Bits and pieces
Hello everyone
do you still know me?
Kidding! I haven't been posting around here, but I've been patternhacking, grading and sewing up a storm, simply not for myself or to post it on the blog (yet).
Here are some bits and pieces I thought I can share already!
First up: I am testing a tablet for my dad and it came without a protector. So I knew I had to fix that issue (I was carrying it around in a wash cloth, go figure).
Since it won't be mine forever, I did not picked blue and pink flamingos for the sleeve, but something a little more neutral.
I used some cotton ikat for both lining and shell. I added some batting in between two layers and added a zip. Everything came from my stash. Total costs on material: €0,00.
Homemade vs store bought 1-0!
Next up is this pair of Amerson Undies. I tried some a long time ago, but for FESA 2013 I wanted to try some more. This time around I cut a smaller size, a medium, which fit way better than the L I cut last time based upon my measurements.
I used elastic, some cotton and thread from my stash. Yes, again it is hot pink thread. And all from my stash. Total costs on material: €0.00
Homemade vs store bought 2-0!
Last but not least... A long time ago the wonderful and hilarious Charlotte hosted a giveaway. I was the lucky person who won. International post can be a ***** every now and then and postal services decided they would be the nightmare version of themself this time around.
But ........ *drumroll*
It arrived! Check the date on the card! 29 JUNE 2013. It only took 4 MONTHS to get here. I could have travelled to the Americas by boat and back in the 19th century in this time span.
However. The package is fabulous. And I got a screw punch. From Martha Stewart. How cool is that. And the card and envelop say "see you later alligator". Charlotte, thank you so much!
