This my new pyjamas, thank you so much Kirsty for the material! 70's flower polyester fabric has been used for this cosy PJ :) Top with gathering at the back (lace) made of new stretchy t-shirt fabric from fabric land.
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)

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!
