FO: FRONT DRAPE SHIRT

I spend last week-end sewing. A lot. And pattern drafting and altering and sewing some more. Then spring came on Sunday and since then, I have been using this sign a lot:   And have not really been concerned about taking pics of my FOs… I am taking some...

FABRIC

The other day Anne commented on my sewing room, asking me where I kept my stash(es). I answered that I don’t have a big fabric stash and that the little I have is in an upstairs closet. It got me thinking, though, and I began to feel the need for a little fabric...

E-READER COVER. A HOW-TO..

I’ve showed you the cover before. Remember how I got an e-reader just before Christmas? I had to make a cover for it, so I sort of winged it. I did manage to take a few pictures, so let’s call it a tutorial… How to make a cover for your e-reader:...

FO: POLKA DOTS

I thought I’d show you what happened to (some) of the polka dotted fabric I showed you last week. I made a very fast lose fitting kimono sleeved top from it. Fast project, very few seams. I finished the neckline with a self fabric ribbing, did the seams on my...

SEWING ROOM TOUR

So I thought, that maybe you would like to see where I work with fabric and yarn and books and paper. I got a room of my own the summer before last, when we suddenly had two teen-agers in the house and my workspace on the upstairs landing was getting a...

SPRING 2012 FASHION

Well, I do not claim to be a trendsetter, or even a trend-spotter. But I have gotten pretty good at looking at trends from catwalks and in stores and reading articles and combining and concentrate them to figure out what I think are going to be the big trend items in...

FOS (not foes)

Hello Here I am junping out from my slight SADness and back into the life of light and creativety. I have been doing my job and taking care of my shop, my family and little else. I think it’s been worse this year than the other years. Maybe because of my dayjob...
FO: THE BOAT NECK JUMPER

FO: THE BOAT NECK JUMPER

Yes! It is done! And more importantly – I love it! I wore it today (all though I haven’t blocked it yet, and it does need to be blocked) because it was cold and grey this morning and I felt like wearing a silky hug. So I did:-) This is a top-down boat neck...

GIFTING

It is funny how this seems to surprise me every year – right after my son’s birthday (on November 29). But the Christmas season is very near, if I like it or not (I am very ambivalent about Christmas. It’s a long story. Let’s just say this...
FO: A CHRISTMAS-Y T-SHIRT

FO: A CHRISTMAS-Y T-SHIRT

Wow. That week flew by too. Last Friday I had a Christmas party thing with Dennis’ siblings in the evening. And I needed something christmassy to wear.  I had cut the t-shirt from red jersey the previous week, but had not got around to sewing anything....
FO: A BABY DRESS

FO: A BABY DRESS

I KNOW! Imagine sewing for somebody who is not me! Well. I wanted a small in-between-projects project, so I had time to decide what to sew for me next. Also. I wanted to figure out how I can get more sewing done. This was a usual semi-busy weeek, with no time for a...
FO: THAT 60’S DRESS

FO: THAT 60’S DRESS

It is done. I finally took some time yesterday, when I was not too tired, to finish the 60’s dress. All I needed to do was to sew in the facing, press the seaming and then press the facing in place (while waiting f o r e v e r for the tiny bit of seam to cool...
