Spooky Sewing! My Halloween Makes

October 20, 2023October 13, 2023 Lizzie Violet

In this video, I’m going to chat about all of my Halloween makes and some of our Halloween traditions! I hope you enjoy my makes! Please let me know what some of your traditions are in the comments!

I’m not sure if anyone else will catch it but at the 5:56 mark there is some clapping. No one was at home with me and I didn’t clap (you will see me put my hands together, but I 100% was not the one clapping)… spoooooky!

A more detailed blog post is on my Patreon (you can follow for free). The link is below.

Batty About Bats Beret Knitalong

October 1, 2023October 1, 2023 Lizzie Violet

On October 1, 2023 we will officially celebrate the launch of my very first knitting pattern, The Batty About Bats Beret with a knit-a-long! If you are interested in joining the knit-a-long, please keep reading!

The Batty About Bats Beret is based on beret patterns of the 1930s and inspired by Halloween publicity photos, taken of starlets of the time, including Clara Bow! I have chosen to adorn the spooky beret with bats. Why? I may be obsessed with them!

The Batty About Bats Beret is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn and is suitable for advanced beginners and above. However, if you are a beginner and are confident in the swirling mysteries of this beret, then please give it a try!

The Batty About Bats Beret Knit-a-long will be hosted on Discord and Ravelry (please see links below). The knit-a-long will run from October 1st until October 31st (the most spookiest day of the year). The beret is a quick knit and you should be able to finish it in a few days!

Cricut and Vintage Reproduction

August 4, 2021 Lizzie Violet

I’ve been dreaming of owning a Cricut machine for many, many moons! I’ve been very intrigued by all of the magical things it can do. Guess what my husband bought me for my birthday? If you guessed a Cricut Explore Air 2 {not sponsored — I wish}, you’d be correct!!! {I have some bday money from my parents and will be buying an Easy Press}

If you are unfamiliar with what a Cricut is, it’s the ultimate crafters machine. It has many functions, such as: cutting all sorts of designs from materials like fabric, felt, paper, vinyl, card stock, and iron-on transfers (these are just a few). You can also use it for drawing, etching and scoring. I’ve even seen some use it for cutting out sewing patterns (depending on the size of paper/materials), creating embroidery/cross stitch patterns and for garment making. At first I thought I would mostly be using it for garment making/embellishing, but I’m now dreaming up plans for so much more!

{If you want to go down a deep rabbit hole, there are millions of vintage clipart SVG files out there — especially on Etsy}

Another thing I’ve come to consider, is I can use the Cricut for branding. I can create clothing labels, tags, business cards, stickers, greeting cards and other business related projects. I’m going to be upping my game with this dream machine.

The projects I am currently planning with my Cricut are some vintage Halloween goodies, t-shirt transfers and POODLE SKIRTS! Yes. Poodle skirts with a Killer Kitsch Twist! I’ve included a slide show below of some inspirations!

If you want to learn more about the machine, I will be listing a bunch of social media/blogs/YouTube I am currently following/watching.
