had a sewing break this summer. The break actually went on a bit longer than wanted 😅😅. Because of my “new” life as student I have been needed to find new routines… and sewing hasn’t fitted into that for the past month 😥.
Still trying out the layout…
…not happy with how it sat on me… so I started on scratch…
…with a new linning from an other pair of jeans and….
But took it up two weeks ago (around the 13th of September-25).
…still trying out the layout on what fabric I want and where… this is in September-25.
What an where…thinking process.
And I most often needs few weeks or months until I know how I want it 😅.
Thursday 25th of September after 4+1,5 hours of digital teaching (theory) my brain just couldn’t take in more and I sat down with my skirt project. Still the only thing that works on my brain. Managed to finish it so much that I could try it and wear it to my House Church, and see and feel if it was something missing. Got home two hours later and even if I was super tired I fixed the last small touches to be perfect for my taste.
I have been collecting coffee bags for the past two years mostly because I wanted to be able to make something new. Upcycling is a huge part of my sewing. I do it because I like to see what is possible to redesign and how I can make something new from an old product. It has started to become part of my thoughts on sustainability. What can I do with the things I live on and use in my everyday life in a sustainable way?
So, during the last day’s of packing (down) my apartment I realised I had too many blankets 🤪 and needed something or somewhere to put them in my new apartment.
I started to sew coffee bags together, and realised how many I needed 🤪 and actually had 😯😅.
Here am I just sewing bags together.
Here is one of the sides becoming the actual size.
During my sewing I realised I needed stability on the four sides 😅😆. I used old cardboard boxes.
Four of five sides on.
Here us it full with blankets and floor pillows 🤩.
I got exactly what I had need of 🤩😍. I just wished I had a semi-sewing machine 🙂🙃. For those of you who don’t know what a semi-sewing machine is, they have a longer sewing arm for bigger projects 😉. And they are for house hold, the next step in sewing machine is the industry type.
I hope I have inspired some of you to do more out the everyday things you have at home and upcycling for our world’s future!
This last weekend was productive 😊😊. I finished the blue cocktail dress
And I got help from a friend to fix the hem on my summer-curtain dress…
And I sew the waist band after more room on the top part so I can breath…
Walking in gale towards the gym.
And I got out to the gym 🤩🤩. Walked for 20min and then on the treadmill for 10min 💪.
Went through 4 machines and then home.
And last week I started on something new – a challenge – to sew a dress from 2 pair of jeans legs (because I cut off the waist part to the orange skirt).
Last minute skirt which I made in 5 hours 😊😆🤪. I didn’t have a Christmas skirt so at 11pm the 17th of December-24, got I an idea in my head 😆😆. “If I cut a pair of jeans so I can redesign my red wool sweater into a Christmas skirt!” Which I did. I cut the jeans just before I went to bed.
The 18th of December after work I used five hours on sewing the skirt just so I would be able to wear it the 19th at work 😆😆. It got a bit to short to my long legs 😆😆. But I wear it.
The sweater was a bit to see-through so I added thick wowen cotton fabric under.
Just a bit too short to my length 😆
After love used it I made it longer with the neck part of the sweater 😉.
Here is it in full length on little Christmas eve the 23rd 😉. I travelled in it and that was perfect! It hold me warm 😊.
January 2025, more sewing 😊.
While I am finishing the blue cocktail dress which takes a bit longer time than I thought… Have I upcycling another skirt 😉.
In 2012, I bought my sewing machine and started to sew.
This was once a sweater…
In 2012 the sweater became a skirt.
I just cutter off the neck part on the sweater and put elastic band in the waist.
I was never really satisfied with how it sat on me but it was one of my first upcycling- skirts. I have now upcycling it one more time 😊😊.
The inspiration colour to the second upcycling, black and orange.
Since the first upcycled jeans skirt with a sweater or just random fabric, have I wanted a orange skirt. Now I finally have it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
Once I got a pair of jeans send to me from a person I actually never met. I jeans was with 38″ (inches) and didn’t fit the other person. Those jeans has been hanging in my wardrobe for more than a year… So now it’s time to redesign them!
