Last week was marked by very mixed emotions. Tears

Last week was marked by very mixed emotions. Tears of sorrow, tears of joy. My dear father passed away early this week at the blessed age of 93. On Friday my youngest son graduated as a Master of Bioscience Engineering. Magna cum laude, just as his two brothers did before him. We’re so proud of him. All his hard work paid off. I wish my dad could have seen his achievement. Something though tells me he’s above us now and looks down on us in agreement ❤️

Hi there!
I just finished this simple looking, summery dress. I’m absolutely delighted with it, but I don’t think it shows how much work got into this…The fabric, a lovely and lightweight viscose from @thefabricsales, was quite slippery to cut and sew. Also, I had to pay extra attention to the way every stripe ran horizontally, so I didn’t cut the patterns on folded fabric, which is quite time consuming. The loose-fitting dress (pattern Dana from @sewoveritlondon) has a covered button placket, which was a new for me. It reminded me of some sort of origami. And thanks to Instagram’s algoritm I learned a nice and easy way to sew a split hem, which does it for me 🤓

Cheese please? 🥺

The making of a backpack. Actually, I made three,

The making of a backpack. Actually, I made three, of which one is already in Mexico on the back of my youngest. The fabric appeared to be not that well waterproof so I treated them with a wax coating. I reused some reclaimed zippers from bags and a rain coat. And for the lining I used an old sheet and some repurposed shirts for the hem and inner pockets. Today I ordered some more technical fabrics to make a few more backpacks, now with better properties. Love to keep all of my sons happy!
