Sewjo where are you

Perhaps it’s because I don’t have a sewing space and takes me to move the  table (sometimes to a different room) the bring my sewing machine down (I have to keep it ware from little fingers) get all the bits and get ready…. So I just haven’t been sewing very much.

Hopefully the sewjo will come back. I did manage to drag the table from my original sewing space from living room by myself, but had to enlist husband’s help to take it back. And I did mend some trousers and joggers and shorten a pair of jeans. 



The shorten the jeans I used a nice reel tutorial from Instagram by Angeline Murphy. It’s very easy to follow and my came out little bit wonky so do not look too closely, but they are correct length now.

I mended two pairs of husbands work trousers as a chef has provided by work, and sometimes it rips and I don’t see the point of just buy new ones when you come fix something. And I also mended my older son joggers they went on the knee and they pretty much new! He is a very active child so that is expected.

I am excited to make some new projects, but I’m also back to gentle exercise and watching what I eat and drink, so I can lose a bit of roundness. I just don’t feel a strong and as fast as I want to be. I want to finish my toiled I have already cut out and ready Danika jumpsuit from the fibre mood! It’s actually the second attempt at that toile … as the 1st one I messed up but fabric wasn’t great and was fraying too much. 

Oh and on the subject of these jeans. They are Levi’s from charity shop!
