Summer sewing: Linen struggles, hacking shorts and bold stripes #109

from Stitching Tales · host The Last Stitch Media

Summer has (almost) arrived in Sweden, and Malena and Johanna are ready to talk about warm-weather sewing. It starts with a linen pants therapy session where Johanna has some saggy struggles; luckily, Malena has the solutions. They move on to shorts and how we can hack our favourite pants sewing pattern into a pair of shorts (hint: the answer might surprise you).Then Malena pulls out a roll of fabric and asks for advice, and the answer could be...dungarees, or as Johanna says, "own the stripes!"

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien Audiobook Raghvendra Singh The journey through Middle-earth begins here with J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy.“A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible...

But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away Vampires of the Paper Flower Consortium Elizabeth Guizzetti Come for the evening, stay for eternity!
