DIY Couture

saramakesthings@me.com — 2010-02-20T23:42:17+00:00

I’m very excited. I’m gonna make a cloak! Sort of Red Riding Hood / Scottish Widows ad. I haven’t used a pattern to sew and make clothes from before, and I think that’s half my problem. Things I’ve made are usually a bit spontaneous, make-shift and shoddy. But I found this pattern book by DIY Couture a few weeks ago when I went to a small press fair in Euston. There were loads of stalls of fun illustrated zines and hand drawn comic books, the sort of place really where me and Matt should be exhibiting our wares, maybe so in the future! However it was this unexpected fashion stall, with booklets guiding you on how to make your own clothes, that won me over to make my one purchase of the day!
Should I be posting about this? ‘cos maybe you will all decide to make one too! But I think there is enough variation in the design and the choice of fabric used, which could make them all look really different. I haven’t decided on my main fabric yet, for this I’m gonna take a trip to Dalston Mill Fabrics. But I think for the lining I’m gonna use a bright pink sari I picked up in South India, a few years ago (pictured below fashioned into a still unfinished slip-dress from last year!)
So I haven’t started my cloak yet, but keep a look out!

Moving

saramakesthings@me.com — 2010-01-16T02:19:35+00:00

I am moving house. Although it is very sad and stressful, its time for a change. So things may be a bit quiet on here until I get settled again.

Creative Stitches & Scotch Eggs

saramakesthings@me.com — 2010-02-09T02:07:51+00:00

Last week I was invited to go down to Brighton for the day to help out on the UK Hand Knit Association’s stand at the Creative Stitches show at the Brighton Centre. Most of it was not so much to my taste, mainly hobbyist card making and tacky lower end commercial craft, which is a good thing as I wasn’t tempted to buy anything! However it was massively busy, and I was rushed off my feet with a que of mainly elder ladies wanting me to teach them how to crochet! So after a day full of slipknots, hooks and chains, and yarning over, I went for a quiet walk along the seafront to take in the waves before heading back to London. Getting on the train I spotted a musician, who I only recognized from some gigs I had been to in the last few months, where he was featuring with his band Drum Eyes. Dj Scotch Egg joined me for the journey home. We had a lovely chat about noisy music, before I left him on his way onward to Leicester...

Jitterbug Fingers

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-11-17T10:34:36+00:00

I few months ago I bought this Jitterbug yarn at the iknit weekender. I’ve been wanting some hand warmers so I picked up my 5 needles and made up these as I went along! I hope you like them. Here’s the pattern if you fancy making your own pair, mine are rather small and snug, so you may wish to add a few extra stitches, but I’m sure they will stretch with a bit of wear. This is the first pattern I have written up for others so it may not read well or seem a bit awkward. Don’t feel obliged to follow it note for note just as long as the second hand matches the first!

5x 5.5mm double ended knitting needles
I used Jitterbug yarn but doubled up more like a DK weight.

Cast on 40 stitches, then split between 4 needles and join in the round.
1-6: knit in the round
7-29: rib stitch (knit 2, purl 2)
30: knit 2, purl 2tog
31-43: rib stitch (knit 2, purl 1)
44: knit 2, purl 1, make1
45-54: rib: knit 2, purl 2
55: cast off 10 stitches at start of round to make thumb hole, continue to rib(k2, p2) rest of round
56-64: at start of round now purl 4 above thumb hole opening, then continue to rib knit 2, purl 2
66: knit 1, make 1, knit 1, purl 2tog
67: knit 1, purl 1
68: purl 1, knit 1
69: knit 1, purl 1
70: last row cast off.

Bloggers Blagged and bagged a Banquet!

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-11-14T13:15:04+00:00

Susie is one of my ladies who attends my crochet class at Hornsey Library. She has been involved with putting on an event with a bunch of food bloggers called Blaggers Banquet, and even blagged me into screen printing up a whole bunch of tote bags to give away as their guest’s goodie bags! I wonder what’s in the bag for me!

Beard For Boyce

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-10-19T22:32:00+01:00

After knowing Mr Boyce for over 3 years with a beard, he has decided to go clean shaven. This has been some what of a shock to me and others, so I have made him a woolly replacement in crochet to keep his face warm.

Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef

saramakesthings@me.com — 2008-07-02T21:40:45+01:00

Hyperbolic Crochet

I have become hooked into crochet. As a Textile Artist this activity is something I already had in practice, picking up the stitches and following on from my grandma’s legacy, this has gone beyond what is commonly perceived as a feminine handicraft, a hobby of the past or of a quirky, kitche activity to do in the pub with your indie mates. Crochet, knit and other textile techniques are not just a physical activity. Here lies a cognitive exercise, in which thought process develops through the process of making. Crochet has gone into the realm of physics and mathematics, as being a perfect method to create models to express and explain the hyperbolic plane.

A hyperbolic plane?… I have become stuck for trying to describe it, yet through making I can show you an example of this one surface that is ever expanding and multiplying in its negative curvature. If mathematics is a language, then in its visual form shows structure and pattern. Using crochet, increasing the number of stitches from the starting point, demonstrates these geometric forms. I have found a connection here, a thread that runs through all my textile work, uncovering a sense of order out of apparent chaos.

The hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef is an international collaboration conceived by The Institute For Figuring bringing together the work of countless people, creating their own crochet models as single elements, brought together as a whole, show a mass of microcosms and macrocosms. The “coral reef” has been exampled for this project to push forward an ecological issue, but when looking at these forms could equally be describing other biological structures.

From its international exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, people from the Uk were invited to respond and make their own crochet corals. This response has been so fantastic, that I have become involved in this branching off, to create the UK Reef. In partnership with Denise Quinn, and with support from the Crafts Council I have helped curate and install the crochet display for tour in the Knitting and Stitching Show, during which I taught more people how to crochet. The project grows and spreads as more people get hooked. The future for the growing UK Reef? As more off shoots develop, this craft is becoming viral, watch this space...

The Knitting & Stitching Show

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-10-06T21:55:23+01:00

As some of you know I have a crochet group on Saturday mornings, this week we thought we'd meet up at the Knitting and Stitching show. If you are already going it would be great to see you there! Tickets are available on the door for £12.00, so I believe.

Before going into the show we are going to have our usual Saturday morning crochet and knit meet up.
If you want to join us we will be meeting up on:

Saturday 10th October, at 11am. Outside The Phoenix pub, next to the main entrance of the Palm Court of Ally Pally.

This meet up is free to attend and anyone can come! - you don't even have to go into the show!

I will also be going to the show on Friday 9th if anyone wants to meet up! Hope to see you all there!

Milk Glow

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-09-28T10:34:37+01:00

I have recently discovered a friend’s blog: Milk Glow, full of stunning and inspirational photography, it also looks at some beautiful crafts, so I thought I would share it with you.

Carousel

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-09-07T17:06:53+01:00

The beginning of September, means back to school for most people. For me it’s my birthday! This year, last week, I skipped off to the seaside to celebrate!

Maybe I should stick to crochet...

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-08-25T12:44:03+01:00

Who’d have thought one small sampled square
could cause such stress and despair.

I started with two shades of pink,
on sticks of bamboo,
I started to think
my stitches are tight,
gathered up like a ruffle,
not straight and flat,
I’m getting into a kerfuffle!

Also, I began to distress,
that my background was starting to digress

I would be left with no S to send in
just a slight sss sss sss
full of tight tangles and knots on the back

This is no good
How can one small S get the better of me?!
I am supposed to be a knitter
I want to show off my stitches in their glory

So again, I began
this time from my stash, some sock yarn,
doubled up for the back
in a shade of sky blue
my S would now stand out with its clashing hue

Cast on 60 stitches, on metal this time,
and tried to knit,
to the country I took a retreat
for distractions of the city would not let me sit

In the sun I sat,
in the peace of the surrounding green
I hadn’t a care in the world
and slipped up some stitches
some mistakes I had made had gone unseen

Back to the city, something had changed
my life suddenly felt all over in bits
I concentrated hard to finish my square
but something was not right
I had missed out a whole massive strip somewhere

So now there was no choice but to unravel
and rip back
half way
back down
but at least I haven’t reached the very bottom

Will I be able to make it back up to the top line?
Who knows, I’ll just have to knit it
one stitch at a time.

