Day of DIY # 62. Fancy lavender.

Hellu!
For christmas last year I tried to make as many gifts as possible. One of my sisters wanted lavender bags to put with clothes. This time I wanted to make them a bit more fancy. Anyways, I made a bunch and only gifted half of them. So last week when I had some time (and motivation! wow such crucial, very important) I finished up the rest. And here they are since I never blogged about the other ones. This is my contribution to Husmorsskolans Syförening this week :)

 Here's what I started out with which was pretty cool since this was the time consuming part. The fabric is an old sheet from my grand father <3

Here they are stuffed with lavender. Also, I switched thread 4 times for this project. If I thought changing the thread was less boring I ofc would've made a rainbow. Recognize.

A seam across and some thrifted cotton yarn in a bow. Finito!

These are almost too cute to be stuffed in a cupboard or drawer 8) Just look at them hanging about on the sewing machine.

Yay for being creative! 

Toodels!

So what happened in may?

Hellu!
An update, hey there I'm still here. I realised I blogged nothing the whole of may. Oops. Haven't taken that many pics either. But here are a few.

Finally put all the pieces together. It has been a touch warm with 400g of wool in my lap this past week...

I had a day off work this week and had a productive day :) Spent some time with my sewing machine and a cup of tea. My swedish grand mother gave me this cup. Cats <3

I've read a book for the first time in a long time. An old favorite, still.

Had a crafty sunday with my tribe. Some of them made belts. Lots of woolly tassles 8)

The bf is skating again. This is summer.

Toodels!
