Where can I find some cool handmade pants for this summer?

Hi There..... How are things going over there?

Here in Belgium, we are taking baby steps to a new way of living with a gradual exit strategy..... We have been in lockdown for quite a while now..... I couldn't even remember how long it was..... So I looked it up and it seems that our lockdown started on the 18th of March..... But we have always been allowed to go outside still to do our groceries..... Or for taking walks, a run or other sports in the parc keeping the 1.5m distance in mind of course 😷

So far only the grocery shops, fabric shops, do-it-yourself, and garden shops were open for business..... Starting Monday all the other shops will be opening their doors again..... But I am not crazy enough to go shopping already..... A little crazy maybe but not that crazy 😂

It feels kinda weird though..... When someone in the supermarket wants to be in the same aisle as you..... They look at you in a way as if you could be their killer..... I am not sure yet if I like it..... In a way, it is pretty badass having people be scared of you..... Renata the Ripper..... Doesn't sound that bad 😁

But then again, who is the scaredy-cat..... Me, I suppose..... I am the one staying away from the brave shoppers next week 😅😂

Although I probably won't be the only one..... Some people will agree that it's just common sense.....That's why I thought I would bring the stores to you other scaredy cats..... And show you a few handmade summer trousers from my beloved Etsy site 😄

How to be creative during lockdown?

Hi There.....Are you into fashion? 

I'm actually not really into fashion..... And the question is..... Do we still need fashion now that we are all locked up inside..... Do we still need to dress up just to go to the store..... I suppose not..... But then again we will not be locked up forever 😃

That's why today I wanted to share my..... Lockdown Fashion Trends

The trend is actually not for me..... But since lockdown started I have been very creative with a needle and thread..... Together with my new best friend of course..... There will be no fashion trend without him..... I know we are not supposed to let strangers in our homes..... But since my other friend gave up..... Just when I needed him most..... I welcomed my new companion with open arms 😁 


Indeed my new singer sewing machine..... We have become best friends lately 😁 

At first, I started making doll clothes for my granddaughter's baby born doll..... She is 4 years old and the first thing she does with a new doll is undressing her and put her in some other clothes 😂 

So I thought I should give it a try and went to the hobby fair for some small pieces of fabric..... And here are the things I made with those fabrics 🙂 



Pretty cute..... Aren't they 😄 

She actually didn't use my last one for her baby born doll..... But as long as she is happy with it..... That's what's most important 😁 
 
She said her centipede had a cold and needed the dress 🤣
But then something happened that I was not expecting at all..... My daughter loved them so much that she asked me to make some skirts for my granddaughter 😯 

She had never asked this before because she wasn't aware that I had so much sewing experience and could make things like these..... And I never asked her if she would like it..... But I do have to say that I hadn't sewed any clothes since she and her brother were young kids..... I suppose she didn't even remember because it had been very long ago 😊
The problem was that the corona lockdown had started by then and I couldn't go over there to discuss any fabrics or patterns 😳 

So I bought myself a book online with lots of patterns to make skirts for children..... Then using the Whatsapp video I showed her and my granddaughter the different patterns and this way they were able to choose their favorite one 😄 

All I needed now were the fabrics..... I knew she loved the one with the little Bambi's on it very much..... So I went on a search to find a shop where they had that specific fabric and lots of other cute ones 😊 

I found one that had everything I needed..... So I bought myself 1 meter of 3 different fabrics..... Now all I had to do was wait for them to arrive 🙂 

But then when I woke up the next day..... I realized that I forgot to get some elastic for the waist and some pink sewing thread for the pink fabric 😨 

So I decided to go to the supermarket and get some..... But no such luck..... Seemed that lots a people had started making masks and bought up all the elastic..... They had none in stock anymore 😷 

Ok no problem, I thought..... I would try to find some online..... That wasn't as obvious as I had hoped..... I needed an elastic of 2.5 cm wide according to the pattern but it was nowhere to be found..... I did find a set of black and white elastic of 3cm wide..... Not that I needed the black one but better that than nothing at all..... Right 😋 

So I made the waistband a bit bigger to be able to fit in the larger elastic..... And here is a picture of the 2 skirts I already made..... 2 down..... One more to go 🙃 



I was able to deliver the first one to my daughter's home and my granddaughter was very happy with it..... I will have to deliver the second one too but sure hope that I can give the last one to her in person 😍

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - 6

Hi There.....How is the weather over there?

