Our friends’s wedding is this Sunday and just yesterday I decided to draft a new pattern for @mostlymaths shirt... just hours before he leaves for a business trip to London 🤷♀️ I made the quickest mock up you’ve never seen and fits nicely (well... I haven’t had time to test the sleeves, but what’s life without self-inflicted stress and unnecessary emotion! 🤦♀️). Now cutting this beautiful fabric I bought at @nunoyabcn and showing a confidence that I don’t really have 😅 No time to waver, the countdown has started! #handmadewardrobe #patternmaking #patterndrafting #sewing #tailoring

Last few hours in Riga, knitting the mitten kit I bought at @senaklets with views to the Freedom Monument. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #latvianmittens #latvianyarn #riga #latvia

First day in Riga haul 😻😻😻 The “Estonian Knitting vol. 2” was in my birthday wishlist and @mostlymaths told me it’s not among the presents he bought... I couldn’t resist the temptation when I saw it at @senaklets 😊 “Mittens of Latvia” book and kit are also from there, where he felt in love with a pair of mittens that are not in the book. They were kind enough to let me take a close picture to reproduce the pattern and we bought also the brown and white yarns to make them. The wonderful green and teal 100% Latvian wool yarns are from @tinesshop where they also have handmade garments knitted by Latvian grandmothers. @mostlymaths bought the pair of mittens for him there. The woven cap and heavy metal dice are also for him. Oh, and he collects “The little prince” book in different languages and now has the Latvian edition. #yarn #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #mittensoflatvia

One done, one to go! (Well, in fact both done now). Sockknitting in the air. Just landed in Riga, were we will spend my birthday among lots of crafts and yarn... I hope. Picture credits to @mostlymaths #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #sockknitting #knitting #flyknitting

I’m visiting my family in Switzerland and I was happily surprised to see this cushion in my (niece’s) room. I made it for her when I knew she was going to be born, 20 years ago ❤️ It was one of my first patchwork pieces. Hard to believe that she is an adult woman living by herself in the UK now when this cushion looks as if it was made yesterday! Time flies so fast... #patchwork #sewing #crafts #workoflove

I was going to scold Falco, my greyhound, for being even more needy than usual pushing my desktop chair back while I was working... when I saw him sleeping in the sunlight. 🤔 Then I realized that maybe having 9 WIP knitting project bags hanging on my chair is too much 😂 Maybe that is a sign that I should finish some projects before knitting new ones... maybe, just maybe... #knitting #knittersofravelry #knittersofinstagram #greyhound

I love him, but he is not the happiest model at 7 am in a hurry to catch the train to go to the airport 🤣 Few days ago @mostlymaths said that it would be perfect to have a light elegant jacket for his next trips to London and Lausanne... wink, wink... It took me just two days to sew this jacket adapted from “The gentleman’s wardrobe” book by @vanessamooncie I made it in tergal (is it a thing in English? It’s too early for me... it’s a mix of wool and polyester fabric) unlined, with Hong Kong finishings. I finished yesterday night, with no time to take progress pictures :/ But it fits him so well (trust me, he was in a “
