Easter 2023, not how I thought it would be.

I got cold at work Wednesday the 29th of March and I had sore throat and fever Friday 31st of March. Gaaa. Fever at work is never fun! But I did work. That Friday evening didn’t I have any energy in my body. I was laying flat in the couch the whole weekend. On Monday 3rd of April I had one appointment in Sandnes – to pick up my new spectacles (glasses), so I took paracetamol and headed in to Sandnes and did that only thing, headed home an hour later and that were what I “had” energy to.

The red par is my normal glasses and then I got a par of glasses for computer or sewing as I use them for.

With new glasses at home and the trip outdoors, the day after I had more fever…Gaaa. Not what I wanted but just reality. I have been in the couch all day’s since Monday. Only had some extra energy the last two evenings where I have trying to understand a dress-pattern.

And when I thought I understood it, I went on next step – drawing up.

Got company of Silver, who doesn’t understand that I am doing other things on the floor then gonna be with him <3. I have got so far that my next step is to sew it all together, but not yet. To less energy and to much pain in the body :-((((

This dress, if that’s what it actually ends up as, is my very first try to sew a dress after a pattern! And if I manage I will use this pattern to many more and get good on this before I try an other pattern. My goal is to concer this task. I do want to be able to just buy fabric I like and then sew a dress that fits my body. And if you wonder, I am between sizes S and M in most exept the length. Everything in Small is to short on the length but fits good or perfect in my waist. My hips are “to wide” for a Medium and yes too short in the legs.

This is my length on this dress, look at the bottom of this dresslength – the last 10cm is my addition.

An other thing I had energy to do yesterday (Friday 7th of April) was to give my seeds new soil and divide the little flowers I sowed as seeds two weeks ago.

My only goal today (8th of April) is to force myself to the grocery store (the only day here i Norway the stores are open during Easter) and buy paracetamol for my headache before 4pm. Which I managed – Happy and free from pain after 6pm. And from that (no pain) I got energy to put into my dress-project.

It actually looks like a dress.

Tomorrow I will try it on and see how tight I will sew it and where to put a zipper, which I haven’t figured out yet…

Creative July 2019

July has nearly past.

A quite efficient month when it comes to sewing and redesign.

In the beginning of this month I sewed this toilet map that I use for my medication I need to have close for all kind of reasons, I did it by night just because I can, was awake and it’s Summer. 😉 The fabric was once a rain jacket, and now re-designed. It works perfect for it’s use!

This is my tunic (below) that before was a dress, long enough for me but I didn’t like the end of it so I cut it off and hand sewed the edges but after that I bought silk-needles for sewing machine I managed to sew it better and it looks even better now. I’m happy I managed to get over my *hate off silk.

Here, below, is two sewing-projects that I nearly just started. To the left, African cotton fabric that was a tunic and that I want to become Summer pants. To the right, also a tunic before with pattern I have sewn on to become shorts. Fabric linen. we’ll see how that goes in the end.

This is an other silk top project that I started last Summer and I just had to pack it away in last August-18 not really finish. And this July I finished it, by taking up old stitches, sew again, made it fit and shorten it. Now I’m happy with it and can pick up other projects that need to be fixed before I start to work in the middle of August-19. 🙂 (picture below)

In August it will hopefully be some more projects that has been on pause for a while, I can’t wait to start. I’m so thankful for chilly days like today and I’m hoping for some more. Warm day’s means less work for me, so like today when we have +18C I would have been sewing but not today… Maybe tomorrow.

Creative December part 1.

Its been pasting few weeks since last time I wrote here on my blog just because I have been creative. And I have also been on a trip to my mom which took a bit of my blogging-time. We celebrated her on her 75th Birthday. So time has just fly by..

So today I am gonna give you the taste of what I have made so far in December this year. It will be mainly pictures of how I made the Christmas decorations out of things I had home and how easy it can be. I hope you like it. It will hopefully come more from the rest of December that is left.

So enjoy!
