    Pimp your bike (Free crochet pattern for a skirt guard included!)

    April 10, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Pimping your bicycle is a nice project. I crocheted a skirt guard and made a nice basket liner that uses old pillow case lace as a decoration. To add some more refashioning, I turned old baby mitten holders into bicycle skirt garters.

    Trying out 3D-printing and laser cutting

    March 18, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Testasin Ison Omenan Pajaa ja kokelin 3D-printtausta, laserleikkuria ja vinyylileikkuria. I tested the maker's space "Paja" at the local library and tried out 3D-printing, laser cutting and a vinyl cutter.

I decided to challenge all sewers, knitters, crafters etc. to answer 10 questions about their hobby! Below are the questions.

    Make your own sewist’s notebook! (Free printable templates!)

    July 17, 2017 / 13 Comments

    Update: I have collected all the Sewist’s notebook related templates and posts on one page. There you can find also more templates the number of which will grow in the future! I have been working with something special for you, my dear readers! I often get ideas of future sewing projects while I’m sitting on a bus or in bed just falling asleep.

    Pandas, wrist warmers and a suspender skirt

    April 20, 2017 / No Comments

    One of the S’s favourite blouses is the yellow one that I made of soft cotton lawn since it has a pattern of cute little pandas on it. The pattern for the blouse comes from Yoshiko Tsukioris wonderful book Girly style wardrobe. Now that I’m leafing through the book once more, I don’t understand why this is the only pattern I’ve sewed from this book. The book is so full of super cute dresses and tunics! The suspender skirt pattern I got from here. Since the pattern contained only rectangular pieces there wasn’t a pattern sheet, only the measurements, that were enough. Originally the suspenders weren’t sewn into place but were…
