Off me and Marie went to look and feel on fabrics. I found 2 fabrics for my son (look at the picture) and I bought the tracing paper that I needed. Marie found a cute fabric for her dogs pillow. But the major things was, WE were out among OTHER people! For the first time in what feels like forever! Had to show our vaccination app when going for a coffee but that was all. No restrictions or anything!

]]> 6383 Long time no blog! https://thesewingswede.com/2021/09/21/long-time-no-blog/ https://thesewingswede.com/2021/09/21/long-time-no-blog/#comments Tue, 21 Sep 2021 06:33:47 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=6334 Well, it has been quite a while since I last wrote here. The main reason is that the webpage service I had was SUPER slow and stuff like creating post didn’t work very well. So it took away all the joy of sharing my thoughts and creations away. But!!! Now I have “moved” service so I am back! Added some items in the shop last night and will add them on Facebook today or tomorrow. Here is what I have worked with since I last blogged:

I will post here at least once a week though 🙂

So, here are this weeks creations! Hats hats hats!!!! Plenty of HATS! For a gaming friend, for my sons teachers and some friends. Hats everywhere!

Also, I made a small forest of Christmas trees, pattern from #patternsforpirates

]]> 6195 School closed https://thesewingswede.com/2020/11/02/school-closed/ Mon, 02 Nov 2020 10:05:51 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=6156 This week didn’t quite go as I had planned it to. Yesterday we got a message that my sons school is closed the whole week because of 3 teachers tested positive with Covid19. So, the plans I had went down the drain and instead I have to figure out other things that I can do downstairs. Like fabric Christmas trees. ????

Pattern for the tree is from patterns for pirates!

As usual when I have been away from my work, I have PLENTY of ideas what to make of what.

We have been celebrating my youngest brother (he turned 25 years), my son (turns 5 in a week) and my mum who turns 59 the 2nd November. Plenty of hugs and cakes!

And I refilled my sweet Tweety who had gotten old and colorless!

]]> 6135 Got some sewing done today! https://thesewingswede.com/2020/04/03/got-some-sewing-done-today/ Fri, 03 Apr 2020 20:09:34 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=5972 It has been a week or so since the last time I saw my machines. Been planning and cutting fabrics and of course, having your kid at home, makes everything go a bit slower. But yeah, I do prefer being with him anyway hehe. But today I finally got to sew a bit. 2 finished items! One for my son and the other for his bestie. The shirts pattern is Swank T-shirt and the skit, butterfly skirt, both from Puperita.

]]> 5972 Birthday and lockdown https://thesewingswede.com/2020/04/02/birthday-and-lockdown/ Thu, 02 Apr 2020 16:13:35 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=5964 Yep, you got to live it all they say. Birthday in lockdown. Me and my 2 boys. My son decided that we needed chocolate cake with candles so I was shopping for candles yesterday. He also bought some extra cookies so we could eat a lot (his words). He has been SO VERY EXCITED the whole day that it is his mommy’s birthday, he has been asking every 3 mins when we are having cake lol. My partner had decorated the livingroom this morning before I came up! I got some awesome gifts! Poffertjes (google it lol) pan and a humidifier! And I got a lovely bouquet from my very dear friend in the street. I will certainly remember this one way or another hehe.

]]> 5964 Coron lockdown and to stay sane! https://thesewingswede.com/2020/04/01/coron-lockdown-and-to-stay-sane/ Wed, 01 Apr 2020 17:24:02 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=5950 Just like the rest of the world kind of, we are in a lockdown here in NL. Which means everything is closed (except for supermarkets, essential shops and pharmacies and stuff like that) and we have the kids at home. My kid is so far doing great with this. I have found enough things to keep him entertained + the weather has been awesome so he is outside playing a lot. The rule of stay inside does not apply to kids under 12. They are allowed to be outside and play together. So, here are some of the things we have done so far. Plus an awesome fabric I am going to make a shirt for my son of.

]]> 5950 A thank you note https://thesewingswede.com/2020/03/07/a-thank-you-note/ Sat, 07 Mar 2020 18:42:51 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=5907 So, I was thinking how to solve the whole “how to wash and iron” in the clothes. Since I make a lot of small clothes, ironing tags in there will not look good. So I am going to print a thank you note with washing instructions and add that to the packages I give when I have finished an order. That should be a nice way of getting what you ordered?
