😉

On the list for today: a new denim jacket with quilt sleeves. I buy denim jackets from thrift stores or estate sales, then replace the sleeves with quilt pieces. I’m a little obsessed with these right now.

I’m starting a series tagged #vintagesheetlove where I share some of my favorites before they become something else. Today we have one I looked for all over! Disco Snoopy. Love it! And did you know close dancing is coming back? These images are large and will be perfect for my large market totes.

Finally got a pic of the cherry tote! Vintage fabric for the outside and a repurposed tablecloth for the lining. I ❤️ making one of a kind creations with the stuff other people get rid of. There are literally tons of textiles out there that are ready to be something fabulous.

Finishing up a Market Tote today. This amazing vintage fabric HAS to be from the 80s, right?

Day 16 of #fiberuary is “Reading/Watching” I love audiobooks and podcasts! I have 3 audiobooks going right now: one suspense, one personal development, and one 50 hour epic novel that I really have to pay attention to. ATWWD: My fave of all true crime podcasts. Last watched is Agatha all Along.

Day 14 of #fiberuarychallenge is “love”. My family, filled with amazing and weird (in the best way) people. BTW- young adult children can be so much fun!

Day 9 of #fiberuary is “Sunday Funday”. Today I made time to sew! I made a lot of progress on this popover jacket made from 2 vintage sheets. Just buttons, cuffs, and sleeves to go!

Day 8 of #fiberuary is “Flat Lay Fun”
Here is one of my pattern designs and a cute little project bag. I’m not great at flat lays, but I’ve got a talented friend who is!

Day 6 of #fiberuarychallenge
“Pop of color”
I got this set at last year’s Rose City Yarn Crawl, and I think I’m ready to use it finally. I’m a sucker for a rainbow. 🌈

Hi! Once again I’m trying the #fiberuarychallenge even though I don’t think I’ve done more than 10 posts each time. It’s still fun!
I’m Sonicka (Nicki) and I’ve been crafty all my life. Current crafts at the top of my list are knitting and sewing. I love giving old textiles and yarn new life.😊

Cleaning out my project basket this morning and I found this fingerless mitten, part way through cast off.🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s been at the bottom of the basket for months!

Time to try out a new-to-me pattern! All cut out and ready to go. My goal is to sew one step a day this week. I cut out the whole pattern (a pullover windbreaker type thing) out of a queen fitted sheet!

Where are the people who are into creative reuse (upcycling, refashioning, etc)? I am obsessed with vintage textiles. The 80s kids sheets are a particular favorite.😍

Knitters: my stockinette knitting curls SO BAD! I know it’s because it’s tighter on the front than the back, but what am I doing to make it that way? It happens when I knit flat and in the round. This project is going to be grafted, but I want to improve.

A dry day in the Willamette Valley today, so we are knitting our Rose City MKAL projects and pretending this is a campfire. It feels good!
