10 reasons why it's a good day!

1. I'm free from work. (Switched my regular day off, from monday to friday).

2. The sun is shining and it's warm! Summer is finally here!

3. I'm planning on putting my feet up outside in the shade, with a cold drink, a great book I'm reading at the moment and leaving all the worries of the world behind me.

4. I have a lot of household-things to take care of but, WHO CARES, first I'm gonna pick up my skirt and finish it!

5. I had my 2nd fysio-appointment this morning and had a reassuring talk!

6. If it's not too hot on sunday I have a daytrip planned with a friend and her husband, to Volendam!  (Pictures promised)

7. Holland got through to the 1/8-finals in the world-championship-soccer.

8. After several attempts to fix the tube of my bike, I called the bike-shop, they took care of it and now my bike is finally repaired. And it's great weather to make a tour. (I could do with the exercise!!)

9. My sewing-mojo is returning slowly but surely! I want to buy tons of fabric and that's a good sign!

10. I'm just so happy to be back on the road to recovery.



Sending you all a sunny smile and wishing you a great weekend!!!

My preferred way of finishing necklines and armscyes on a knit shirt

Image
This week I'm enjoying my autumn break. A whole week to do some much needed sewing. The plan is to do some easy sewing. Nothing too complicated. Last friday I started on a cardigan for which I revisited the pattern I used  here  and   here . And my next make is already finished as well: a nightgown, made from a lovely cotton jersey which is a dream to work with! I already made one before with the same type of fabric (black with flowers) and it gets worn a lot. The fabric I used is bought with this nightgown in mind. I thought it would be fun to show you how I finished the neckline and armscyes. It's a very easy method and I prefer it over the method where you fold the band and sew it on, double layered. It's a thin line between stretching the band too much and causing puckers or not stretching it enough so it won't lay flat. For me it's hard to get that right. But with this foldover method it's actually easy-peasy.  Make sure when you cut your pattern you don...

Let's start 2011 with Top 3b from KnipMode 2008-08

Image
Yoohooo...best wishes for 2011 everyone!!! I hope you all had a great time celebrating. I know I'm a bit late. But the fact is that I spent the last week in bed because of a flu that had me down in more than one way. Things seem to be looking up however and it was about time I showed my face. O, wait, that's another story. I'm not showing my face yet for I have an infection on my chin at the place where a mole has been removed 5 weeks ago. It was for pure cosmetical reasons and I can't seem to shut up that little voice in the back of my head saying: "Serves you right for being vaaaaain...!!". I have some cream for it since yesterday and next monday I'm gonna pay my physician another visit to have it checked. I was hoping for a recovery with an almost invisible scar. Now I'm just hoping for a recovery. Strange, how easy you adjust your expectations. Luckily I have a very pretty, headless model in my house. That's right, The Blue Lady. And she ...

My (re)view on KnipMode September 2015 - The Make-over

Image
Months ago it was announced : Knipmode was going to get a make-over. Main change was gonna be an adjustment in the range of sizes. Each pattern was going to be offered in sizes 34 to 54. And as it goes with everything that is announced far in advance, suddenly the day has come that you find the new magazine in your mailbox. In this post I would like to give my opinion on the changes that have been made. Feel free to disagree.  From: KnipMode Magazine - September 2015 The first thing you notice is the size of the magazine . I didn’t measure it but I think that it’s about an 1/2 inch larger in width and 1 inch in height. Does that matter? I think it does. Apart from more room for larger pictures, they used a larger font size for the descriptions, which is easy on the eyes. Next thing  is the cover . The previous covers were made of shiny paper. Now it’s matte, firmer and more solid. Nice! Altough I cherish my old issues of KM and Burda, more th...
