Spring is approaching (with a few setbacks, it rained all day today) and on the warmer days I don’t need to heat anymore. Meaning: I’m free(er) to move around the house instead of hunkering down at my desk.
And one of the things I have waited for all winter – or, to be precise: ever since I got my sewing machine repaired – is to do some sewing projects. I’ve already fixed the pocket of my favourite jacket for spring and a few pants that needed hemming, which I’m going to wear at home soon. Two of my beloved jinbei also need repairs, but since these are real summer outfits, that can still wait a little.
In a sense the biggest project took all Sunday afternoon: I made a new mouse pad for my office. It’s three old T-shirts sewn together strategically, with a fourth for the back and some red piping all around. Even though I still don’t really know how to work with bias tape, it turned out all right methinks. Pumpkin seems to approve at least. And if you remember my last weekend project, you may recognize the colors.
Anyway, on to the next project!
