#fabricart #sewing #secondhand
What I love about sewing is that you can bring an object to life from flat textiles.
This is a cushion cover, made with two separate pieces of second-hand fabric found at #reusefabrik (Brussels). I am intrigued by the thought that each had an owner, a history, a demise before I found them in a box full of other fabric, and now they will have a second life on my sofa.
Yes, it is kitsch, and that makes me smile.

I was looking for a relaxing project and I was intrigued by the pattern. I bought the yarn without thinking too much...and then I discovered I would need to crochet 70 of those. Not sure I will have the patience. What is your tip to keep going?

@inumay beautiful pattern! What will it become?

China has forged various bilateral trade agreements [and] built [...] infrastructure and industrial projects across Asia, Africa and Latin America. #china has used trade and investment linkages as part of its geo-economic diplomacy strategy. [...] while China maybe a competitor, it is also a more reliable partner
What #trump's irrational actions [ #tariffs ...] does is to heighten the long-term decline of the United States and the relative rise of China.

Finding happiness in the process.
I was never particularly fond of crocheting granny squares but I learned to like it while working on this cardigan, in spite of the frequent color changes.
The yarn is extremely soft and, while I had to make some adjustments to the pattern to make it fit my size, it was an easy one. I loved picking up the hook and focusing on just this work, mind emptied of anything else.
