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!

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.

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.

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!

]]> 711 Orders done and now more patterns! https://thesewingswede.com/2019/06/01/orders-done-and-now-more-patterns/ Sat, 01 Jun 2019 06:24:11 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=247 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.

]]> 247 At least some things done! https://thesewingswede.com/2019/05/28/at-least-some-things-done/ Tue, 28 May 2019 16:52:08 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=204 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.

]]> 204 Drawing, cutting, drawing, cutting https://thesewingswede.com/2019/05/26/drawing-cutting-drawing-cutting/ Sun, 26 May 2019 06:00:09 +0000 https://thesewingswede.com/?p=193 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!
