can't believe it's been 11 years
since i first created this blog..
it's funny, because at the same times it feels like it was yesterday
and like it was eons ago.. if that makes any sense..
but what makes sense nowadays anyways, right
..
as per usual, i thought i did not sew a lot of stuff
but once i started gathering the photos there was a lot..
my favorites are two boilersuits
i absolutely love wearing them
and wouldn't mind having couple more..
b&w one is made in cotton sateen, green is linen
their only downside is that both fabrics are kinda thick
so both boilersuits are too hot to wear during summer
made a lot of dresses, as i tend to do
but only kept the navy one
the rest ended up in my store or i gifted them to friends
(my husband made that bag, isn't she a beaut)
i made one woolen coat
and couple of these light cotton ones with large pockets
and few robes too
tried another vikisews pattern and loved it
made some swimsuits for my store
and i really got into knitting this time..
made two sweaters for the kid, and started working on a third one,
made two sweaters for myself
and also a bunch of beanies and headbands
but mostly i sewed for my kid
must have made more than 30 garments for her..
i know it sounds like a lot, but half of it is leggings and shorts
so it wasn't a lot of work..
i find sewing for kids really fun
it's faster, uses less fabric and you can make crazy combos
and use all the colors and textures..
plus she's always thrilled no matter what i make
haven't really photographed much of the stuff
or to be more precise i did, but with my phone
and then my phone was stolen a bit over a month ago
and all the photos are lost..
but photos aside, having my phone stolen
is one of the greatest things that happened to me this year..
i always keep saying i don't have time for this or that
well, turns out i do have the time, i just spend it on the damn phone..
once it was out of my life all of the sudden
my day was 4-5 hours longer
and i could finally read all the books and watch all the series
go for a walk or sew or knit or cook
or, you know, just relax, i forgot how that feels..
of course, me being me, it didn't turn out too productive
i can't remember when was the last time i sewed anything
but i did watch all 7 seasons of clone wars
and read a huge pile of books and comics
and guess i'll get back to sewing, eventually
..
couple travel photos for the end..
and that would be it..
wish i can get back to blogging as i really miss it
gonna give it a try this year
unless i cave in and buy a new phone
(the one i use now is 20 years old and has no internet i love it)