I started with the decorations Friday 17th.
Purple is the contrast colour to Orange.
I tried with other things first, picked it up and now I go for Black in the front.
I’ll continue sewing on my orange skirt this weekend (17th – 19th of January) so I can use it this spring 😊.
This is a glimpse of my 2024. Lot’s I have done and learn. And 2025 will be an other year of learning more new things!
I am looking forward to what the Lord has for me this year! Challenges or not. Continuing get know my newest friends even better, continuing learning more, challenging myself, become a even better teacher for the future, learn to listen more to the Lord, enjoying life more, get out in the nature more, drive more, sew more!
I wish you all a blessed New Year of 2025 🎇❗️.
I started on a dress yesterday the 31st of December and finishing it today 1st of January 😉.
Just wanted to finish it. Not that I thought I would need one more 😆😆 but, I do need more than one bikini. Therefor will I sew a matching bikini buttom to this green top.
I started on this in 2020.
Wanted a bikini buttom that matched the bikini top. Here have I used what was ment to be a summer dress but I used it to sleep in during the summer.
I am between sizes, the sizes you find in the stores 🤪 . Their for it’s easier to sew something that fits my body. Their for adjustment is nessesary. Try it on my body to know it fits and I dislike to go shopping and trying things on.
I sew to challenges myself to become better but also offcourse to be able to have clothing that fits my tall body!
I found another bikini top 😆 and going to finish that too, but this one will have a twist 😊.
To be 6’2 ( or 189cm) doesn’t come with just happiness just because I am tall, as most people are jealous on. No it comes with a lot more challenges. We who are taller than 5’10 have the challenges to find clothes long enough or fit all the other curvers, weight, longer upper torso than legs or the opposite. Not something we find in a normal clothing store! (It is easier to be shorter because you can shorten clothes than make one item longer!)
Most of my tall friends buy clothes in online stores that has started their own business just because they never found clothes for their body or in online stores that has been approached to get clothes for tall people. I do too, mostly for Jeans and sweaters.
Sewing is not just a hobby for me, as many of my friends and students asks. No it’s more than that! It is mostly to be able to get clothes my style and learn to sew 🧵✂️my wardrobe 😊. But it also is to save the planet. If we sew, we can choose the fabric. Use what we already have and redesign it into upcycling or choose naturally fabric we know is good for the environment!
I was looking for a new bikini but didn’t find any good colour or size but I did found 2 top’s on sale 🤩. In perfect colour! And what did I think? Well, I can use those 2 top’s to sew my bikini 🤩🤩.
After this bargain on sale, I met a friend and celebrated with a dessert (read about it in the post’s Driving Licence part 1 – 7) down in the city.
My dessert My friend’s dessert.
And after that I bought a whole watermelon 🤩🤩, got home sewed a bit and while doing that a friend from my house church came by with a flower as a congratulations greeting
I got this dress after some of my old colleagues, last years work place (Bore school) when they had a ‘Change your wardrobe Day with clothes you don’t want but maybe your colleague like’
Which I got for free in June 23.
I took it out of my sewing project box yesterday (1st of January 24) to get some ideas of what kind of fabric could work on it.
After trying the dress on I figured I needed to change the fabric around the arms.
Second fabric… could work even more but…
And they both could work for sure! But it was not what I wanted. I wanted something more fun & crazy like me 😆😆.
And today (second of January) I went to my favorite fabric store to buy new needles 📍 and there it was! The cool fabric 🤩🤩🤩 and enough (2,8 meters) and on sale 🤩🤩🤩.
This will be so fun! I will do it so asymetric as possible. Orange and black is perfect! Playful, crazy and fun!
I bought this fabric in January and still in June haven’t I found the pattern I want 😔🤪 for this dress. I will use the undergown (the inside dress) because it fit’s me.
I’ve shown you pieces of what I have done on & with this shirt. Here comes it all.
The start, made the sleeves longer and wanted to add other cotton fabric in the between where the needles are on the put.
