Tessuti Kate top sewing comp; leather straps and fancy buckle sets

Rosie, artworker December 9, 2015

Ok so the only words I got there were "make a Katetop modified from the original pattern". My takeaway was ‘make a top that bears little to no resemblance to the Kate top’….

Sewing time: the Carolyn, the Keana, And a Skirt.

Rosie, artworker October 4, 2015

I made a Named Clothing Keana Blouse and the Closet Case Files Carolyn PJ top, back to back, as a thorough introductory embrace of all that is piping

Frocktails 2015; DIY DVF

Rosie, artworker July 5, 2015

I love this dress. I really do. Its a great dress. I studied DVF's which is all about the column of graphic print plus bare skin (sexy older skin)

The Celestial dress

Rosie, artworker November 7, 2014

The new sewing pattern by a new designer, the Celestial dress is the most best dress I've ever made, for serious. Its got it all going on; style, comfort, practicality and a uniquely modest, (one is a Lady) contemporary, eminently versatile design. Yah, I like it.

Granny Corner: snakeskin & sequins, Frocktails. Sydney 2014

Rosie, artworker October 22, 2014

One should be like throwing tv's out of hotel room windows one is so rock n roll. Frocktails 2014!

Granny Corner: City Gym Shorts 24hr style babe, me.

Rosie, artworker August 10, 2014

My sewing has up till now been a very quiet solo hobby, but since I started this artworkerprojects, I've discovered the happy sisterhood of sewingland! There are lots of fabulous people out there sewing most of their own clothes, just like me! And I'm joining in now! And I never join groups! But sewingland is fun and here is my part of Shorts On The Line August shorts appreciation society. And I will try to not be justifying posting about "just" sewing ever again.

Granny Corner; recent makes. Sewing Missoni, artiness & gingerbread.

Rosie, artworker July 8, 2014

At the moment, we're at home. Granny style. Sewing and...baking and...yeah, watching way heaps of tv on my laptop with headphones. Mmmmm headphones.
And I really need to use some stash fabric, my storage facility is scaring me.

Granny Corner: Me Made May '14 WEEK FOUR!

Rosie, artworker May 22, 2014

Huzzah. The last week of the fantastic Me Made May and hasnt it been fun? I made some lovely new friends, Instagram matchmaking of lady sewists around the world!

Granny Corner: Me Made May '14 WEEK THREE

Rosie, artworker May 15, 2014

Hooray! Week three of wearing a self-made piece of clothing every day and I'm equal parts tired of thinking about what I'll wear every morning & fascinated to find out how this challenge plays out over the next two weeks. I'll need to find some new combinations of my me-mades & work out some new matchy matchies. Interesting. (To me.)

Granny Corner: Me Made May '14, WEEK ONE.

Rosie, artworker May 6, 2014

So this is a progressive post for Week One of the MMM14 challenge, in which I'll document the days I've worn me-made clothes. My pledge was to wear at least three (or more - like everything, IMO, more is always better) made-by-me items of clothing per week.

Granny Corner: Me Made May '14

Rosie, artworker May 1, 2014

This is "... the popular online me-made/self-stitched challenge which asks sewers/knitters/crocheters/refashioners to wear hand-created clothing every day for a month." I'm in!

DIY patchwork tree baubles

Rosie, artworker December 14, 2013

So as far as Christmas DIY's go, this one is acceptably anti-horrid (seriously, what is WITH that red & green?? It's just weird.) and most importantly, cheap. Granny Corner approves of cheap. Also jewellery, GC really, really believes in that.

Mini sculpture gallery; chapter 4: diorama/gallery/backdrop/display/set

Rosie, artworker November 8, 2013

Time to bring all the bits I've made together: the diorama/gallery style displays and the maquette/mini sculptures. Results!

DIY, designer-style: The RosieFendi

Rosie, artworker August 20, 2013

So I need a new handy bag, for the carrying around of my laptop. And I have taken a fancy to one in the style of a "well-known-fashion-house". Of course I'm going to make it myself! Sheesh! But I'll do mine the artworker way: labour intensive custom stencil pattern & embroidery, yay. And that's before I even make the bag!

It's a very simple design and I'm most certainly not the first woman to hanker after one of
these handy bags...

Painted portrait on gilded canvas

Rosie, artworker August 9, 2013

Making a picture on a gilded canvas base,

Sounds promising...everything looks better with gold, I've always thought. It's just so shiny. Apologies for the portrait subject content. Yes yes, me again. This one's a present for my Mum's 70th birthday. And if I'm going to do this kind of thing, of course I'm gonna choose the most flattering pictures ever! Sheesh!
