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.

Summer 2016, lost sewing projects.

This blog-post will be repeated more then once but with new pictures and new text during this summer as an update of “what I found and finished up”.

I wanted to sew a skirt or a jacket but I have to keep my budget strict this month, but during my search of an interesting pattern and not to complicated I found a bag of what I thought was just fabric. But oh so wrong I was, it was a start of a par of pants I stared on I think last Summer. Linen fabric, just so nice a warm Summer! Also something I have been thinking of “do I have any linen fabric at home?” And there it was. Such a nice feeling! I think I stopped those projects most because of lacking space and now I do have just that. Space. I have a hobby-room! 🙂

So I found my iron and started the new “face” of those pants. Iron them, sewing them together as far as I manage before my back “said” pain.

So this blog will be about all kind of “lost projects” I will find in all the hidden bags or boxes of fabric, which is quite much. I’ll also try to build a cloths-hanger during June because lack of space to hang my cloths, to my walk-in-closet by re-used parts from a bookshelf from the -50’s in metallic.
