Dottie angel

Welcome to today's, yesterday's...sorry I'm late! Dottie Angel Frockalong post. Today I am sharing an interview with Catherine (@knittingcatherine) and a few links to some other great Dottie Angel frocks. Shall we begin? Hi Catherine! Can you tell us how long you've been sewing for and what drew you to this hobby? I have been sewing since age 9 so I guess 50 years, phew how time flies! I was drawn to sewing not as a hobby but as a necessity. I am the daughter of a single parent in the 50’s…

Last summer, it seemed like the Dottie Angel Frock pattern was everywhere. All the knitting podcasters and bloggers were suddenly sewing, and this was their go-to pattern. There were sew-alongs, tutorials, Instagram posts, a host of Dottie Angels populating the internet! So, of course, I wanted a Dottie Angel frock. I made quite a few of my own clothes in high school and college after my mother taught me to sew. She made most of my and my sister's clothes when we were kids, mainly to save…

i fear i have painted my DOUBTER in rather a poor light. if indeed he stepped onto the stage right now, i'm thinking a ripple amongst the crowd may result in some boo-ing... so please allow me to correct the wrong i have made. for my DOUBTER is perhaps worthy of way more than a gold sticky star, he has stuck by my side near on 25 years and he does not doubt in any way that buying second hand is a good and proper thing to do, no sirree! his doubting ways come into play concerning my rather…

some days when Mr Sun won't shine and Mr Blah seems all around, i am thinking it quite nice to have a reminder of how to 'perky up' the day. now some may say "how Tif, could a tea towel possibly perky up my day?" and usually i would be inclined to agree, although saying that, there are so many tea towels out in 'tea towel world' doing a grand job at cheering up a nest or two. however this perfectly peachy pair of over sized tea towels are tres clever, not only do they have the ability to…

Sometimes you see a pattern and it just screams out 'I am for you'. For me simplicity 1080 was one of those patterns - as soon as I saw it I just knew I HAD to have it. I imagined making up seven versions and just throwing away all of my other clothes!! I first saw it on Lazy Daisy Jones blog and since then have seen some gorgeous versions popping up on Instagram and the blogosphere - I really love all the versions The Woven Nest has made. Initially I had trouble finding the pattern to…
