back to the needle...

... or a sewing machine, rather. The past months have been quite tough since our baby refused to sleep during the nights. She used to wake up and cry and scream for 2-3 hours every night. It was very tiresome and deprived me from any lust to sew or to blog. I do not know how we survived these two months of horror... Anyway, it is much better now. Our girl still wakes up during the night, but then she falls asleep without too much fuss.

I am back to business now, meaning sewing, and I am much inspired as: 1) my shelves are stuck with new fabrics bought at the winter's Syfestivalen in Stockholm, 2) I've got myself an overlock (Janome 644) - it really makes much difference, 3) I have created a proper place for sewing at home (thank you, IKEA).

Here are some of the things I made during the past few months.

A simple scarf for me! Very warm...

A baby top...

Red corduroy pants...

And black cozy pants (actually upcycled from my husband's sweatshirt)...
