Pijama "Burda Style"

After fixing my son's jeans, I decided to go back to what I was doing before going on vacations. This of being a working mom has something to talk about.

The weekdays are too short for everything and on the weekends I have to wash the clothes, iron it and after this, all I want to do is to relax on the sofa.

Oh, well... I cut the fabric for the top, the upper part.

And I sewed the shorts, the side seams, in the back and in the front. I also sewed the waist line and put the elastic band on it. all that it's left is the hem. I wanted to place a bit of the white fabric in the short's hem. But it will have to go to another day.

Back to school

My son has come back to kindergarden. He has a jeans that he wore last year and he managed to get them a hole in one of the legs. No wonder... what do you expect from a 2/3 year old? Of course, that he crawls, that he plays a lot and that he tears all his clothes up.

I decidid to mend the situation and if it is to damage, might as well damage used and mended jeans than new ones.

It was my first time, and the result was not so good, but I think it got ok.

Here are the jeans and the hole.

I went to a coloring site and I chose some drawings that were simple to do the silhouette.

I chose those which seemed to me to be easier: the fish and the bear and I draw the silhouttes to transparent paper.

Then I pass the silhouette onto the fabric.

And now at this point it's where things got complicated. I made another experience in another fabric to do the thight and large stitch. And after I did the lines of the drawing. It didn't get perfect. And I think it doesn't even looks like a fish.

And hardest part and where it really gor worsen: sew it on the jeans. Maybe I should have sewed by hand, but I tried to make it in the machine and this was the result.

He now has a jeans without a hole in which he can play in the floor, play with his friends, and who knows, tear iit up again (!?)

I'm back

I'm back from my vacations in the Algarve with my two men.

And I have to up-date the side-bar. It's not 33 anymore, now it's 34.

I still have one week at home before I go back to work.

Let's see if I have the time to do something else.
