Baking spree

I recently also have been on a baking spree...

Some of the things I made recently...

(apple pies, wholeweat and white flour---white flour home made crust was not great; somehow, home made wholeweat flour is easier to do and nicer to eat)


(pizza)

Knitting spree

knitting a kind of haramaki (cover around the waist, to keep one's stomach warm) for a friend.

Here is me doing it...
and the final result...

On another project, with Momo.

I have been on a knitting spree these days...

Sewing

How I saw the inside of my pants.

This is a little difficult to explain:

I saw my own pants and don't like to zig zag the inner part. Years ago, I found a good way to have it nice inside as well.

I saw the materiel together, usual way. I usually cut material so that I have about 2-3 cm between the border and the stitches.

I then cut one of the two sheets of fabric (about 5 mm to 1 cm from stitch).

I fold the longer sheet of fabric on the cut one. Its border comes next to the original stitch.

I fold it again, it goes on the stitch.

I saw the fold.
