After 24 hours of flying we have finally arrived in Stockholm! I would be more excited but right now I'm just tired and I want a shower. Very grateful to have arrived safely though ❤️

Have I finished making all of my sewing Nordic travel clothes? No...
But have I finished my video for this week? Also no...
Ok, but, did I finish drafting the Patreon Pattern for March? Again no...
BUT I did start some new socks cos what else is a girl to do when stuck on the couch or in bed sick?

Bulk order of spindles done and ready to be posted. I don't usually change the filament colour, that's my other half's job, so I'm a bit proud of myself for doing it!

Travel bag construction is officially underway. I never thought making an anti theft bag would be a possible make but here we are! To be honest even the idea that I can make my own bag with zips and decals and specialist pockets is wild to me!

I made a vintage inspired wool skirt this week in 38c degree weather and the full chaos sewing process is available to watch on YouTube

I am so happy with how this skirt turned out!

Pattern for this skirt will be my Patreon Pattern for March

I stand for equality, justice, and love for all. I am proud to be an ally in the fight against fascism and bigotry.

I believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting local, independent businesses that champion inclusivity. Together, we rise! #craftivism