Knitapoem

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-08-16T00:05:01+01:00

I am knitting a letter ‘S’ for the Poetry Society. They want lots of knitted letters which will be sewn together to make up a secret poem, to be revealed in October. I wonder what its gonna be?

Print Monger

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-07-25T18:13:00+01:00

On Sundays, get yourself down to the Back Yard Market, off Brick Lane, where you will find the Print Monger, the stall for Print Club. You may also occasionally see me down there running the stall with some of my own prints!

Summer Craftwerk 2009

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-08-02T15:02:48+01:00

Yesterday I took my felt Cats on a trip to St Aloysius social club, in Euston for a bit of craftwerk, they made lots of new friends and admirers, and some of them even went off to new homes.

Sara Makes Things

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-07-19T14:50:00+01:00

You may notice at the bottom of my website menu, that I have recently added a shop! I have joined the community of etsy.com, and am currently working on putting items up on my page for you to buy!

How much is that kitty in the window?

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-06-25T17:33:45+01:00

I have recently entered the world of Olive Loves Alfie, a lovely boutique on Church Street, in Stoke Newington. It has everything I could wish for, bright vibrant colours, patterns, stunning design and japanese influences and a sense of magic in the clothing, accessories, toys, prints and products. Only thing is, its meant to be for little children, and I keep forgetting that at age 30, I am now supposed to be a grown up, and can’t fit into those cute tiny t-shirts! To my fortune, owner ( and former Red Or Dead shoe designer), Ashlyn Gibson spotted me wearing one of my felt cats in her boutique and thought they would be perfect to sell in her shop! My felt printed cats now hang in the window, waiting for small (and big) children to take them home...

Using my head

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-06-29T22:54:43+01:00

I have always been drawn towards making a head piece of some sort. With a wedding to attend last weekend, I thought I would make my own fascinator...

I had purchased a few meters of this coral lace from Dalson Mill Fabrics, in Ridley Road Market (my favourite shop at the moment!). I cut out all of the individual lace flowers, then hand stitched them onto the matching netting. Voila!

Wools & Crafts

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-06-13T15:54:55+01:00

I discovered this amazing little shop today on Blackstock Road, in Finsbury Park. Some of the ladies in my crochet group had mentioned it in passing, but I had no idea just how much stock they have! It was really hard to leave empty handed. I managed to only buy two items, some matching purple cotton to finish off my treble crochet granny square!

Finished Object?

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-05-30T14:13:59+01:00

Well, I have run out of time on my UFO, so I guess for now it is finished. I had intended to do something totally obscure and weird to transform an ordinary piece of knitting into some sculptural multi-coloured form. But when I received the unfinished cardigan, I couldn’t bare to make it odd, in saying that I think my colour choice has made it end up equally as an oddment! Anyway here’s the story behind it, then what I did...
Great Granny’s Oddment Cardigan. “This back of a cardigan was constructed from great granny’s sock oddments basket. From a mixture of 4ply blues and greens. Have you any oddments lying around?”…

The back instantly looked like it would make a rather lovely top. I found an odd ball of sock yarn and started crocheting around the edge, gave it a few ruffles, then it was transformed from an cast-off cardigan to a hyperbolic halter-neck!

UFO Project Administration Service

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-05-09T13:44:06+01:00

Rachael and Louise at Prick Your Finger are, for the next couple of months, becoming the administration service for a UFO project, which will result in an exhibition at the Jerwood Space. UFO being - Un Finished Object! This is aimed at all those knitting and crochet items that were once started then forgotten, another chance for these to have a lease of life. It sounded like a great project for me to get stuck into, so for the next couple of weeks I have put on hold my crochet and knits to finish off someone else’s UFO, and at the same time handing over a piece I had given up on.

This is a hat I started a while back, then used it as sample to practice my cable stitch on. It then got too tight for my head, and I got fed up of it. I wonder how it will turn out?

