High temperature
I am obviously not used to high temperatures.. In yesterday it hit 30 degrees C (or a little above it) and I went out swimming. I got sun burnt so I felt bad the evening, feeling ill, nauseated and totally exhausted.. I am still very very tired in the body today. Still hot as ***. (and the neighbors are smoking so I can't open windows to air)
I am sewing now. Tights en masse for Emerald Witches. Keeping one of every color (basically the test run) and then making 2-3 of each color to be added to the store later. Along with 7-8 dresses. One thing is good with sewing on stretch fabrics (yay, there's something positive with these haha) is that I do not have to use iron. I do not want to use the iron today! *laughs* The fabrics are thinner and more slippery than the usual fabrics I use for Funny Bunny sweaters. It is better with thin fabric for tights so shoes can be put on. Bought 4 more colors last friday for a variety. I also bought a thin gauze type fabric with nice print, but it is wrinkly now after the hand wash and as I said, not wanna use the iron. :D It will wait until the weather will be cooler. Which will likely be soon, heat waves like these are not so common in Sweden. To the dismay of most people. But I prefer a little cooler weather so I can function properly. But I still want AC in my room! XD The little table fan is working hard.
Ok, back to sewing. I wish I could shut down the lamp of the machine as it is hot, shining on my hands while working. *laughs* Yes I could use my vintage pfaff 332 as I can shut down the lamp there, but I prefer this 80's pfaff 919 machine... And I do not wanna move around on heavy machines.. Now I start to see advantage of LED or low energy lamps....
