I love doing scribbly trace drawings of pics on phone

Edyta and her daughter Sophia done yesterday during lunch with them.

It's interesting to see what you can get once you turn of the photo.  Want to see eventually how to get a likeness with the least possible lines.

Remodelling small pjs

I can only show part of the pjs as I was wearing them when J took pic without me knowing and the rest of it shouldn't be seen by the world.    I know it's not a clear pic and I will eventually take better pics of all the sewing I've been doing.  You can see the buttons down the side - this is part of the top of the pjs.

They were originally nice M&S smooth cotton size 12 men's PJs which i never got to wear as i didn't quite make it down to that size. I am size 18/20 on the bottom so by cutting the top into 6 parts - 2 fronts, back in 2 halves and the 2 sleeves, I was able to get enough lenght to add 5 inch inserts into the sides.  I usually add stiching on outside over seams to give a better finish so they look like they were always like that.
Side showing the button half of the top's front.  The other side has the button holes.

Pink knitted mobile phone holder 1st prototype

Hangs around neck - closed

Needs some changes, besides it looking not great.    Want to add a stylus holder.  At least I won't scratch screen - but unless I make a couple of little sewing changes it will probably fall out.  Also need to add fastener.  Will knit another in thinner wool or other fabric/string.  Also going to make one out of old book/cover.
