#Handmade - Pyjama pants (or Pajama for the Americans, shudder)

(or Pajama for the Americans, shudder)

One resolution for 2014: take the time to do 'real' photos!

Pants need some more work, but heck, at least they 'fit'.
I finally grasped the principle of legs combined with the crotch.
I had some brain issues there ;-)

I will rework the legs and other stuff later, for now, I'm just happy that I got this over my butt ;-P

Happy New Year everyone, see you next year ;-)

#Handmade - Good Luck Clover

Tried out two patterns, not able to crochet them, so I just made up one :-)

Ignore the clover in the back. Didn’t have time to press it ;-)

#Handmade - Sticky Date cake

Oh, so YUMMY!
Fluffy and sticky!

The icing is not exactly as it should.
Have trouble translating 'thickened cream' into something usable... used normal whipping cream, but it's not 100% as it should.
Next time :)

Recipe here

#Handmade - Book cover Photo Tutorial

The original idea comes from this post (German).
The explanations there might be better understandable for some :-)
I'm just doing a rough and quick job here ;-)

Materials needed:

- Scraps big enough for the outer lining of your book
(you must be able to wrap the book in it comfortably)
- some material for the filler, I've used some Leftover Flannel
measurement: same as above
- some elastic band, I've actually reused straps from an old Bra ;-)

#Handmade - Schlabbertee

aka the fluffy T-Shirt / das fluffige T-Shirt

not yet 100% how I want it, but I'm getting closer / noch nicht 100% so, wie ich es mochte, aber ich komme der Sache langsam naeher ;-)

I tried to do the bottom like in this Tee pattern, but it went a bit too s'short', plus the slippery material ain' that easy to sew. I'll try again :-)

Ich hab versucht, den Rand so hinzubekommen, wie in dieser Anleitung. Aber das Material ist dezent schluepfrig und mein Rand etwas zu kurz. Ich werd's nochmal probieren ;-)

#Handmade - Sew me

So, hands up, who else manages to sew on arms wrong at least once per T-Shirt?!
I made it to two times today, once per arm and am not finished yet, that's a record

Ich will Haende sehen: Wer schafft es noch pro T-Shirt zumindest einmal die Arme falsch anzunaehen? Ich bin heute bei zweimal, einmal pro Arm und ich bin noch nicht fertig - Rekord
