Learning by misstakes, part 2.

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.

Folding the fabric right.
The edges fit each other 😊
Finished overlocking.

Happiness.

Colorexperimenting without chemicals at home.

How often do you  think “can I color at home without chemicals?” Like old day’s. Or how do I do it?

I’ve been on Google searching for this. I found out that one way to figure it out is to actually try by your self. Just remember to ad 1 spoon of salt when you boil it! I boiled each color for minimum 20 minutes.

I wanted to find out if I could coloring at home without chemicals mostly because I know the chemicals isn’t good for me, the fabric or the environment.

I chosed to try red onion 

I can’t say it colored much but it was white before.

Saffron ..

Green tea…

Curry …

Coffee-beans and filter coffee ..

Remember to ad 1 spoon of salt when you wash it afterwards and together with similar colors in the machine.

Have fun!
