Paper for iPad
So, this is a sketch I drew in the iPad app Paper. All digital, and just using my index finger. Kind of cool, right?

So, this one week, one pattern thing isn’t really working out for me. It´s more half a week, one pattern. Or one week, plenty of patterns… I’ll tell you this much, this is not the time of the month to be wearing high-waisted pencil skirts, nuff said… I’ ll destract you with some awards instead!…

I wanted to make some changes to the ol´blog, so I went into maintenance mode yesterday, and have been working on changing the layout of the blog, making a new header and adding some tabs. Hope you´ll like it! 🙂 Oh, and if you find any bugs, don´t hesitate to tell me about them!
Read MoreHow do you use online sewing resources?
Hi everyone, and a belated happy holiday to you all! I was having a Twitter conversation with the darling Sarah, asking for advice on an online forum for sewing, similar to what Ravelry is for knitters and crocheters. She came up with some great suggestions, like My Sewing Circle, and the forums at The Sew Weekly…
Read MoreA gift.
My darling came home from a conference in Seattle today, and he brought with him a gift for me: I´ve been following Design Sponge for years, loving all the DIY´s, the design inspiration and the Biz Ladies posts. So imagine my excitement when I unwrapped this gift! Last week I used a tutorial from the…

My blue fabric is still uncut, and I am being very indecisive about it all. The thing is, it has such a wonderful sheen, and a plain pencil skirt wouldn´t do that much justice. I´m thinking that some pleats or tucks would help to enhance that quality. Ahhh! The choices! Some ideas for summer clothing. A part…

I love word games and puns. And I especially love to make new words out of two existing ones. Might be a teeny-tiny bit dorky, but hey – that is just the way I am… Take the words spring and inspiration. Springspiration. I am really better at this in norwegian, for obvious reasons, but if…

Like other northerners, I find it hard to find the time to get decent pics for my blog this time of year. I have tons of projects to show you, I´ve finished some knitting projects, I´ve made two dresses for myself, the muslin for my friends dress, almost finished a pencil skirt and started on…
