Its coming along!.. slowly!.. but how can it be finished when I don't even know what it is yet?

In green silk?

Yes, I think so!

Got a clue?

The beginning of something new.. Just wait and see! 

Blondes and Bouquetts

My signature skirt! I have made many, many, skirts like this, but this particular one is my favorite. Especially together with this redesigned silk top, which originally was a neglisje. 

The skirt is made of a curtain fabric, which gives it the nice and ''fluffy'' shape. I love it that it is super slim in the waist and wider at the bottom. 

 

It reminds me of summer and sun! 

A wonderfull gift

My mother was out traveling in Belgium, and when she returned she brought with her two wonderful little knitted collars. They are so beautiful! 

Two weeks ago I bought a simple blue dress at a sale, and decided to ''dress it up'' by sewing on one of the collars. I makes the dress look a little ''schoolgirl/nun'', but never mind… I like it! So you see, you don't always have to do it from scratch. Personally I often think redesigning is just as fun as sewing everything yourself. With just 10 minutes work my dress was transformed! 

The other one however… I can't decide what to make with it!  I was considering making a jacket, but also a shirt. Or maybe a dress? And also a sweater! I just can't decide…  Its so precious! 

Still waiting?

Finally I repaired the camera!!.. which was apparently only out of battery?

So now maybe I can show you some of my new creations soon, which now have grown in number! Im soon finished with two christmas dresses and the purple knitted sweater is only a sleeve short..

After moving away I'm starting to miss all my fabrics.. There are so many things I wish I had bough along! I feel amputated..

So still waiting? I know I am... I cant wait to get this blog really going!

Minni Mouse for Halloween?

Since my camera is still out of order.. I'll take you yet again into my archives!

This ''Minni Mouse'' dress, I made from an old pillowcase, some scraps of a polkadot fabric and an old zipper from a coverall. I think it might have been as much as five years since I made it... My general style has changed quite a bit since then, but still, I think this dress is super cute! And the best thing about it is that its all redesign.

It is the zipper in the back that is used to open and close the dress, since the zipper in front is just a decoration. Of course (!) you can also unzip it, but you'll only see the lining... So, nothing interesting there! Unless your into red silk...

This dress could either function as a Halloween costume as Minni Mouse, or simply as a summer dress!  You decide... I've used it as both! Its even been a part of a old catwalk I had in my home town, where my model wore big red minni mouse shoes. It was great!

The red ribbon at the bottom is actually hand sewn... I think back at the time when I did that! Oh, the good old time before I understood the many amazing opportunities the sewing machine gives you, besides sewing in a straight line.


Hang out, I hope I can show you some of my new projects soon! And quess what, theres more on the go! Hope you had a wonderful Halloween tonight!
