Today was such a lovely day, sunny and warm. I had an idea to take my sewing machine outside and work on some projects in our yard. It was such a great idea: I could be outside with my kid (she hates to be inside the house when the weather is so nice), and doing what I want at the same time! I repaired my husband´s coat´s pocket (not exactly what I enjoy to do, but it had to be done...) and started making my black summer dress. I´m a bit worried about how it will turn out, as I´m sewing without a pattern, but I hope it will be ok. The only downside of the "outside sewing" was the wind, which was getting stronger and stronger during the day (and in the end was so strong that it ruined few things in our garden and our gate...). But I´m definitelly doing this again, maybe with embroidery or something.

I was thinking of sewing outside, too! In the end I did not, because I did other things that had to be done. But next time I'm doing it for sure!
ReplyDeleteJust get a very long extending cable... that could be a problem. Otherwise it´s a great experience and you´ll feel very cool :)
