on unrelated news: I've unpacked the sewing machine and sewed something!
it's just a draft stopper, but I've sewed something!
(next #sewing “project”: changing the elastic to some pajama pants. If I can find where the box with the elastics is. fancy, right?)

un paraspifferi, ma ho cucito qualcosa!
(prossimo progetto di #cucito: cambiare l'elastico a dei pantaloni del pigiama. se riesco a trovare dove è finita la scatola con gli elastici. lusso, eh?)

in reply to The Dress Developer • •@The Dress Developer indeed!
I have some bigger projects I want to do
I have the fabric and other materials I want to use, some of which I've unpacked today
I'm just very low on free time, but this will change hopefully soon!

To me, it's first and foremost a magical superpower, making us more independent, knowledgeable and critical.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •today's let's try to resume #sewing resulted in:
* one hair towel wrap inspired by ikea.com/nl/en/p/stjarnbuske-h… but a bit bigger, made from two towels I'm not using.
* one broken needle at about 2 cm from the end of the very last seam
* while looking for the tip of the needle, discovering that I had not cleaned the sewing machine before packing it (uooops)
* realizing that I still don't have unpacked the sewing machine oil (and won't be able to get to it until the weekend), so gave a quick clean to the machine instead of proper quality time
* couldn't find the needle tip
* it was stuck in the towel layers, of course, ready to hurt myself if I had used the wrap
* finished the last 2 cm of seam, success!
And I also took pictures, but I have no idea when I'll have time to prepare a blog post and instructions.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •risultati del “cerchiamo di ricominciare a #cucire” di oggi:
* un asciugamano per capelli ispirato a ikea.com/it/it/p/stjaernbuske-… ma un po' più grande, fatto con due salviette che non stavo usando.
* un ago rotto a circa 2 cm dalla fine dell'ultima cucitura
* mentre cercavo la punta dell'ago, accorgermi di non aver pulito la macchina da cucire prima di impacchettarla (uoooops)
* rendermi conto di non aver ancora spacchettato l'olio per la macchina (e non riuscire a raggiungerlo prima del weekend), quindi ho dato solo una pulita veloce anziché dedicarle del quality time per bene
* non riuscire a trovare la punta dell'ago
* era incastrato tra gli strati di salvietta, ovviamente, pronto a farmi male se avessi usato l'asciugamano
* finire gli ultimi due cm di cucitura, successo!
Ho anche fatto foto, ma non ho idea di quando avrò tempo per preparare un post per il blog e le istruzioni.
