Doctor Who Craft Round Up: 2015 Edition


Late last week, I saw that Netflix was on the verge of losing shows from the BBC. Thankfully, that has not come to pass, thank Ood. Being the huge geeky gal that I am (as well as a massive anglophile in general), I was relieved to hear this news. I immediately watched the first three episodes of the reboot. I am not just a newbie, my local PBS station re-broadcast Tom Baker episodes when I was a kid. All I can say is that daleks are frightening as all get out when you are seven years old. This would-be catastrophe inspired me to do re-boot of my own. One of most popular posts ever was my original Doctor Who Craft Round Up. I decided it was time to do a new one based on things that I would like to make in the coming year. Allons-y!!




1. First, who doesn't love the fourth Doctor's scarf? But when is is actually practical to wear it? Enter the scarf bracelet. Perfection!

2. If you read this blog regularly, you know that that embroidery isn't just my hobby. It is my retirement plan. How lovely is this piece with 10's catch phrase AND his sonic.

3. Okay, wouldn't make a Weeping Angel for my own use, but I would love to see my students freak out ;)

4. C'mon--needle felting and a bunting? It's a no-brainer. 

5. I really think that I need a cute little Adipose buddy for when I am feeling chubby.

6. Wall + blue painter's tape = awesome. No tutorial really needed.

7. My next afghan, for realsies. I already downloaded the free pattern!

8. Bunting--another no-brainer.

9. A TARDIS charging box would make me feel like the fanciest geek in the department, and that's saying something.

I have created a Pinterest board dedicated to Doctor Who crafts. If any of you would like to include pins to that board, let me know!

Stitchy Saturday-Infinity Scarves




I will be the first to admit that I may not be the most fashion-forward lass out there, but I try. 
Luckily this year something that I love a wear all the time is a big trend. Scarves are everywhere this autumn and these infinity scarves are super simple to make.


I decided to do the prep work for two scarves at on time. For each scarf, cut a piece of fabric 18 inches wide and 60 inches long. I folded each in half along the long side with right sides together. I pinned the open side and stitched them into two long tubes.


Once they were stitched, I pulled them right side out and pinned the open edges of the tubes
together as much as possible. I stitched along the edge as far as I could with machine.
 Once I had a 3 inch gap, I pulled the fabric from the bottom of the loop. 


I hand stitched the opening shut with a quick whipstitch.


I ADORE these scarves and have since made several more. 
They only take about 10 minutes and jazz up any outfit!
