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

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

 POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months.  One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face  when it’s windy outside.  It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days .  A pop of color is nice to see during the winter  season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice.  The Accessories .  I love to add a few accessories also.  Bracelets add a little interest to the look .  The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good  , as well as the multi twist bracelet.  Ps  The photo does not show the true color .  It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull .  After a few retakes no change.  Camera issues. 

DRESS. It up//fashion style

DRess It Up A simple grey knit top  is something I had been looking for sometime. Grey is not usually my pick,  but I thought time to try some other neutral shade.  The top is tunic style and loose fitting . Definitely a comfort piece.  I decided to add some different accessories to it.  This shiny silver piece just a bit of interest to the plain top.  Accessories are really a great way to give an outfit a different look.      Love this multi strand necklace . It suits this knit top, not to delicate but fun and an interesting piece.
