Semi-Custom Curtains: IKEA ANNAKAJSA Hack

Instagram

Youse guys. I finished piecing this throw size quilt top in record time. I love it. My baby cousin's baby boy will hopefully love it too. ⁠
Not enough is written about photographing quilt tops on a windy day.⁠
That's the Victory Garden Quilt, a Union Jack design that I'm working on. I just have the border to add and it'll be off to a longarm quilter since I learned that I like piecing, but quilting and binding are not for me.⁠
Week Two of my capsule wardrobe while we're temporarily live/working from Key West, Florida.⁠
Greetings from Key West! My husband and I live in Baltimore and drove 1200 miles to Florida to get a break from our house and winter. While down here for a month, I thought I'd see how my more thoughtful sewing and wardrobe planning were going and brought down different clothes than what I'd been wearing at home (mostly my pajamas and sweatpants).⁠
I machine knit a thing and used my sewing machine. Yes! This is the famous "Princess Diana Black Sheep Sweater" that you've seen advertised to you on repeat and was worn in the fourth season of The Crown. I followed the original handknitting pattern designed by Warm and Wonderful, which was converted FROM a machine knitting pattern, and made it on my standard bed Japanese style knitting machine (more on my knitting machine and machine knitting in my highlight FAQ). Shaping via @cochenilledesignstudio software (invaluable for picking up the neckline stitches and knitting the neckband) and wool yarn from @madeinamericayarns. The red is "firefighter" and not as vibrant in person. It's more muted and leans to an orange red. ⁠
