I’ve taken an in-depth look at the topic of "sewing women’s panties yourself" . Yes, you don’t have to buy them—you can sew them yourself very easily. You only need a little material, and making them isn’t difficult. I’ll show you exactly how it’s done, step by step, in my two blog posts on this topic.

I hope you enjoy taking a look and making them yourself.
Warm regards from Ina

Right now, I’m working on an embroidery project that uses twenty different colors of embroidery thread. My embroidery station looked like this:



For various reasons, I wanted to tidy up this mess.



In my latest blog post, I’ll show you how I made my own beautiful wooden embroidery thread organizer. The highlight is the long needle cushion for the embroidery needles I’m currently using.

So if you have some time to read over the weekend, I’d be thrilled. I’m really looking forward to chatting with you in the comments. Enjoy reading!

Do you still need a lovely idea for a very easy-to-knit blanket? Then here it is! In my blog post, I show you how you can knit a blanket really easily that starts with 5 stitches and keeps getting wider. That’s because we knit diagonally.

This creates beautiful effects, and you can determine the size really well. We simply knit until the blanket has the desired height, and then the rows get shorter again through decreases. Here’s the knitting method in miniature:

I knitted it as a baby blanket for my granddaughter in several colors:







But you can also knit it from thick leftover yarn. You don’t have to think about it at all—just keep knitting only knit stitches. Have lots of fun with the project.

Best wishes, Ina
