Super tired brain, on Friday 8th of November also second day back at work and still on sickleave but only 50%. Spinning brain and dizzyness is my common feeling when I get tired from all the noises at work [I mean it would be kind of wierd if the kids didn’t make noises, I do work in a school]. But with fatigue symptoms and spinning brain, my brain can’t cope with high noises, which it’s a lot of in this generation of kids. And the only thing that really works as medicin is sewing 🧵😊.
So, after work on Friday the 8th, I got home 1.30 pm and made my coffee and had a need of sewing but didn’t really know what to sew. Two weeks ago I got a huge bag of second hand clothes from a friend, maybe I could upcycling something from that bag? So I looked through and I knew I had hot several pairs of old jeans. Maybe I could upcycle a pair of jeans into a warmer skirt? That became my goal. 😊.
I didn’t know how long – how many hours I needed to sew to get my brain ” back to non spinning situation “. So I just did what I always do when I sew. I make it on the way – how it will look like. My main focus was to use as much wool fabric as possible but I also wanted colours. And if I could, colours closer to the nature.
I was sewing 🧵 for 6,5 hours on Friday 🤩.
Saturday 9th, I started where I left it. Need to unpick a back pocket, because I wanted to used it an other place on the skirt.
Here is the skirt after 7 hours of sewing on Saturday 😉.
Sunday morning the 10th, trying it on, I realised I need more colours in the front. I found some ocra yellow wool fabric 🤩, and I don’t like things symetric as most people 😆😆 so I made it very me 😆😆😊.
