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.
But now it is almost Easter I will have a perfect time for a blog with updates because I will try to have a Non Media Easter as much as possible.
I just have been in my packing mode... and still am.
This is how I feel.
So, what have I’ve done since last blog… well that is a good question! I have been sewing a lot for customers, for myself and I’ve been packing more then less every day and I have been going to the gym twice a week.
Re-sewed tiny baggypants to really baggypants.what I’ve sewed in February.
Re-sewed 2ndhand cloths.to the left, “when you only need one pocket” & a mini toilette bag.
In January I started this «non media fasting» because I got challenge to do that. February was not a month where I was «away» from media as in a week or not even seven days in a row. But I was not checking Facebook or Instagram every day which is in the right direction I want. I don’t have the need to post new things and I don’t have a need to check what’s happening on Facebook every day, which is the most often places I visit. And to realize that I don’t have a «need» is so relaxing! But I will try my best to not be on media this Easter, which I wrote in the beginning of this blog-post.
relaxing cup of tea.
Ten years back I was a very social person. I just had to be social with friends, later-on I was «hooked» on Facebook which isn’t good either. Now I just enjoy to be home take it easy, sew when I feel for it or read a good book. I don’t «hang» with friends more often then twice a month and those times are most likely a movie night during the dark part of the year or a rainy summer-day. I meet friends from Church every week except when it’s Easter or and other Holiday because I have a House Church I’ll join. (House Church is a smaller group of people that meets from Church once a week in someone’s home, we share the last week with each other, praying for each other and sometimes we also sing.)
March came and is nearly gone… and I can’t really say what I have done more then I’ve got in to a good rhythm with going to the gym… I was a part of a Christian Conference for Woman that is called Jesus Woman (Jesus Kvinner Nordisk 2016) in Oslo, Norway
and then few days later my back «crashed» because I was overdoing what my back could handle a pertinently… But I am doing fine now and trying to walk a bit more now when the snow and ice is gone.
It is for real Springtime outside. I love it even if I have some problems with the pollen.. And the rest of this month, I’ll actually pack the rest of the boxes and all that’s left to pack because I’m moving next weekend. I’m not moving far, but I upgrade from the basement apartment (on 25sqm) where I live now to the loft apartment and 15sqm bigger. 🙂 where I will be able to have a room just for my creativity! 🙂 and I will also go to Sweden and get a cat from my bonus baby-sister. And I haven’t had a cat in 19 years (!) but it will be nice to come home to something I’ll get feedback from when I say something.
My tower of boxes…Cat-carrier and Silver I receive during Easter.
I know very well its been a long time since I wrote anything here. I have been in both a course and work experience and not enough energy to update. Life is not always about the blogging sometimes its just to be able to get the feet on the floor and do what necessary to do.
I have been sewing a bit here and there since last blog-post, so I will this time share the pictures of whats been started and some of it also finished.
This project is a homemade purse, as far as I have done..Inspiration of the one I have but off course with more colors. The fabric is both bought and printed in Dalarna, Sweden.
This is my terrasse, cushions with re-sewed covers from an old bed linen.
How to sew a skirt out of answeater.
This is pattern to sew, something I never used before mostly because I have never ever been sewing cloths not even during the school-time. So I have to start somewhere and I don’t have such big apartment so I have to use my kitchen floor.
I will try to blog a bit more about my experience how hard it is to sew cloths without any kind of experience of that field.
