How to keep up with sewing while traveling?
I left again, on a journey, cycling up and down the mountains, how should I find the space to sew?
I am searching for it.
While I carry the absolute minimum for all my belongings with me. I still found some (probably way too much) space for sewing gear in my bags and pockets.
How could I wander around this beautiful world without a pair of scissors, some threads and needles?
What I am trying to sort out now, is a way to keep up the sewing itself. How much material or fabric can I carry with me?
At least to that the answer, I have it, it is pretty simple; almost none.
Embroidery was my first idea.
I could choose one garment, that I will keep along the journey for sure, and start embroidering things onto it.
But will I really keep any piece for the whole trip?
My leggings already have wholes and need to be replaced, it gets warmer, and I might not need my hoodie anymore, very soon…
…my wardrobe isn’t a fix thing; it is constantly changing and adapting.
Too my own surprise I even took too little clothes with me. I guess because I was traumatized by the overly heavy bags of the first trip.
Two flea markets later I found the missing pieces. They aren’t perfect, they have flaws. Even better, because that’s what inspired me.
Upcycling and hand sewing.
Every time I read one of 
Now I have no choice.
The hand sewing plus me being very exhausted from cycling each evening is going to make this a very long process. This is going to be some very slow fashion.
At the same time, I want to focus more on the photography part of my work. Therefore, I am crossing all those beautiful places and sceneries, it would be a shame not to use my surroundings to my advantage.
I might not have an atelier with me, but the perfect lightning and backgrounds.
And what am I actually working on here?
A pair of leggings and a body.
The body was meant to be practical, but isn’t, so it should rather become a T-Shirt, with maybe some extras. I might try my embroidery skills on it. Or see what I could create out of the left-over fabric.
The leggings are my new cycling outfit to be and a statement against my choice for black colour. The trousers are basically ready. I just cut the leggings to the preferred length. With the leftovers I am planning some sort of crop-top, which I am not sure to have enough fabric left for.
Creating a new concept of very slow fashion on the road...
...this is going to be my project for the next days and weeks.
Thank you all for visiting, and have a wonderful week!