A day at the RCA

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-05-02T09:24:44+01:00

This is probably as close as I will get to being at the Royal College of Art! I went along for a day put on by the Crafts Council and ReachOutRCA, for Teachers / Craft Makers working with children,“Revival: Exploring Contemporary Ceramics, Jewellery and Textiles” It was so very inspiring to see the students work, and encouraged me again that this really is my area, and through looking around the studios, their standard of work is attainable for me , and yet at the same time, i don’t necessarily have to do an MA there and spend huge amounts of money to achieve my creativity, then again wouldn’t it be great...

Budgies for the love birds

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-05-05T21:37:30+01:00

An old friend from my art school days, got married at the weekend. It was a lovely barn wedding full of bunting, dancing, casks of ale, and plenty of food for us campers on the farm! Emma and Terry asked on the invite for presents, if any, to be handmade, so I screen printed them a pair of budgies.

A Little Bazaar...

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-04-24T08:51:38+01:00

Last night I took my hand screen printed felt cats on their first outing, down to The Albany, in Deptford for A Little Bazaar. I shared a stall with two lovely and creative ladies Parusha & Anita, and together we had a wealth of vintage, design and hand made craft on our table! We had lots of fun dancing about to a great DJ set, ate glitter cupcakes from the next stall, and tested punters on their bartering skills! My cats had a fair amount of interest, so I thought it was time to share them with you! If you would like to buy one, please email me!

Thank you Parusha & Anita and A Little Bazaar for a fun evening. x

The Viral Project

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-03-25T21:38:01+00:00

The Viral Project is a hands-on participatory project that can engage large numbers and a wide range of participants in exciting craft-making. Critical to the project is an exciting, fun, craft and inspired “viral casade” learning approach. The Viral Project will initially be a three year programme, focusing on different craft elements each year that act as a key theme and inspiration to investigate topical themes. The first year will focus on the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, encompassing crochet, geometry and ecology.

If you would like to be involved with this project, please contact Katy Bevan at the Crafts Council:

Limited Edition Screen Printed Book

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-04-22T06:04:49+01:00

The last month or so has been a hard slog. For some mad reason I decided to hand screen print a book. A selected collection of my bus drawings. With it being themed around my journeys on the 43 bus, I thought I should make 50 copies, just to round things up.
The first few pages printed off in their multiple copies was quite enjoyable - I can really say that I have the hang of screen printing now! Currently with my two small screens, I have had to re-coat for each different page, hence this process has seemed like forever.
But finally I can see light at the end of the tunnel, I have two more inside pages to print and the cover is half done! I don’t yet know exactly how many copies I will have, as there have been a few slip ups here and there. The next fun part will come with the folding of 300 pieces of A4 into A5, and then the binding...
Please email me if you want to reserve a copy, once they are gone, thats it! I won’t be printing this again!!

a short film for you...

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-02-26T23:04:49+00:00

Until I find a home for this somewhere on this site, it can live here. Enjoy. x

plastic bag turned hyperbolic

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-03-23T22:46:00+00:00

Sorry, not been on here for ages to post anything up, which, I guess is a good thing ‘cos it sort of means I’ve been busy doing other stuff. Here, is what I came up with after a few days working at the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia...Yet more hyperbolic crochet forms, working with stripped up plastic bags. This one is made with a bag from Marks & Sparks, and a few Accardo bags on the edge.

UK:DIY exhibition

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-02-16T21:11:48+00:00

Two of my images of my yarn bombs have been chosen to be included in the UK:DIY exhibition, currently being held at The Turnpike Gallery in Leigh. Its a bit out of my way to get to at the moment - but if you’re any way up by Manchester, please do check it out! And if you can’t get up there, you can view the images on flickr...

Bibliomancer's Dream

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-02-12T22:55:11+00:00

Thursday 12 February 2009 - Sunday 8 March 2009.
Bibliomancy is an ancient ritual that involves the random selection of a book and then a line or verse within that book to learn a truth, or inspire the imagination of the holder.
As part of Imagine Children's Festival, visit the magical library in The Clore Ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall, and delve into hundreds of books that hold secrets for you to discover.
The Bibliomancer’s Dream is an installation by artist Alinah Azadeh (with design engineering by Willow Winston and Terence Williams).

