Non Glamourous Sewing Projects



Sometimes one has to make necessary items that are not that special. Recently, I've been making some of them, like a pair of work trousers for my boyfriend, replicating an old pattern in thick corduroy. Sadly, I lost the back pattern piece, so I had to make a new back pattern by the rub-off method. Either I did not get it properly, or he gained some small weight, but they are too tight and not comfortable, so I will have to make another pair soon. 

I also made some sateen silk pillowcases for our bed. They are supposed to be a real game changer for your hair, and they might be. My hair used to become more and more rough and entangled between washes, and now it is soft and loose for days... so they were worth it, even at 70 € the pair, and eventually I will need another pair...

I also made some dress as lounge-wear. I love wearing long jersey dresses at home, and this pattern, an old one I hacked from Burda magazine, is perfect, and it will probably get more renditions.
