I have made another pair of Tierras from Itch to Stitch. I love this pattern! SO easy to make, it takes a couple of hours and thats that! And they are very comfy!
Pants fitting – the mystery of the back thigh wrinkles solved!
I have been sewing a few more Tierras, I really like this pattern! I shaved some of the leg width, and ended up making a straight size 8, making low butt adjustment and flat but adjustment (by making the pointy part a bit shorter)- they fit really well now, even though I could make a …
FINALLY summer! Tierras woven joggers
Finally, finally, finally! After a loooong grey winter (and fall), and endless “spring” with low temperatures, rain ond no sun at all – now spring is here! It is so lovely with the birds singing, the sun shining, the blue sky! Yay. But also, I have no pants to wear.. I have army shorts, I …
The RTW fast that grew into a buy-nothing year
So, I have committed to a RTW fast for all 2018, meaning that the ONLY clothing items I am allowed to buy are shoes and underwear/ swimwear. It started very well, I felt inspired to sew a lot of things, and clearing out my wardrobe. I have always lived in tiny spaces, so I am …
Capsule-wardrobe-ish vol. 2
So, I have been cleaning out my closet, my kitchen, everything, getting rid of stuff I don’t need. I find it liberating not to have all this excess stuff. But also some times difficult, as my trouble removing dresses from my closet; I had 15 dresses, and really only need 3: One in jersey, 1 …
Capsule wardrobe-ish
I was inspired by a great FB group I’m in (Capsule Wardrobe sew along), where someone linked to this. Very inspiring! So yesterday I made a spreadsheet with all my clothes. If I don’t count shoes and underwear/ swimwear/ stockings etc, I have 147 items (!), even though I have been donating like crazy the …
Nancy sweater
Finally I finished my knitting project! I fell in love with this sweater, and knitted the whole thing (I am NOT experienced so this was a huge task). When I was all done, I found out that I had the tension all wrong, so it was huge in a very bad way. Argh! But I …
Pants fitting vol. a million – at least!
I have to admit that I am close to giving up now. I have made a lot of muslins, read several books, spend a lot of time googling, watching youtube instructions on pants fitting and discussing these issues with nice people. But no progress at all. At all!!!!!! I suspect that my pants issue (fabric …
More Halla slim Dolman
Ok, so I made another Halla, am wearing them with my Grreenstyle Chelsea pants – and this will be my last dolman post, as I can see that I will make A LOT more of these, also as short sleeved versions! Love this pattern! So, as I was leaving for an easter family thing today, …
Greenstyle Chelsea pants in stretch denim
I am still in my easy-sewing-phase, and have been eyeing the pants with a bit more volume in the bottom. I have the Lianas and the Thurlowe, and have made a mash-up, but just didn’t feel like making them. Too much work.. I needed an easy project! After a bit of Googling I found the …
