After 24 hours of flying we have finally arrived in Stockholm! I would be more excited but right now I'm just tired and I want a shower. Very grateful to have arrived safely though ❤️

Have I finished making all of my sewing Nordic travel clothes? No... But have I finished my video for this week? Also no... Ok, but, did I finish drafting the Patreon Pattern for March? Again no... BUT I did start some new socks cos what else is a girl to do when stuck on the couch or in bed sick?

Bulk order of spindles done and ready to be posted. I don't usually change the filament colour, that's my other half's job, so I'm a bit proud of myself for doing it!

Travel bag construction is officially underway. I never thought making an anti theft bag would be a possible make but here we are! To be honest even the idea that I can make my own bag with zips and decals and specialist pockets is wild to me! #bagmaking #sewing #textiletourism

I stand for equality, justice, and love for all. I am proud to be an ally in the fight against fascism and bigotry. I believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting local, independent businesses that champion inclusivity. Together, we rise! #craftivism

When you buy from a small business, you support that local community as well. Studies show that 68 cents to every dollar you spend gets reinvested in the community that business is in. Imagine if we did that for every purchase, mom and pop stores could return. And better yet, we could hurt Bezos….

What could you do today? - Cuddle those you love and hold dear - Borrow something from your library - Find a neutral source of news like @theguardian.com - Shop or publicly support small independent business - Grow your own food without chemicals and compost - Join a socialist political party ✨
