Neat – Knitting needle book

July 16, 2017 by nadel&gabel

You may have recognized on Instagram that there has been a lot of knitting going around here lately. I was taught knitting by my grandmother, actually both of my grandmothers were knitters. They especially perfectionated sock knitting. When they died some years ago I inherited – among some other things like a recipe note book – some of their knitting needles. They build the base of my collection of needles that keeps growing. Growing step by step, cause as much […]

Keep the rhythm – Avocado dyed fabric and embroidered pincushion

June 2, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Somehow I didn’t really see it coming. It was a busy time, but I had the feeling that I’m coping well this time. I must have missed some early sign of my body. So the sign got louder, arrythmic. My heart had lost its rhythm somewhere on the way, I had lost my rhythm. I was eager to regain it, to find my beat again. What helped me (like most of the time): The calming power of nature, withdrawal from […]

Well equipped – Knitters project bag

May 21, 2017 by nadel&gabel

I had bought the Cloud9 “Wound Up” fabric already with the idea of sewing a knitting bag in my mind. And then … nothing happened. … Until I wanted to take my recent knitting project with me and it didn’t fit into my small project bag I made a while ago (btw one of my most popular blog posts these days). After some measuring to find the perfect size – the hight fits circular needles and small double pointed needles […]

Girls only – Discrete little pouch

February 19, 2017 by nadel&gabel

This weekend I attempted a long overdue task: Tidying up my sewing materials. Bias tape, rivets and eylets, zippers and cotton webbing, velcro and cords – it had all become quite a mess lately, in which I had slightly lost orientation. No wonder that I made surprising discoveries during the cleaning up 😀 After this first step it was time to go through my collection of fabric scraps. Pleasant surprises here as well. The scraps reminded of former sewing projects of […]

Balance – Felt ball mobile

January 14, 2017 by nadel&gabel

It’s already midst of January, the blog break obviously took longer than intended. Anyway, I hope you all had relaxed holidays and a good start into the new year. Mine started with a lot of work, but I don’t complain. Proudness that I managed not to fall into too much procrastination prevails! (One of my big goals for 2017). This project actually was one of my Christmas presents. But as it is not very christmasy and because I had wanted […]

Efficient – Origami bento bag

November 20, 2016 by nadel&gabel

This may be the fastest and easiest thing I’ve ever sewed. Ratio of time invested : outcame = unbeatable! Although this origami bento bag isn’t difficult to sew, it is helpful to have have pictured tutorial of the folding steps at hand when sewing it for the first time. (I have lot of experience in sewing things wrong sides together, it’s some kind of logical problem.) These pictured instructions f.ex. are helpful. (Optionally you could box the corners to create […]

Minimalism – Laundry bags from SnapPap aka Kraft-Tex

May 16, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  This place has got a bit quiet during the last weeks, for different reasons. One of them was the major spring cleaning up, decluttering and rearranging that happened in this place. And although it comes with costs in time, dorsal pain and patience – to stand the temporary mess – it’s totally worth the effort. There is this connection between outside and inside. Sorting things out, clearing your space has an immediate impact on your mind and soul. Every […]

One for all – Easy baby blankets

May 1, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Kids are born around us in a quite high frequency these days… of course, it’s the age. When it comes to newborn gifts I always turn back to a handmade blanket. Why? Usually young parents don’t lack of clothes for their baby. So, why giving the 101st romper which will be too small within weeks, anyway? Instead I like the (potential) durability and versatility of a blanket. It can warm the newborn in the house and outside in the buggy. It can […]

Keep on turning – DIY rope bowl

January 18, 2016 by nadel&gabel

This project is in my blogging queque for a while now. It was one of my christmas gift projects, actually one of my favourite ones. Over years now I’ve bookmarked various tutorials for handmade baskets or bowls – but most of them are based on handsewing … aargh … I hate handsewing, I’m a impatient person. So, basically I remained bookmarking and thinking about how I would … someday … And then I saw Frau Gold`s admirable rope bowls, followed the link for […]
