EVERY SEASON IS JUMPSUIT SEASON

I'm continuing my -apparent- theme colours for this fall; here in a jumpsuit I sew myself in a dark, plum-brownish shade.I've noticed that sewing is perhaps the closest to a hobby I have, as I otherwise don't really have time for one (unless buying lipsticks counts as a hobby). While I have to do a...

FOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW: SUNDAY EVENING

Sunday evening moments -Corrected a final seam to a jumpsuit I sew myself last night and intend to wear to the very last filming of Vintage Valtakunta season 2 tomorrow.I also sew Dag a plush seal. It was the first plush toy I ever made. Dag has this new phase where ninjas have had to move over for...

A very long such, during which I have managed to manage more things and details...

CORDUROY

 Twenty two years and one month ago, pretty exactly, I started seventh grade wearing this same vest.And a black body (that was actually not a body but my mom's black gymnastics leotard) and a pair of batik-patterned loose trousers. I remember being very proud of that outfit.(I stepped in to a trendier...