After some changes to make it look propper I had to find fabric that would work together not just with the cotton but both way’s. And here I’ve used the buttom part of a exercise top which the fabric is elastic and the bottom part is an old summer top with polyester fabric.
I needled it up with the inside out to make sure the folds on the cotton fabric turned out right. I haven’t used a pattern, just how I thought it would be easiest to do it.
Then I turned it inside in and the right side out. Took up all the needles one by one to get the fabric on the right side. The tricky part was fir sure the folds!
Sew the bottom piece on first and then the middle part.
Sorry for the background.
The very last part to do and sew is to make a band in the same fabric as the shirt and try to match the stripes 🤪 on the band with the shirt part. See next picture.
I will have a small break, need to go (as in walk) to the grocery store before I can start to sew. I hope it works as I wish 🤞🤞🤞.
✔️ my back did good on my walk home with a heavy backpack (approxy 8-10kilogram)
and some extra energy in my body I did some gardening
Before.
After the exercise to rake all those leaves 🍂🍁 out of this space in this garden. I used one hour! 💪💪🥵🥵
2 off those was filled and lot’s more needs to being taken care of but not today.
Was out for 1 hour and 20 minutes 💪💪💪🥵😊. In the couch, where I’m now resting mostly the back, so ready for a shower and dinner. But dinner has to wait because I need to make it before I eat it…
Today I went out and bought 7 new plastic boxes for my sewingroom, to get a better system for all my fabric 😍😍. Love it!
As soon as I get my salary (12th every month) will I order shelfs! But this, just the boxes, helps so much. I know I need few more to be where I want it. One step at the time = patience.
Her will I give you some pictures from parts of the process of my 3rd #jeansskirt I’ve done.
Be creative. Coffee is needed. Bust for making clothes. Inspiration
B4 the changes.
The results.
This Jeans skirt took much longer time to sew then most other cloths I’ve done. Mainly because of my injuries in my coxxy last January. When it’s painful to sit for longer periods it’s hard to finish a project. But thanks to my seat-pillow (my xmas gift to myself) I have been able to sew so much more lately 😍😍. So now it’s the next project. Jogging pants made by sweaters “hoodies”.
The two 🎁gifts🎁 I bought to myself was just what I needed this Xmas! One was the memory foam seat pillow and the other a newer smartphone with better storage and better camera 😍😍. And this was only happening cauce of the blessing I recieved just before my payment (salary).
Memory foam seat pillow (cussion).
And cauce of this new pillow I have finally been able to pick up my sewing 🧵 projects again 😍😍.
This skirt, I started on in January 2020, is now very soon finish. Missing one seam and four buttons.
This is the two dresses I sewed this spring and summer, I just gonna fix what I couldn’t finish cause of back issues.
This is the white dress (2ndhand curtains) I bought this Summer.
Gonna fix an issue, on my pillow cases,I’m gonna sew band on them for a better fit on the actually pillow.
This skirt did I start on in 2021 after that I found a whole I couldn’t fix 😆. It’s now gonna become the skirt I want 😊.
It is severel sewing projects I now can fix thanks the my “magic pillow ” that do wonders with my back 😊. So since I tryed it until now I have been sewing as much as I can between being free from work amd working extra this week in SFO. And I am looking forward for get all those projects finish soon.
I have more energy after approxy 6pm mostly and therefor I’ll start with my projects later in a Day. For the last day’s I’ve started on “finding the right pattern”. You who sew probobly understand what I mean. For the rest of you, when you buy an old pattern you get a sheet of all the different parts in one sheet and then the challenge is to find all the parts. You’ll see in the end of this blog what I mean.
The first pattern here is; Linen pants in sand color.
Linen patns, my leg lenght (91cm or 35 ⁵³/₆₄ inch).
I measuredd my waist, cut a 10cm wide waist, fold it and sewed it and then I thought how cool it would be to sew a more fancy fabric on the inside. Both for fun and for comfty.
Fancy fabric on the inside of the waist.
