  I wanted to make this bag for a long time, but my skill level was never there. Till now.  Well, my skill level is still not there, but now I have enough courage to try. And it turned out so good. Better than what I expected. After I made this one, in one day I made two more.  Let me show you how I did it. Step 1. Material - Macrame cotton yarn - Croche hook - Scissors I wanted my bag to be sturdy. That is why I picked macrame yarn. You can make it from any yarn you want. Step 2. Pattern For this, I watched a lot of YouTube videos and Pinterest patterns, but in the end I made some changes to get what I wanted. First you start with a magic circle. Inside it there needs to be 11 double croches.  In the pattern down below you can see the first 3 rows. This is your floor of the bag. Now let's start making the wall. 4th row is a single double croche in every stich.  We have gotten to our dragon scales. So I found this pattern on Pinterest, but at first I didn't real...

Not so long ago, I wanted to build a medieval tent. Actually, I needed to build a medieval tent.  The first idea was to buy one. Now that I look beck on it, I should have done that.  But at the time I did not have the money to buy one. Medieval tents cost around 1000€ and that's just for the tent part. Shipping is not included in this price.  Thus my adventure to build one beggins.  Step 1. Know what you want! The tent I wanted is a small medieval tent from the 11th century. This needs 2 poles that will hold it up and 1 pole that will connect those 2 and hold the center up.. I wanted one side to be completely open and to be able to use that side as a parasol. Step 2. Blueprint! This is my original drawing. It should be 180 cm high, 200 cm wide and 400 cm long. Once I had that, I was able to do some math. The tent consists of only one rectangle (2) and 8 triangles (1). 4 on each side. On this sketch (1) and (2) you can see the measurements I used without seam allowa...

  Quick and easy one day sewing project + pattern For this project you will need: - pattern - material, preferably cotton - tailor's chalk and tape measure - sewing pins - sewing machine - iron Pattern: All measurements are in centimeters . Parts: 1x lower part of the apron 1x breastplate 2x pocket 2x patch for breastplat  4x patch for pocket 1x waistband (150x4 cm) 2x straps (100x8 cm) Add 1 - 1.5 cm of seam allowance. How to make. You'll need 250 cm/80 cm of cotton ( in my case blue) and one piece of decorative cotton fabric for patches. Sew the tailored patches to the breastplate and pockets (wrong side to the wrong side) and turn to the right side. Iron the rest of their rolled-up seam allowances and sew on the face with a machine. The large patched pockets on the aprons have primarily a practical purpose. The fabric patches are just a decoration. Cut the lower part of the apron with 1 cm allowance for the seam at the waist and 2 cm each on the sides and on the h...

  Am so happy to announce that I made a sudoku puzzle book. My whole life I've been doing sudoku. All sorts and kinds of sudokus.   As a student, I used sudokus to build a habit. Every day before I go to collage, I'll take a cup of coffee and do one sudoku. It didn't need to be a hard one, just one to start a day. And with that I've solved one whole sudoku book in a year. That book had 260 sudokus and there where all kinds of hard. It started with a 4x4 grid all up to sudokus with letters and a 16x16 grid. Ever since that I've wanted to make a sudoku book. But I wanted to make it as a challenge. A challenge that is going to take a year to get done. With that build a habit of doing one simple task a day.  When I was making this book many questions were asked. One of them was: 'Is this book going to have all kinds of sudokus in it?'. And the answer was no. There are no sudoku books that only have one kind of sudokus in it. This is the first one. In this book y...
