Starry Pants
I finished the pants above for Frida yesterday – apparently they work well for climbing trees! I have had the star fabric for a while – I think I got it at Stof & Stil. The pattern is from Ottobre... Continue reading →

A Little Sewing
Yesterday we had a very nice afternoon after we all got home. The girls spent a while jumping and playing on the trampoline, and it was a joy to watch how Ronja took good care of little sister – doesn’t... Continue reading →
Feel Good Pants
This last couple of evenings, I have been making a pair of pants for me – the second evening accompanied by my mother who has been visiting for three days – it’s a good thing to have a creative companion.... Continue reading →

Oldie but goodie
So I did it again – I made another pair of the Onion pants from pattern 20022. It’s my fourth pair made from this pattern, but Ronja is growing out of the first two ones, and they just really work... Continue reading →