I thought the same thing for the pockets.
The same fancy fabric on the inside of the pockets.
So I will sew pants in linen in my lenght 🤩. My legs are tall, cause I am 6″2’1 or 189cm. (My torso is quite tall to for my hight, which will be interesting when I start to sew more fitable dresses ^^haha^^.) My innerseam on pants are 91cm or 35 ⁵³/₆₄ inch = tall woman ;-). I got a par of linen pants years ago but they ar ea bit wide in the waist… and this summer I got linen fabric from a girlfriend and yes there we are. 🙂
The 2nd pattern & the 2nd dress here is: “fancy dress” the white curtain.
To find the right pattern isn’t easy…
But I did it 😍 Do you see the lines I filled in? That’s the pattern.
So I went to my candycstore – selfmade – and bought what I needed and asked about the pattern. How to understand it and how it actually is gonna look, how to cut it right and then what kind of fabric I need under.
A lady helped me with all my questions 😊😊
And when I got home I started to cut new pieces and for one piece I had sew two together a seam you only notice when you know it’s there 😊
And I’ve overlocked all the pieces tonight.
Tomorrow comes the big challenge to sew all pieces together 🤪 a challenge I am both looking forward to and are totally scarred for.
But here are tonight’s picture after the folding the fabric right, cutting of new pieces, overlocking.
Here it comes 🤩🤩🤩🤩 the Blue curtain length. Today’s 3rd project and I am so happy I did it 🤩🤩🤩.
I did my style. A bit wider in the neck and a fold-over-point a bit lower then my waist, just because it looked better when I tryed it on. Next picture is from the orginal pattern.
This week have I had my birthday at work on Wednesday, which my only wish were to hear the approxy 80 stundents in the 2nd grade to sing the Norwegian happy birthday song, which they did!! 🙂 It made my day 🙂 I normally don’t celebrate my birthday on the day if it’s not on a Friday or in the weekend. Mainly cause I don’t have many friends to celebrate with or a hubby/ or boyfriend.
I had a doctor appoinment May 5th, I got an sickleave for 50% and 22 day’s, if my leader at the after-school program don’t let me be off 50% my doctor will change it to 100% sickleave those 22 day’s. I really need to be off the after-school-program for a while. My doctor told me I got depression. That’s why I don’t have motivation, or smile or have any extra energy over. And I have felt like this off and on since October 22…. I haven’t had a job until now, where I have felt like this. But to be able to be on sickleave is good. I could probobly also be on 100% sickleave but then it would probobly feel like I had some kind of Holiday in my body. So 50% helps me in the way I get up to something and get out of the house and help some young students. I’ll meet with those colleges I like and don’t get negative feedback from. I still don’t like the age of students but now it’s only approxy 30 school day’s left with all the Holly day’s in May and June we have here in Norway.
I celebrated myself this Friday with sushi buffè in Stavanger after my doctor appoinment. The best Sushi I’ve eaten in many years :-). So totally worth the money!! But I am now keen to try out other sushi places in Stavanger and Sandnes – which is my town. I also forced myself to go out after the work day was over, went out with a new friend here in Sandnes. We went to one of the few places that still was open, Egon is a restaurante.I got an alcohol free drink called Passion Explotion and my friend got a baked potatoe with meat. We chatted and had a good time, sat for approxy 2,5 hours 🙂 . But wow I were so tired in my brain when I got home 😦 Got in bed before the normal time during a job-week!
Saturday I spent at home, realxing and sewing 🙂 . Just what I needed. And I think I also landed in the fact I am on sickleave too, in my head. Realizing how tired my brain gets after doing almost nothing… And how good I feel when I am working on a sewing project 🙂 . Which I did yesterday 🙂 . I were able to do quite a lot on my yellow summer dressI’ll show you how far I got. It was +16 C degrees and sunny outside I were indoors ^^haha^^.
I have during the last few months starting to getting to know few new people, some of them I can now call my new friends. They are both Christians and non-christians just like I like it.
