DOING SOME THINGS  while in lockdown

SELF CARE & DIYs







A FEW small SEWING PROJECTS
I will say it has been a chance these last weeks to get into finding new things to do or try. Last week
it was a requirement that we have to wear masks when going to the grocery stores or pharmacy, also when taking public transport.


So making  face masks was something to do , luckily I received as a gift a new sewing machine
which I have used a few times.  This time it was for making face masks and some lavender sachets.
simple things that make a difference! The lavender sachets are for the  lavender I have dried and can hang in the closet, it is such a divine fragrance. The smell is also helps to sleep if you
are having trouble to sleep. It is such a soothing smell.


I use to sew a lot before, things for kids, summer shorts and hats, baby quilts etc.
Now getting back into sewing is a bit like therapy. It is enjoyable and passes the time for now.  It can be one way to be creative if you are the creative sort.


So if your sewing machine is sitting in some corner gathering dust, perhaps try a few simple sewing projects during isolation.

Have FUN!
and share your sewing project ideas


PS; a few more sewing projects
NEW cushion covers??

Pockets please!!/ fashion

  Well as the title says…. Pocket s please!  This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally  managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything.  Why???  When I think back there usually  were pocket inserts nicely sewn  on inside of slacks or dresses.  Now you rarely find that .  I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in.  Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets.   Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets.  Do you like outfit with pockets?
