A little dress

The good thing about not being able to move so much is that one has all the time in the world to finish unfinished projects. This dress is one of them. It hang without a zipper for months in my closet... and now it is finished. Yeee!

This is how it looks on me ... Uups.

Better. It's a bit short maybe?

Recycled jeans bag

I started this project months ago by spraying some hearts into an old pair of jeans.

 Finally, today I took the scissors out and I cut out the pockets, to get started.

Next, I cut two squares of equal size ...

... I cut and sew the bottom of the bag and two side pieces.

I took the label from the jeans and added it to one of the sides as decoration.

Then, suddenly, my 40-year-old sewing machine stopped making proper stiches .... Hmmm ...

So, I took a Cup of tea to calm down 😊

Next, the zipper, a cute one.

And then the belt, that allowed me a bit of crocheting outside, in the lovely summerish weather, finally!

And the recycled jeans bag is ready!

Granny's shawl 2016

I have always wanted a granny-like shawl to put on my shoulders when the nights get cool on summer time. So, I decided to crochet one.
