I have set myself a challenge: to change something in my life each week for a year, so I can
limit MY impact on the human and physical environment whilst living a regular life in the city.
Please help me by adding a comment with ideas and hints!

Made my first pair of trousers

WOHOO, I now have a pair of trousers to wear for work tomorrow. I have been inspired by some particularly creative friends, thank you Brigs, Beth, Ella & Eva, to sew.  Thanks mum for the sewing machine and your excellent seamstress example.  I took a pair of trousers I liked and fitted me well, turned them inside-out folded in half with the back bits on the inside, and cut 2 front pieces.  Then folded the front bits on the inside and cut the two back pieces.  I sewed of course the two wrong pieces together first, tee hee, and after unpicking that it was easy to see which ones went together. I was also extremely brave(I think so anyway), after reading the zip instructions that came with my sewing machine I attempted the zip and won! The best part was I didn't have to buy the material, it was something I wanted to use up from another project. Yay for reducing waste :)
