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?

The knitting Nannas are incredible! Like the idea of a knit-in!?! Genuinely something doable! I had the underground railroad quilts in my original take but some of my audio got corrupted! Once you start researching the topic it feels like everyone did it back in the day!

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!

Wow thanks so much for sharing! I'm so glad you liked the video! I had so many more stories! If you like the sabotage stories there is another about a pub owner in America who used to use her balls of wool to slip confederate information to the union in secret. So many amazing stories!

Actually using a pattern! It's from Country Cow Design and it's called the foldable travel backpack. I made one for my daughter a couple of weeks ago and the pattern is brilliant!

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

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….

I'm the opposite, I wish I could keep my feelings of anger and frustration to myself and get on with the work but there are just so many big feelings 💕💕 💕 we all cope in our own ways

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 ✨
