Easter 2024, a mix of almost everything and my thoughts.

Easter -24, re-planting seeds.
I got a surprise outside my door, this Easter egg with candy 🍬.

I pulled myself together and forced myself to have enough energy to re-plant my seeds today even if my sad back really didn’t want it.  I managed to split all my growen seeds into 20 smaller pot’s 🤩

I’ll grow them indoors until the weather here are more stable with warmer weather.  I don’t have a clue if it will be in April, May or June.

I also had my first cup of coffee out on my terrace yesterday (March 30th) even if it wasn’t sun where I sat it was☀️ sunshine 😊 and (!) 🌡+11 °C 😊 some wind but hey it’s always wind here 😆😆.

My self drawing pattern trying to figure out how big/small baby size 62 are🤪
Same pattern on an other fabric.
The arm part, tiny!

I have tryed to find the right size of how big /tiny the pattern of size 62 would look like to on a baby dress. Interesting, frustration, annoying and fun all in the same time 🤪.

I have done things like I normally did before this season and before I lost Silver.  Even talked to Silver every day like I did when he was alive and it helps to get through the day’s. I have, I think, kind of find new routines. It’s kind of hard to know because it will not be the same after the Easter break. But hopefully it will help me to the next break – holiday season. 

After the Easter break I am back to work and then I have to figure out what I’ll do after work that will be new routines. Maybe I’ll sew more now when I don’t need to be social with my cat… Maybe the day’s will look like they did with Silver.

Whatever happens I am thankful for the love from the Lord and friends.

I am hoping I’ll have  more energy to do things that gives me positive energy like exercise, walks, Church things or sewing or meet new people. Mostly I won’t feel guilty for not being home with Silver and that makes me glad becauseIhavehad a lot of vad guiltforhim being home alone 😔.

I know I will be able to travel again later when my financial will be better without feeling guilty.

The shirt, the challenges, the fun part  and the end of this project.

I’ve shown you pieces of what I have done on & with this shirt. Here comes it all.

The start, made the sleeves longer and wanted to add other cotton fabric in the between where the needles are on the put.

After some changes to make it look propper I had to find fabric that would work together not just with the cotton but both way’s.  And here I’ve used the buttom part of a exercise top which the fabric is elastic and the bottom part is an old summer top with polyester fabric.

I needled it up  with the inside out to make sure the folds on the cotton fabric turned out right.  I haven’t used a pattern, just how I thought it would be easiest to do it.

Then I turned it inside in and the right side out. Took up all the needles one by one to get the fabric on the right side. The tricky part was fir sure the folds!

Sew the bottom piece on first and then the middle part.

Sorry for the background.

The very last part to do and sew is to make a band in the same fabric as the shirt and try to match the stripes 🤪 on the band with the shirt part.  See next picture.
