My slippers

By Sølvi Elise | 15/06/2009

> 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 trĂśja, there they were, my new slippers made by recycling an old sweater. I used some thick white woolen felt from Panduro for the soles, wich is nice and warm, and gives a great support. Only trouble with this is that they are a bit slippery. For the upper part of my slippers I used parts of an old white woolen cardigan. I once accidentally laundred it…

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 rouge? No, no. Still, I did know what pattern to use. I already have a pair of pantalon noir that I am satisfied with, so the pattern is the same as for those. Well, Christmas came, and I finally took the time to cut out the pieces and sew the first seams. And…

>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 mother uses it, and all my rings & things fill up a whole bureau.I, off course, am the only one to blame. In addition to buying a tremendous amount of stuff, I make things too. And that’s what this blog is about. Me making stuff. Stuff of any kind. I got the inspiration…

Sølvi Elise is wearing a selfmade shirt and heavy glasses

 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.
