French terry or sweater dress with long raglan sleeves hanging on a sewing form. Colour of fabric is mostly black but it has blue and green willow leaves painted on it. Backround is strange ledlight installation, I do not know what it does.

French terry or sweater dress with long raglan sleeves is laying flat on a table. Closest to photo is the pockets: just one pocket piece (instead normal two for sideseam pockets) is sewn into front part of the dress, thus saving it becoming too bulky.

French terry or sweater dress with long raglan sleeves is worn by very silly middle aged woman, with black leggings and red&green woollen socks. Backround is a strange ledlight installation, most likely artpiece, I do not know what it does.

I got subsciption of @taukomagazine.bsky.social as a present from my family. Issue nro18, looks great, I could think making at least half of these patterns.

Because I am slow, I will probably get to sewing these after 2 years 😅

Lapsen viimetalvisen muutoin hyväkuntoisen (ja lämpimän) talvitakin vetoketjun toinen pujotuspää on hiukan rispaantunut. Menee kiinni kun vetäjä on huolellinen mutta ei kiireisen lapsen käsissä. Onko muuta vaihtoehtoa kuin koko vetoketjun vaihto? #ompelu

7 fabrics piled on a floor: blue chambray; black french terry from Nuppu Print Company illustraded as silver willow; cotton jersey printed with stripes of a national costume skirt Kansallispukuraidat by Soja Murto; dark blue bamboo jersey; 3 times bamboo viscose: black illustrated with red clover flowers and leaves by Mereen, lilac with doughnut-looking shapes by Mereen, beige &black flowers.

Tiny inventory to put my thinking hat on, my fabric stash isn't terribly large. For half of these I have an idea which patterns to use. Missing from photo is halfway-done bumbag. Still few more weeks until I have time again for #sewing

Bumbag hanging on hips of a sewing form. Bumbag is stripes and dots of black, baby blue, some white, some yellow, this is the result of cutting small pieces of a larger raport on a designer fabric (acrylic coated cotton by Marimekko, classic kitchen tablecloth material.)

Bumbag on a hips of very silly middle aged lady, picture taken as mirrorselfie. Bumbag is stripes and dots of black, baby blue, some white, some yellow, this is the result of cutting small pieces of a larger raport on a designer fabric (acrylic coated cotton by Marimekko, classic kitchen tablecloth material.)

Sneak a peak to inside of bumbag, it is sort of green-ish colour, I think this colour was called "petrol" or something smilar. There is extra, small snap hook inside, where to attach keys into. I wasn't skilled enough to improvise a tiny pocket, as I was rushing this in very little time.

Look at the backside of bumbag; how strap webbing is connected to snap hooks that connect to D-rings that connect to... (in my head there is the skeleton dance song now...)

One more #sewing project for this week, and then I'm off of sewing for at least a month.
"Delocalized" hexagon bumbag pattern by Marja Niemi, on @taukomagazine.bsky.social nro8

Blue linen-cotton duster coat on a sewing form, next to giant dusty windows.

Blue linen-cotton duster coat being modelled by very silly middle aged woman, trying to show of cuff frills and leggings that have poetry written on them, in a small dressing room that has lime-green walls.

Photo when blue fabric was laying flat on a floor to be cut according to the pattern. (In photo are also classic orange colour Fiskars fabric scissors.) It's clever pattern that uses the whole fabric that is in 2 layers, every corner and extra bit is used inside the finished coat.

It's finished, at least with the #sewing machine, I will do buttons as my evening chore next week.
Optimatium duster coat/dress, pattern by Liz Haywood on issue9 @taukomagazine.bsky.social . First #zerowastepattern I've tried and it's clever imo.

Peeking inside of duster coat made of blue linen-cotton fabric. It has rectangle shaped sideseam pockets and most seams are finished bias binding.

A duster coat or a buttoned coatshaped dress is on a hanger. It's made of blue linen-cotton fabric.

Optimatium from Tauko9 has now funny square pockets and added bust darts. It's missing buttons&holes, cuff frills, ironing & finishing.
I am still missing the skill of accurately predicting how many hours a sewing project will take 😅

Bit fuzzy photo of a garment laying on a floor. Garment is blue linen-cotton mix fabric, it starts to look like a duster coat even tho it's missing sideseams and lot of details. What's visible is pleats on front part, inverted pleat at backpart where seams are finished with bias binding, and then clever collar that needs handstitching.

It's halfway done Optimatium duster coat by Liz Haywood from Tauko issue 9. My first try at #zerowastesewing oh man, this is clever pattern!
I had planned another project for this week, too, now having doubts on my time management skills 😅 #garmentsewing #ompelu

Pillowcase

Pillowcase

I’m not a sewer but I sewed a pillowcase using my brother’s old Australia T-shirts 💙.

Ompelukoneen puhdistaminen pölystä ja ylimääräistä partikkeleista.

Ostin käytetyn ompelukoneen, joka ei sitten toiminutkaan.
Jouduin avaamaan sen ja tekemään perusteellisen puhdistamisen ja muutamien koneen sisään kuulumattomien partikkelien poiston.

Tein samalla koneiston öljyämisen. Kone toimii nyt oikein mainiosti.

Black jersey garment laying flat on floor, next to it is Tauko Magazine 12 where the pattern is. The garment is kind of like long dress t-shirt, but same time it's not any of those things, it's hard to describe, it's kind of odd shape the armcyes are on top same level as shoulder seam.

Middle aged woman wearing Kaari dress that is sort of t-shirt but not., taking mirror selfie in tiny dressing room, that has lime green colour walls. The dress-shirt is loose on top, but tighter on hips.

@taukomagazine.bsky.social issue12 (sports) had this pattern Kaari. It's fun! Surprising, simple and easy. There's option for short version, too.
Fabric is very drapey bamboo jersey.
The pattern has funny pockets on front. Someday I'll make more of this.
