Death comes in small packages

Made some dresses to my niece. Bought a book 'Mekkotehdas' (translates to 'Dress factory') a while ago and had to make some dresses immediately. Material is cotton and size 122/128 (EU) which unfortunately is the biggest size in the book (except that one adult sized dress). Also made a shoulder bag from the left-overs. And got a message yesterday that she absolutely LOVEs the shoulder bag.

Something I made for myself. Fabric from Kui design, bought from Turku Design Shop.

I knit a pullover / tunic of the same yarn I used in my beanie Aberforth. I started it as a sweater but since the instructions in the magazine ( Moda 6/2012) weren't to my taste after all, I changed it to more my liking. I think I still might change those buttons since their not my style. That's why I originally took them off of the sweater I bought a few years back. Sleeves are 3/4 in length. I like the length but when the coldest weather arrives here I'll probably miss them being full length.. Oh well.

Made a beanie to myself using Svarta Fårets Ullgarn 2-thread wool yarn. The yarn was a leftover from another project that I'll share with you later. Instructions for the beanie can be found  here . (Underneath the picture is a dropdown menu where you can change the language.)

Made these curtains a while ago. Simple straight curtain, 100 % cotton fabric, from Ikea.

You might think of the title that this text got into a wrong place. But it didn't. Here's a t-shirt as it was before. And here's a picture of what it became.

Used some left-over yarns to cover the ugly flower vase. Now our cat won't be drinking from the plate.

This is how our sofa looked like after the eight months our cat has been living here and scratching. Both corners of the ottoman. But then I came up with an idea. Fake leather. Sewing machine. Fixed. Made a hood on the ottoman to cover the end of it. Quite a lot of the color blue in our appartment. And the cost? Nine euros. 

Made a sleeping mask to myself. Cotton outside and fleece inside, elastic band to hold it in place. Tested it already, works fine, still needs some product development (bigger --> better).

I've forgot to download some pictures of projects that I've finished. Here's just few of them.  A crocheted owl for my niece.     Some woolen socks. The lower blue socks I gave to my sister when I visited her family in Sweden. One more pair of woolen socks. These got some crocheted "converse stars" after I took this picture and gave them to my friend. Overall for my niece.

My nephew turned 5 years old and I made him this starry fleece jacket. Seems happy, right?! ;)

Original idea for the guitar socks: Jorik Linvik - Let's rock
