Got some mittens for sale on majovintage.etsy.com - so come and shop ;)
This is my portfolio over all work I have crafted, sewn, crochet and knitted since I moved from Paris to England around 2005. My roots are in Sweden by my home is in England were I live and work. The work published here is all done on my spare time for my lovely friends and family and also make a lot for myself. I would love if my wardrobe was all home made - slowly getting there! I have now update this portfolio as I had a 10 year gap not uploading anything - all here now! (2023)

Crochet baby cardigan
This little baby cardigan was crochet for my friends little girl. Own patterned and the pansies are also crochet, behind them there is poppers to make it easy to do up.
Aubergine upholstered sofa
Earlier this year I upholstered this sofa - you don't even want to know how it looked like before (it was a grey shade of pink...). Found this aubergine coloured suedette fabric cheap at a local fabric shop, only cost me £25.00 and voila - new sofa.
Upholstered 1970s sofa and armchairs
I reupholstered these earlier this year. Great original 1970s sofas which I reupholstered with chocolate brown crushed velvet.

My first knitted jumper (12 stitch plaits)
I knitted this! My first jumper ever and I made my own pattern. My friend gave me some 1970 yarn (made in England) 100 % acrylic - but who cares - its perfect and its got a lovely colour. Knitted it with needle size 6.5 so it did not take long to make it. Front is made out of three 12 stitch plaits and back is worked 2 rows knit, 2 rows purl. Arms got a 12 stitch plait running along the side. I am very impressed by myself as I have never knitted a jumper before - not even after a knitting pattern!
Upholstered rocking chair
I was asked by my friends to upholster the cushions for their fantastic rocking chair. Both cushions are fitted with a zip which makes it possible to be washed in the washing machine. I'm very happy with the result and so are my friends!