I have had a hope of be able to start go to a church this year, so far I haven’t, mostly cause of headaches or other type of pain in my body during the weekends… but now it’s my brain… My body wants more then my brain can handle… It sucks! But I do ‘tend’ to online church most Sundays. Today I have worship on, on my laptop. Worship is something I also try to listen to on my way to work to re-fill my soul and heart. …You know the feeling when you know you slept enough but when you start doing something your eyes just want to close… ‘Tired brain syndrom’ . That’s how it’s right now, while I am writing… I just want to sleep a bit more… Maybe I go for a nap later. Maybe I’ll just try to continue on my sewing project we’ll see.
Do you know how hard it is to get “the picture” out and look just the same in real life? It’s hard. I am prefering to my yellow summer dress. I have a picture in my head of how I want it to look, but I can’t say I’ll manage to get it like that. Maybe when I am done. Which in that case would be marvelous and fantastic!! But I am getting there 🙂 If I only do small steps I know it will end up like my inner picture 🙂
Maybe you remember the post where I told you about my newest machine, the overlocker.
Well, today started with headache but, I managed to get out. And managed to go to one of my favorite stores. A fabric and equipment store (which just have change theire name too) Selfmade (something I hadn’t reflect on until I got into the store)😆😆
Happines comes in different ways.
Mine is sewing. Buy the things I need to sew. It’s like a candy store of happines.
My happines.
So I bought this. My Christmas gift from ❤Mom❤. So I can start use my overlocker 🤩.
And pattern so I finally can learn to sew after pattern. 😄😆.
To finish up some sewing projects that has been laying around in pails and waiting. And start new projects 🤩😆.
I still need one important thing– a good chair… But I am getting closer 🤩🤩🤩.
I’ll be in mycityOslothisChristmastoo but this Christmas will I both do things and afford to do things. 😍 Last year I had to stay in Oslo because I didn’t afford to go away for X-mas. I made it and survived.
I have a plan.
I will go on a daytriptoSweden and by typical Christmas food I like and grow up with, before the Christmas weekend. It will be nice to “getaway” just for a day too. I am already looking forward that and planing. Butfirst I have to finish for the Christmas Holiday in the Hotel. I have Holiday from the 18th of December until the 2nd of January. I don’t think I have had such long Holiday since school-time, ten years ago or longer! 😍
The smartphone was a early X-mas gift to myself but I will also finallyby a kitchenmachine I have been wanting for at least the last 3 years and not been able to by. Lookingforwardto be able to bakemoreagain! (Not the most expensive but it’s a start). I ordered it yesterday (the 5th of December). 😍😍
I will joinsomeChristmasparty, go to the cinema by myself or maybe with friends, watchmovies on the television, bake, live, enjoylife, relax, sewing and I have to applyforjobs… but I believe time will fly fast ☺ and I havemycat‘ssoIamnotalone 😍
It’s a bit sad in one way that I can’t celebrate Christmas with my own family (brothers and kids because of my cat’s 😯) but I’ve done it before… Iwillandhavetostayfocusedandpositive.
To you who read my post or blog, I wish you a Great time in December and in all the preparation for Christmas!
Some time has past since last blog post.. It’s been a bit like a roller coaster of things that’s I’ve done, tryed and didn’t work. Some might say I should have try it longer but I know my body and brain.
I got an opportunity in the beginning of November, I start a new work experience outside Oslo, in Drammen. I started. But I got a “bug” in my body that same night and was sick for totally seven days.. Got out of it realising that job didn’t fit me. Maybe the hard experience but I am Thankful for the opportunity I got and learned something about myself.
So here I am going back to my old work experience place and I’m pleased with it.
I have also updated myself with a new smartphone (with the opportunity to write on my phone here in wordpress). The old one started to do things I didn’t like, like turning the volume on by its self… So now I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge with a lot of gigabytes!
I will now be able to post blogs more often -Yay! ;;-)
I made a Birthday gift during November and send it to Sweden, to my nephew I’ll post the picture next time just because I don’t know yet if he got it. Cotton fabric letters in making and gonna be sewed on a pillowcase. This was the start.