Sound Snow Sleighs

saramakesthings@me.com — 2008-12-10T21:15:45+00:00

I have been working for the Southbank Centre over the last week to help create a pair of Sound Snow Sleighs. I did most of the upholstering by hand, and now my fingers are really sore ( next time i will take my sewing machine with me!) But now its done it looks lovely, gleaming and snowlike!

Green Knit Graffiti

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-02-05T22:15:00+00:00

Today I had to go to the Southbank Centre for a meeting, and had a sudden idea before leaving my flat this morning, grabbed an old sample of knit that I did about a year ago - finally! I think I have found a use for it!!

After leaving the Royal Festival Hall, I headed over to the Skater Park to find the new home for my square of green knitting...

I was a bit nervy at first and thought someone was gonna come over and tell me off for doing stuff there, but no one did, I wish my whole bag full of yarn to string up there, with those pillars, I could do some installations like my previous work.
Anyway here’s what i got up to...

This piece is far too small for this amazing pillar.

Knitting resting on wall whilst i look for a better location.

I found a railing - perfect!

Tied on with a bit of pink yarn.

Looking out to the Thames.

One week later...

saramakesthings@me.com — 2009-02-02T23:46:00+00:00

10 minute costume

saramakesthings@me.com — 2008-11-02T14:26:44+00:00

After spending all day traveling up the country wating for delayed and cancelled trains trying to get back home, I had about half an hour to dump my bags, rest, make a cuppa, and get ready for the ATP’s Release the Bats, with Lightning Bolt playing first at 6.30 - we couldn’t be late. But I couldn’t go to a Halloween party without a costume so this was my super fast cardboard cut out and tin foil attempt. Of course it got completely crushed as I made it to the front of the mosh for Lightning Bolt!

Warped tree

saramakesthings@me.com — 2008-10-15T15:47:39+01:00

I went for a walk through Clissold Park the other week and look what I found!
Two trees that had been warped up together with red yarn.
This look so beautiful, I would love to know who did it.

Its still there now, a week later.
My friend spotted another tree wrapped and warped in the same way, in London Fields too.

Haircut

saramakesthings@me.com — 2008-08-11T23:02:39+01:00

I've been putting this off for months, going to the hairdressers is like torture for me, but if I'm looking for work maybe its best not to cut it myself this time.

hairdressers looking pretty but bored.

There was a young girl, maybe 5 or 6, waiting to get her hair done. She looked really sad.

hairdressers doing their fancy flicks and moves.

me in despair.

Move Me

saramakesthings@me.com — 2008-02-23T22:14:47+00:00

Basically what you need to know here is that i won a competition to have my artwork made as a poster to be displayed on the London Underground!! From 25th Feb - 10th March, go to the end of the south bound platform on the Victoria line at Highbury & Islington Station, and you will see my work! The drawing above was previewed at Rainbird Fine Art, as part of the exhibition organized by Islington Council. However Transport For London rejected this piece at being “a negative view of of their transport system” so they asked me for other work, i sent 3 images for them to choose from and all were put up - yeay for me!

Between the 12th Jan - 17th Feb 2008, Modern Art Oxford is opening its institutional doors free to the creative peoples of Oxford. After queing for 2 hours to submit my work, I can now join Jake & Dinos Chapman, Tracey Emin and Yoko Ono amongst others, to have exhibited in this fantastic space. See Below...

Shift. 2004. Pen, pencil & mascara on paper.
These drawings were executed whilst i was a gallery assistant at Modern Art Oxford. A shift from the duty of work, and the study of gallery visitors, reveals my underlying emotion at that time.

This YMCK video makes me happy!

I have been making a knitted balaclava - watch this space for further news why! Anyway, I got a bit inspired and went off on a colorful one to make this crocheted piece too! I was thinking that the whole idea for having a balaclava is to blend into the background, and to create a disguise - well I would love to find the place where this blends into...

i came across this animation and think this is so amazing, the Canadian band’s name Tricot Machine translates as knitting machine, they have some other really lovely tunes and videos too. This also reminds me, i have half the pieces of a knitting machine tucked away in a box waiting to be complete and to be used!!
