Beautiful as always! The idea of a class learning to make the bag you showed-the one with the embroidery and the one you were prepping at the end is enticing to me. Hope you do it!
I do really enjoy watching your creative journey and greatly appreciate you sharing your book finds. Please do seriously consider offering a class. Enjoy the time with family.
Lovely to see your creations. I never mind that you haven't done knitting :). I'm keen to take a look at that lovely quilt book from the library. Thanks for the recommendation, and thank you also for the tip around using freezer paper for cutting out patterns. Love the music you use, Sarah. Have a great month ahead.
I love your bags both completed and in progress. I love to play around with natural dyes as well. I primarily dye wool yarns. I’m actually knitting some socks right with some naturally dyed yarn I dyed myself. I shared them this past weekend on my second ever video.
Thank you for sharing your creative journey, Sarah. I would love to take a class on the making the sewing kit/bag! Your free hand embroidery is lovely🩵
Hope you had a lovely Easter, Sarah! I'm on the East coast this week, mostly helping out my mom, but also sneaking in a little knitting. Your little sewing purse is charming, and your embroidery is lovely. Love all your creative projects, not just the knitting =). Safe travels home from work & your parents later this week!
Your marsma turned out beautifully Sarah! In particular I adore your appliqué forest animals! I fondly remember our time in Norway when you were working on it! Please please can you do a marsma course/class! ❤
Oh Sarah, your marsma is breathtaking....both of them. Such a beloved and thoughtful work in stitching over time. Truly a masterpiece to be cherished both in the making and handing down through generations. How sacred a home you create. 🙏🙌
Have fun with natural dyeing! I’ve been doing natural dyeing/printing since 2008 and it is a constant and exciting journey of discovery. Watching from northeastern Tasmania 😊
Sarah! SO much SNOW! I suppose it is to be expected in your region. I think someday someone will figure out how inspirational the weather is to our creativity. I LOVE all of your creating and hearing what inspires you....even if it isn't knitting. I am headed back down the fabric rabbit hole. Sending you virtual spring flowers from MI where our 5" melted quickly. Stay safe and well. 🌷
Sarah, you sure have a creative journey. Love your bag creation. You got all the snow, we got the rain! I would rather the snow. Be safe and keep creating❤
Your bag is just beautiful, and your embroidered tree is as well- I admire all of your talents, Sarah!! Funny you mention natural dyeing because that's what I've been working on over the last month. It's quite a long process between the scouring, mordanting twice, and dyeing. I like the muted results by using iron as a modifier, and the colors definitely are SO much nicer than commercially dyed yarn or fabric!!!
One idea - a technique used in older bodices and in the bunads here in Norway, possibly also those in Sweden, is to use a stiffer thicker natural linen fabric as a lining. It softens with wear but helps to provide structure. And as your vest is patchwork, you could easily sew “in the ditch” in between the patches to fasten it to the lining to keep things from shifting. This particular linen would not have to even be as heavy as what the bodices used. My bunad is lined with the inner linen sewn and flipped so the raw edges of outside and of lining face each other. The trim at the armholes and around the outer edges of the bodice is what holds the two layers together - but again - you could stitch along the patches to keep them from shifting - if needed. It is a more traditional technique than using interfacing and I thought it might appeal to you. 🤷🏼♀️😊 Happy sewing & I am sure your vest will be lovely regardless of the method you choose 😊👍🏻
Would love to know where you got your tweed scraps. I can’t seem to even find the original video of Kate making the cabin curtains sadly. I looked to see if you might have linked anything in your description and sadly no. I have big plans myself this summer to try some natural dyeing with yarn and fabrics too!
I’d love to see a class for the bag!

A marsma class would be amazing!! I would absolutely take it if you do one ❤️❤️ I love all your creations 😍
Love that little bag! I would be interested in a class
Well yes we love the knitting but mostly I stop by to visit with you ❤

Just in love with your pattern🥰🥰🥰

I enjoy all of your projects even if there’s no knitting 😊 I would also like a class on how to make your sewing case

I wanted to make a marsma when you worked on the first one. This one will be beautiful! I’m definitely going to make one
Hi Sarah! I always enjoy the part where you share the books that inspire you
Just a suggestion… use SF101, fusible muslin on the back of the wool. I use it to back my wool projects before I embroider or appliqué on a wool base.
Yes, I also use SF101 to stabilize my wool and flannel.
Thank you for sharing. I have some in my stash so I will experiment with it!
Loved the episode! I would love to take a class from you on creating a marsma. You are very inspiring!!
Thanks Sarah. I enjoy your many craft endeavors.

Thank you for this tip, I will consider it on my next sewing kit. I appreciate you sharing your insight!
Sarah, I'm in love with your Husswif and I would be so happy for a class..😊

I have big plans myself this summer to try some natural dyeing with yarn and fabrics too!
They are from Beyond Measure in the UK ;)
@@FiberTrek Thank you so much! 😀
What did you say that bag was called? A marshma bag?
yes, a marsma very similar to a huswif sewing kit. I have followed the hashtag on Instagram for a while which is a nice beginning resource.