It's not that great over here cause there is no sun shining at the moment only clouds and we are having a lot of wind too. But no worries the weather doesn't have to be great to be able to talk about fashion lol 😉

And you know what the great thing is here in Belgium? We have shoes for every type of weather. So what would you say if I would give you some history on shoes first 😊

According to Wikipedia, the earliest known shoes are sagebrush bark sandals dating from 7000 or 8000BC. They were found in the Fort Rock Cave in the US state of Oregon in 1938.

The worlds oldest leather shoe was made from a single piece of cowhide and laced with a leather cord along seams at the front and back. And it was found in Armenia in 2008 and believed to date to 3500BC.

Must be exciting if you can find something that is so old.....I sometimes wonder how it would be like to be an archeologist 😁

So let me ask you.....do you have a lot of shoes.....and do you actually wear them. I know a lot of people that just can't help themselves and keep buying more and more.

No, no not me I only have a few. So if you think you have too many you are gonna have to restrain yourself when I show you what I selected for you this time on Etsy 😏

Rose glitter flats, Rose gold flats, Red rose shoes



Goldendoodle Sneakers, personalized dog canvas shoes

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - 5

Hi There.....Are you also having a sunny day?

Don't you just love these kinds of days? Would you like to get a bit of inspiration to freshen up your wardrobe?


I am in for that 😄


How about a little bit of history I found on Wikipedia on that first?

We all know that clothing is something only humans do and it has been a feature in most human societies for a very long time. But it is actually not known just when people started to wear clothes. 

Things like textiles appeared for the first time in the Middle East during the late stone age. 

You might think now.....Oops, stone ago how long ago was that?

That is what I thought.....History was never my forte 😏 

Seems like it started about 2.5 million years ago and ended in 2500 BC.

From these times on to the present day the methods of textile production have continually evolved, and depending on their surroundings the choices of textiles that were available influenced how people clothed themselves. 

But let's get back to your wardrobe needs 😃

Here are some things I found on Etsy for you, and all for 50 € or less

Pink Wallet from KoopjesAap

Hi There.....Are you a fan of soft pink 😃

I actually wasn't for a long time. I'm not sure what made me change my opinion, but I am now.

Most recently I received this pink wallet from Koopjesaap in exchange for my honest review.

Pretty.....don't you think so 😄 I instantly loved it. To my opinion, it is very stylish as they say. And the fabric is soft, which makes it nice to handle. It is ideal to put some money and some cards in it. Here is a picture I took from the inside of the wallet. 
You have the zipper bag for your small change and you can put your id card in the small window. It is not that big so you can easily put it in your handbag. 

You can get this wallet in 7 different colors.....Bleu, Brown, Grey, Green, Red, Purple and Pink off course 😊

KoopjesAap has a lot of great deals on their website. They even offer discounts sometimes up to 90%. They have a large range of products to offer. But let me show you some of them out of the Jewelry and Accessories section.

Introducing you to - CreativeOP

Hi There.....Are you a fan of crochet?

Aha and did you know that there is something like bead crochet too? So let me introduce you to CreativeOP. It's an Etsy shop that sells crochet bead necklaces and bracelets and knit clothing.

If you are wondering what bead crochet is....here is some background information 😃

It's a crochet technique in wich you incorporate beads into fabric. There are published descriptios of bead crochet that date from around 1824, but it may very well have been common before that date. At the time it was considered to be more for the rich people. During the days of the great depression time for needlework got less and more inexpensive manufactured jewelry became available. In recent years the interest has revived as a hobbyist pastime.

The shop owner has been doing crochet for over 30 years. But when she saw a bead crochet bracelet on the internet about 3 years ago, she got inspired, and since then she has also been making these bead crochet necklaces and bracelets.

For her jewelry she uses cotton thread and Japanese beads and metal accessories. In time she also wants to start making decorations and gradually turn her hobby into a business.

Interested? Let me show you some of the lovely items she has in her shop 😊
