Me-Made-May: the second week
As summer finally arrived I found it both more easy, and more difficult to find something to wear. I have a lot of clothes, sundresses and skirts for the summer, but not all of them are appropriate for daily use, some are too up-dressed, and some are too “beachy”. I made a couple of new items this…
Read MoreThrift & the City
A couple of days ago I went out on a thrift shopping round. Wow, did I get lucky! I found fabrics for a whole bunch of fun summer projects, and some for the autumn as well. This plaid fabric is an old bed sheet that at the moment is cut, and is to become a pair…
Read MoreSpring – where are you?
Alright so the sun is shining today, and the birds are singing and flowers are blossoming, but still I miss that  spring feel. You know, a warm breeze that makes you want to be outside all day. I still miss that. We have only had a few days like that for the last couple of weeks. I…

Read MoreMy slippers
> My slippers needed a vacation, or actually, they needed retirement. My lovely, warm, cozy slippers needed a replacement. What to do? Well, I digged out my crafting litterature, and in the Swedish book Do Redo : konsten att slakta en tröja, there they were, my new slippers made by recycling an old sweater. I…
Read More>Le pantalon rouge!
Finally. Le pantalon rouge is finished! Le pantalon rouge as an idea has existed for quite a while. Anders has been talking about me sewing a pair for at least a year and a half. Then, last summer I found a suiting red fabric at Ohlssons tyger. Did this inspire me to sew le pantalon…
Read More>Cushions
>I like cushions.They brighten up the living room, they can just as well be pretty as silly, and you can make them out of almost anything. That’s fantastic. These three cushions here are all made out of stuff I had laying around (except for the velvet, which I bought half a meter of, realizing it…
Read More>When I was a little girl, I owned a small ceramic pot where I could store my precious jewelry. Written across the front were the words: Rings & things. I think there were some flowers on it too. I really liked it. I think it looked a little something like this: Now I think my…
