Haha nah kidding. He was at a friends house kind of the whole day so mommy got some work done. (pictures below) The colors are not correct though, I had no natural light to take the pictures in. Autumn and all that. Anyway, I hope a girl in Sweden will be happy and feel like a princess!
All patterns are from Puperita except the hat one!
Yeah, where to start. Pandemic, yes, still on lockdown, schools are at least open half time.
My dad passed away after a year of cancer. So suddenly I had to find a way to get to Sweden, even though it was a pandemic. But I had some papers allowing me and Chris to go. We lived at my mums spare room, I got to say the last goodbye to my dad at the funeral.
But, I have also been up to things while staying inside and grieving. Sewing is AWESOME medicine!
And ofc… Getting FURIOUS at people trying to make a lot of money on people who wants mouth caps. 20!!! Euros for a mouth cap they way. Hell no. 3.50 I took for the materials for my friends. Since I am a company, I can’t give them for free 🙁 But I made 16 of them as requested from friends and need to make another 6 tomorrow or so for another friend.
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.
An old gaming (World of Warcraft) friend contacted me this weekend, asking if I could make something for him. And well, anyone who knows me, knows that I will not say no unless I think I can’t make it. So said and done. Today when C was at the neighbor, playing with his bestie, I had time to create. 1.5 hour from cutting the fabric til the text was on there. Not too bad 😀 The pattern is a Jelly shirt fro the creator Puperita. First one I make but not the last. Easy pattern and came out great!
So, I have bought some more patterns that I need to draw. I came over some woven fabric but I didn’t have any patterns for it. But thanks to Puperita, now I do! I also have washed ALL the fabrics to not have to wash all the clothes separately after making them. To save some water and electricity. So, after going to the supermarket, I am going to continue the drawing of patterns. I can’t wait til I am done so I can start creating! The picture is of pattern for headbands, nice use of scraps. Pattern is from Hallonsmula.
After a night of very little sleep, I at least got some things done today! After dropping my son at the school, I finished some stuff I started on Thursday. I love the fabric with ladybugs on! Reminds of a summer that is soon coming. So 3 garments were made. The shorts and romper pattern is from Puperita and the tank tops are pattern from Patterns for Pirates. It’s the first time I make any of them so quite proud of how they turned out. Tomorrow I am back to drawing patterns again.
Yep, that is what I have been doing the last week. Except for pressing on some shirts for a friend who went to a Backstreet boys concert and starting another friends wish, I have been drawing patterns. The hing is, there is like 8 or 9 sizes in a pattern, and 4-8 pattern pieces so… It is a lot of drawing and cutting. So I am doing it all now so I don’t have to do it later, then I can focus on sewing instead wohooo!
I have found a really awesome pattern creator, Puperita, found her on Etsy. I will have 8 or so, clothes from her patterns in my shop. Also, my favorites, Patterns for Pirates and it’s sister Made for Mermaids and Mamma can do it. Go check them out!
