I find a lot of inspiration on the interwebs. But sometimes I can get inspiration just from taking out my sowing machine or my knitting needles and create something on my own. I love these analog evenings. A cup of tea, counting stitches, drawing patterns, swearing to the sowing machine when the garment gets stuck. I might keep the radio on in the background – and let it decide what I am supposed to listen to without interacting with it like I would with Spotify or Last.fm. Preferably I will learn something from a documentary program or debate on a subject I would never even think of searching for information about on my own.
The photo in this post is from my last sowing evening, which was more of a necessity than a creative session. My 159 centimeters make finding pants that fit impossible. I have come to terms with the fact that the sowing machine needs to be a part of the “buying-new-pants”-process. Or maybe not, considering that I think I have 3 skirts for every pair of pants in my closet. Anyway. This time I made two pants fit by cutting off a couple of inches. My bare naked legs in front of my Husqvarna are typical for these sessions. I try the clothes on all the time to check if I am on the right track – and I always end up half naked armed with scissors, pins and measuring tape.
I need more analog time. I will close my laptop. Right. Now.
For et fint innlegg!
Tusen takk :)
