2022 Year in review: The Dresses
So, I´ve not documented most anything of my makes for 2022, I think. Let me see…(goes to check IG)…that´s not entirely true, I published som pyrography and a bouncy bunch of some knits and corduroys, but apart from that – nothing. Didn´t even post anything for MeMadeMay this year. Such is my social media fatigue.…
Read MoreLearning through blogging.
Time flies while sewing and having fun Do you knew it´s been almost ten years since I started blogging? In the beginning I wrote very random stuff in Norwegian. At the time I had only just begun to sew, and I saw myself more as a crocheter than anything else. After finding futuregirl.com, I was…
Read MoreFO: Ginger jeans
Ginger Jeans from Closet Case Files. What´s left to say? Everybody´s been raving about them, and I for one knew in the instance I saw them, that I needed them. Knowing that Heather Lou makes the bestest patterns, from making a couple of Netties, I knew I was in safe hands. The perfect fit…
Read MoreWhy not try and make a plan and then stick to it?
the making of a plan I went through my yarn stash recently. Since I no longer knit much (because of some neck/back issues), I thought it wise to free up some space by letting go of some of my yarn. That felt really good. So this morning I went through my fabric stash. Now, not…
Read MoreFO: Cocoon cardigan from burdastyle easy fashion

Read MoreMe Made May 2014 – a review.
Another Me-Made-May is over, another lesson learned. As always I had a wonderful time, enjoying the company of all the brilliant participants, and I would like to say thank you for all the lovely comments and likes I received. You guys are the bestest! In retrospect, I see that my ambitions for this…
Read MoreFO: Wool Fleece Jacket
Last summer we went to visit my family who have a cottage on a remote island off the coast of North-Western Norway. This is a place where summer is defined not by temperature, but by availability (the island is more or less unavailable during the winter months because of weather), so bringing some practical garments was…
Read MoreTamanegi- Kobo Heather: Peace!
Well, as part of my MMM- pledge, I promised myself to blog about the things I wear that are previously unblogged so here we are, my first installation. There is not much more I can say about my love for the Heather, this is my fourth version, and it probably won´t be my last. What…
Read MoreMe Made May 2014
It´s that time of the year. My favorite holiday (IMO MMM is an holiday): Me Made May! Are you excited? I am excited. So. Last year my resolution looked a little something like this: “I, Sølvi of delfinelise.com, endeavor to wear only me-mades throughout the month of May 2013 (with the exception of tights, footwear, national costume and…