December is here and everyone is so “in to” gifts and decoration . I have 2 cat’s at home …and that’s a challenging to decorate! But I have started ☺
High enough away for them, in the top of the window .
The Christmas church haven’t they tryed to do anything with. ☺
But the Christmas tree is very interesting! Because it’s plastic and my cat girl P-Sussi loves to chew on everything that is plastic…. she also Love to sit in a bags…
Yesterday was it the 28th of December and here in Norway that’s apart of what they call «romjula» it’s the days after Christmas and before New Years-eve. And for me have those days in the between been days of «getting out in the snow and play» or if it was a bad winter stay inside and play with puzzle since I was a child but as an adult it’s most become «the traveling back to home time» from wherever I have been for Christmas. But this Christmas and all days of December I have been in Oslo, the city I live in. Different but very okay. I have had more then just interesting days! I have had an experience I did not see would come. A positive experience!
I have had time with just myself, do just what I wanted or not wanted to do. It has been a very relaxing Christmas. And we got snow on the 27th of December – Yay!!
Yesterday was one of those slow days with a surprising cool thing. I went on Facebook just to check one thing and there one of my friends that lives in the state right now, was awake and on her way for work. And she said that the girls would be up at 5:45 am (9 hours behind us in Norway), and that she had told them that also meet her in the kitchen for early breakfast which for me meant Skype time with all three of them. Happy happy happy feeling. Most because I have not really heard much from the other two in a while. It was a good ending of Christmas for me! It is always nice to have the opportunity to catch up with friends especially over Skype when the friends does not live in the same country as I am living in!
The next thing I was doing was one of those things I have done for the last few years in the end of the old year and before the new starts, to write down Goals and Dreams for the year ahead. It is not a necessary to follow it but I am aloud do add things if I am in a situation that reminds me of a dream or goal. And one of my goals is exercising, to do it twice a week and get my body on an other level, get stronger physical and be able to stand against sickness more. And one of my dreams are to be able to travel more.
When I woke up today (not early morning) the snow was and is still here. The light from the snow is indescribable. It means so much for me to have snow during the winter, not just because I “always had it as young” no more because it lighten everything up it does get light with snow because it reflect the little daylight we have this time of the year, which is not much. And something else that reflect is our life, how we live it, how and what we show others. If you and I respect each and other and what’s going on in our life’s it will reflect to those we meet every day. It is the same with family, friends, cow-workers and people we just meet randomly in life. How do you want to your life to reflect on the ones you meet?
To respect a person for what’s going on in the persons life is so important but, yes it is a but here, but if you do not respect a person how will that person be able to respect you? I have been in a situation for some years where some of my family do not respect me in the way of the I am still single, that I have not met someone to share my life with. Those in my family “have been nagging” about “I should get married” like it is the easiest thing in the world… or “have you met someone yet?” like when is it there business? I respect them – those in my family – for what ever they do why can not they do the same for me?
This year that is nearly over… It is only two days left today. As an adult the days runs over to the next fast and if it is December today and January in two days is not the biggest different for me as it was when I was a child. It was such a bigger different then when I was a child. When did that disappeared? 2015 has been an interesting year in many ways. I have learn to be more patient in areas I did not have and I have learn new things from the course I started in sept-14 and ended this summer. I have got new friends, been there for friends that needed me in an other way then the years behind me. My faith has made me stronger. I have had fights I did not wanted but that I can see was good to have. I have learn that distance to my mom and her sickness has not made me weaker but stronger. I have learned to deal with things I did not know how to deal with it. I feel I have grown this year in knowledge, as a person, as a friend and with God in my faith.
I have had time to be creative in the way I needed to be. I have learned to sew after cloth pattern something I never done before. I have had costumers and still have two left that will slide over to the next year. And I will end this year with some sewing and be with friends. And I am looking forward for what next year has to come with! I am curious about next year!
I am thankful for this year.
I am thankful for my friends and my Church.
