I thought I'd tell you about the #SewnWithMcCalls challenge that is ongoing throughout March and it isn't too late to join! The challenge is to post on Minerva @minervadotcom of a McCalls pattern you've made and use the hashtag, it doesn't have to be new! There will be ten random winners that will receive five McCalls patterns of their choice and an additional £50 voucher to stock up on fabrics and notions. You can enter as many times as you want to increase your chances at winning! I looked through my archive and I've made two McCalls patterns over the years. But this is a reminder for me, as I love both of them, to make more! I made the shirt dress that was all the rave a few years back #M6696 and a shirt #M2447 for my then boyfriend, now husband and baby daddy! I'm trying to make this beautiful #M7479 that I purchased when it was released early fall 2019! I fell in love with the pattern immediately and I've seen so many beautifully made up dresses from this pattern. I'm going to a wedding next weekend and hoping this will be my dress! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sopbac #Sewing #Sewcialists #Sewists #SlowFashion#DIYFashion #HandmadeWardrobe #MeMade #Søm #SySelv #Hjemmesydd #AsiansWhoSew #NorwaySews #TrondheimSews #MinervaMaker #MinervaMakers #MinervaBrandAmbassador #McCallsPattern #McCalls7479 #McCalls6696 #McCalls2447 (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbk8-n_qKjs/?utm_medium=tumblr

On November 10th our baby girl, Nova, was born 👶🏻 She's been a dream and a nightmare, she's perfect 🌟 Right now we're trying to enjoy her chubby cheeks and sleep whenever we can. No sewing or other hobbies at the moment, although I miss it and would like to make time for it, hopefully soon! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newborn #nyfødt #babygirl #onemonthold #babymama (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoM2u1ldEg/?igshid=1a2tqhjkrs0ee

#BPSewvember2020 Day 7 - Treat After finally finishing the baby room and cleaning the house we just couldn't start on dinner so McDonald's to the rescue! Sometimes that's a treat, but sewing wise I've already treated myself with Tilly and the buttons new pattern 😁 (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHTAp49FXdz/?igshid=1sv5x09a77mur

#BPSewvember2020 Day 5 - Currently Currently deciding on which cake I should eat first, raspberry cheesecake or chocolate spoon cake 🤔 Yes, I treated myself for two pieces of cakes today, because I'm worth it! The one that doesn't get eaten today will be devoured tomorrow 🤗 And I'm also knitting the #BellaBlanket 👶🏻 #BellaTeppe #Leknit #raspberrycheesecake #chocolatespooncake #delidelucanordre #delideluca #cake #knitting (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOEMcslqIp/?igshid=e5jqaf6aqwqq

#BPSewvember2020 Day 4 - Habit My habit is to add pockets to my garments! I feel really uncomfortable wearing items that don't have pockets, it's just something missing 🤔 "It has pockets"-pin from @pinkcoatclub and sewing machine pin is from @craftypinupshop 🤩 #BPSewvember #pockets #pins #ithaspockets #pinkcoatclub #craftypinupshop (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLY2X9lMf6/?igshid=yhkqqvole67z

#BPSewvember2020 Day 3 - Superpowers I thought long and hard about this one and I couldn't find a proper picture to post, but I believe my sewing superpower is BATCH SEWING! Love it! 🤩 Either it's one pattern I'm making multiple off, or garments that has the same thread color, I'm game! #BPSewvember #sewingsuperpower #batchsewing #haberdashery (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIiaZ5FSsk/?igshid=17xqru9o3r8ys

#BPSewvember2020 Day 2 - Then and Now One of my first makes in 2014, the #BHLFlora from @byhandlondon, actually my first make was the #BHLElisalex, but I couldn't find a on body picture from then. On the right is my newest make from May this year, its the #sewingMartha from @tillybuttons 😊🎉 It's been an adventure sewing these six years, and I can't wait to get back in the game! I'm hesitant on starting during pregnancy as I don't know how my body will look afterwards, but I'm bloody excited to sew again 😀 (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIgEmAlDeF/?igshid=1ntiv9ifdufja

#BPSewvember2020 Day 1 - Fun fact. 1. I'm usually on time, rather early then late. But this pregnancy has made me realise I can't do what I want to any given time anymore, someone else is the boss.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That's why I'm late to the #BPSewvember party and doing three days in one to catch up 😅 2. I looooove wearing my me-mades, but haven't made any pregnancy clothes so it's been mostly second-hand from my sister and thrift store. Hit me with your nursing friendly patterns if you have any! Preferably, ones that aren't only meant for nursing 🤱 3. This was very pregnant related facts, but hey, that's what up with me these days... 🐳 #37weekspregnant (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIerfhFNvF/?igshid=1ukon8j3b78rg

One of the first things I knitting for the baby is this romper. I've made the pattern before for my first niece two years ago (she has now a little sister!). This merino wool in my stash turned out great as its gender neutral and perfect for when the baby comes and Christmas is right around the corner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pregnancy-wise, I've been very tired again in the third trimester. When I'm not working I'm usually on the sofa either sleeping or knitting. I wish I was one of those pregnant ladies that was up and about sewing and making everything, but no use to compare yourself to others. I'm just happy that the little one is getting stronger each day and if it makes me sleepy to do so, then that's what I need to do. Just a little update 😊 #SopbacKnitting ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pattern: #KjappStrikkaDrakt #QuickKnitSuit from @paelasknits and #BabyHausschuhe shoes from @inesstrickt Yarn: Merino wool from @sandnesgarn ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #knitting #strikking #babystrikk #babyknit #romper #babyshoes #pregancyupdate #terrarium (at Trondheim, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFW8zoEFIdT/?igshid=inlw4xizpipm
