No, I don't have to shave my legs... - Or - Finally a wearable muslin!

Ok, here's my big secret, well not to people who see me IRL, because it's kind of obvious to them, but on the internet you can choose what you show and not, and I haven't been showing my head in pics because... (here we go)... I don't have any hair. Any, at all, anywhere....It's called Alopecia Universalis, the condition I have. If you want to know more about Alopecia, like there are three kinds, google it for information. So, no, I don't have to shave my legs ever. But I would be glad to do it twice a day if I could get my hair back. You feel kind of freaky without hair.

Well, instead of hair, I need something else to keep my head warm, because it's darn cold without it. I have a wig, but it itches, so I don't like it that much. Instead I ordered some headwear from Christine Headwear and they have been great.

Here's the one I have in silk/cotton.



 I have three so far, but today I felt that I should find out how they're made, so that maybe I could make something similar myself. So I did, and here's the result, not bad, right?!




I was really sloppy making it, not finishing the seams properly and so on. But it looks great and it was just meant to be a muslin, which is totally wearable. Yay! The fabric is viscose I think, and I actually bought it a quite a while ago to try and make a scarf like this.

Well, bye for now,

Johanna