I am thankful for where I live and where I am gonna move.
Når klær ikkje blir brukt heime hos meg blir dei enten levert til Fretex eller sydd om til noko anna som går å bruke.
Denne sommeren har eg prøvd å sy ting eg kan bruke og lære meg å sy klær til meg sjøl. Så det eg har sydd i det siste er ei lita veske som ein gong var ein sommerkjole (sjå bilder over denne teksten) og ein anna sommerkjole som bare har henget i garderoben dei siste to årene, bleiv nu ein sommerskørt.
Eg har og sydd mine fyrste par sommer bukser, etter å bare ha teikna av andre bukser som mal, sydd sammen (inklusive litt spretting). Det eineste eg mangler for å kunne ta dei bruk er snor i livet så dei ikkje detter av. 😉
Den siste månaden har eg begynnt med ein Sommerveske / Beach bag, mest fordi at eg trengte ein og fant ikje noken i butikkane som eg likte. Tanken på å lage ein sjøl har funnets i mitt hue i mange mange år, men eg har liksom ikje turt pluss at det er jo kun det siste året som eg har hat min egen symaksin. 😉
“Projektene begynner i hue mitt og tar alt frå dager til noken veker før dei blir til.”
Per idag er den halvferdig, inni mellom gjer eg “såklart” andre ting for å ikje bli frustrert på at eg mangler tekstilstoff eller glidlås. Eit anna projekt som eg begynte med i hue imens eg var på ferie i Sverige no i slutten av Juni, var å sy bukser. Viss eg bare klarer av å sy bukser ved å teikne av andre bukser å sy, vil eg jo ha mulegheten å lage mange par bukser som passer å ikje dra på butikker å prøve meg fram eller bestille via nettet. Eg vil og ha mulegheten til å designe dem sjøl akkurat så som eg vil i farver el med mønster. 😉
“Å vere Nybegynner skaper ei spesiell glede hos meg som gjer det enda meir Gøy å skape.”
Alt dette er eit nytt område for meg, å eg gleder meg kvar gong eg tar meg for eit nytt projekt, til kva eg klarer. Så lenge det bare er til meg sjøl gjer det ikje noke at dei er “litt skeive” eller ikje heilt perfekt. Å vere nybegynner er gøy, tålmodighetsprøvande, skaper meir nysjerrighet hos meg sjøl og glede!
“Når det ikje er ein trenningsøkt på Actic eller Jobbsøkjerdag”
Ingen dag er den andre lik var det noken som sa og det stemmer vel for dei fleste her i livet også for meg. Noken dager i løpa av veken er det ei trenningsøkt på Actic, ei anna kvell er det sosialt med husgruppen eller bare vere litt sosial med noken få vener. Dette passer meg veldig bra, Det er ganske ofte då som ideene kommer – skapes – når eg er sammen med andre alt utifrå kva samtalen går i.
“Klær til oss høgare enn normalen.”
Dette med å sy egne klær har “blomstret opp” siden eg bleiv kjent med ein gjeng gode høge mennesker. Å med høge (lange) mener eg alt over 180cm og oppover. Vi som er høgareenn normalen har vanskligare enn mange andre med å finne lange nok bukser, kjoler, skjørt som ikje blir miniskjørt etc. Og det som eg sjøl har reflektert over i denne sammenhengen er, at eg har jo vuri “høgare enn alle andre” ganske lenge. Korfor har eg ikje kommet fram til dette før ? Korfor er det sån at eg blitt så påvirket av andres meninger om kor eg/vi finner klær og sko ?? Har eg reflektert over dette før? – sikkert. Men der og då har det bare suset forbi og blitt glemt eller “eg kan jo ikje sy uansett”-tankje… For det er jo litt interessant at ein større gruppe mennesker har påvirket meg så masse. Men alt i alt er eg takknæmleg for at eg har blitt påvirket, påvirket til å prøve meg fram. Påvirket til det bedre! Kanskje til og med påvirket til å bli nok flink til å ta opp bestillinger, kvem veit. 😉
