XMAS RUNNER

I got the sewing machine out for some creative sewing. Making a xmas runner for the tv-unit from a cool scandinavian fabric called Skades Längtan by Arvidsson Textiles. I'm not at all confident with a sewing machine but it turned out alright. The only thing I had to do was sew in a straight line - which is quite hard.

I have not been able to find out who the clever designer is. Arvidssons website is not the greatest but  they do have some cool fabrics though.

I thought I was being clever but alas I was wrong

I swim laps every second day and I bought these tiki inspired swimming trunks in the sale, to replace my old faded trunks. I could see that they were too big but thrifty me thought, I can shorten the legs, and as you can see I did. Well done Theo! 

I have just got back from the pool and the length was perfect but every time I pushed out from the side of the pool my bum was on display for the whole pool to see. Mooning your fellow lane partners is not a very nice thing to do so I quickly decided backstroke would be the best option for the rest of swim. 

Note to self, just buy the right size next time.
