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! Both Donna and Mary have awarded me these past few weeks, and I haven’t been able to do anyting about it until now. Thank you so much ladies! So here it goes!

 Hi there! I´m Sølvi Elise. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. This is a space where I share my craft projects and thoughts and ideas concerning handmade in a consumerist world.
I live in Oslo, Norway where I use my spare time stitching up my own wardrobe. So far, I´d say that 80 % of my closet is filled with me-mades. I also have an interest in historical sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, leatherwork, tablet weaving, rigid heddle loom- weaving, cocktails, jewelry making, makramÊ, shoe making, drawing, paper craft, machine knitting and generally any craft that looks like fun.
