Yesterday was @mostlymaths birhday. As I’m still waiting for the present that I bought at @bookdepository I had to improvise and last week I made him this sport blazer. It looks fabulous on him! And I’m so proud (look at these pockets! and the concealed stretchy cuffs?!) that I can not write this post without seeming pretentious 🤣 He bought the fabric that I used for the lining at @nunoyabcn several years ago and still hasn’t used it for anything, and the exterior is from @ribesycasals I drafted the pattern myself after a jacket we once saw on a man on the London underground and he said “Oh, nice jacket! I would love one like this!”... yeah... veeeeery proud of my skills, let me say! 😇 #patterndrafting #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewersofinstagram #sewingformen

Everything ready for #kalbonjoursocks that will start on Friday! I will use the lovely, naturally dyed sustainable extrafine Merino yarn that I bought at @yarnitas stand in #barcelonaknitsfestival It was a kit, but I don’t see the contrasting miniskein with this pattern and I think I will go with the #nonylonsocks #yarnitasknitalongs #knittersofinstagram

Today I’ve been serging a few seams... I wonder if I’m the only one in a love-hate 🥰🤬relationship with this machine... 🤷♀️ #sewing #overlockmachine #sewersofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #singersewing

A few days ago, @magpie_makes joked with the fact that I always buy lots of fabric and say that I’m making shirts for @mostlymaths but that she has never seen them... I agree that I’m a fabric hoarder (dare to tell me that you, sewist, are not!), but here’s the prove that -sometimes- I make hubby shirts. I only found pictures of 4 of the ones I made this summer... I should finish several long sleeves for the winter but as soon as I sit in front of the sewing machine I remember how much a I hate sewing sleeves 😅 #sewing #sewersofinstagram #patternmaking #patterndrafting #handmadewardrobe

And the cat bit me so badly that the doctor prescribed oral antibiotics and complete rest for my hand 😭 Three days without crafting and scrolling #bestnine on Instagram was making me nuts, so yesterday I decided to put order to my craftroom... rest for my hand, he said... 🤦♀️ I love to see my artisan sock yarns while working, but I fear for dust and moths and lately I’ve been wondering if I should keep them in a box or closet. Yesterday I remembered an old set of cabinets from my parents’ home and put most of them there... I love it! I have two more of these stackable showcases and I already know what I will do with them! And you? How do you store your precious yarns? #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #yarnporn #yarnstash

No more crafting today! 😿 Our cat has been ill the last weeks and today at the vet he vividly expressed that he has had enough of explorations and syringes... While we were trying to extract blood for analysis, he buffed, bit and scratched so intensely that the vet ended attending me. @mostlymaths was wise enough to run for his life and he is fine 🤣 #knittersofinstagram #catsofinstagram #knitting #crafting

It was raining cats and dogs, but we finally made it to @clothhouse warehouse in Camden just 20 minutes before they closed yesterday evening. I bought these wonderful 12 metres of wool fabric for just £36 😻 in the most quick purchase ever seen 🤣 I was happy (and soaked in water) for the rest of the day 🎉🎉🎉 and @mostlymaths was so impressed that if for the next sale I’m not in London he said that he will go find something #sewing #fabric #fabricporn #wool #handmadewardrobe
