Merry belated christmas and happy belated new year to you. I hope you had a wonderful time. I had almost two weeks off from work and spend the time with family and friends - and quite a few hours in my sewing room. Such a bliss.
My new year resolution is to update this blog on a more regular basis. Let's see how that goes.
I have shown the below pictures of the christmas gifts I made for friends and family on Instagram before, but I like to make a blog post with them all - at least I'll then remember not to make the same next year...
I made quite a few christmas gifts this year. I try to make something I hope the recipient will like - and something that doesn't require too much fitting.
This year I have been most happy about the laceblouses I made. They are all made from elastic lace purchased locally from shops with no website - sorry. The two blouses are from a turtleneck pattern from the november issue of Burdastyle and the cami is selfdrafted. The two turtlenecks have a zipper in the back and are closed with a small button.
And the kimono craze continues...
I made this size 7 kimono in polar fleece for my niece with a matching one for her teddy.
I made this blue kimono for my husband. He has been asking for one for a long time, so it was about time to make him one. He has been using it almost everyday since, som I guess he likes it! I would have liked to show you a picture of him wearing it, but he couldn't be persuaded to pose in it on the www.. He mumbled something about future job options...
This last kimono is my favorite. I made it for my sister in a lovely liberty tana lawn - a long resident in my stash. In fact I actually gave her a toiletry bag last year from the same fabric. About time she got the matching robe right? She's on maternal leave right now and lets be honest - There are quite a few days you never get out of your robe when entertaining wee babies, so the robe better be pretty.
This last gift is a woolen scarf for my mum and almost doesn't qualify as sewing. It came with a pair of silver snowflake earrings. I almost kept this scarf to myself since I like the fabric so much. It's a teal wool blend with subtle flowers from Stofdepotet. I'm afraid the fabric is now sold out.
I have already started planning my sewing for spring. More about this later - had to wrap up christmas first! Have you started considering what to sew for spring? Right now I'm mostly thinking about dresses, floaty blouses and a new spring coat... So many options, so little time..
Happy sewing
Mette
Uh, hvor er det bare smukt! Jeg skal netop til at sy en blonde rullekrave - og overvejer nu i sidste øjeblik om jeg skal prøve dette mønster i stedet for det først planlagte. Krave og bluse er klippet ud i et stykke her, ik'? De er så smukke, Mette.
SvarSletDen uld der - den er bare så fin - også til en kjole :-)
Kram (fra en endnu en blogforsømmer)
Tusind tak Trine. Jeg kan bestemt anbefale dette rullekravemønster. Jeg synes det er fint, at der ikke er nogen syning mellem krave og resten af blusen, når det er blonder, den er syet af. Jeg har syet en til mig selv, en veninde og min søster og alle har været tilfredse med mønstret, som har siddet godt på flere kropstyper:)
SletJeg har godt set din fine kjole i samme uldstof - lige der fortrød jeg faktisk, at jeg ikke havde bestilt mere end en meter:)
Jeg overvejer lidt, hvorvidt jeg skal fortsætte med at blogge, da jeg synes, det er så svært at få taget ordentlige billeder. Jeg har lige bestilt en automatisk udløser og et stativ og håber, det kan hjælpe ikke at være afhængig af velvillig mand eller bestukne børn til at gøre det beskidte arbejde. Derudover håber jeg også at lidt forårslys vil gøre det bare lidt nemmere...
Jeg har gjort mig samme tanker mht at blogge. Jeg købte et stativ for et par måneder siden men har ikke kunnet snøvle mig sammen til at afprøve det endnu :-)
SletPludselig følte jeg mig ikke helt så alene blandt de teknisk udfordrede med en lidt for hektisk hverdag...:) Skal give dig besked om det lykkes mig at slå stativet op, når kvalitetsstativet ankommer fra Kina om en måneds tid:)
SletHej. Ved du om man kan få fat i mønsteret på turtleneck bluserne? Eventuelt ved køb af bladet fra november eller blot mønsteret hvis det sælges nogle steder. Tak for inspiration.
SvarSletHej Cecilie. Undskyld den lange svartid - jeg har været på vinterferie:)
SletMønstret på bluserne er den øverste del af kjole nr. 113 fra Burdastyle november 2015. Du kan enten låne bladet på biblioteket eller downloade dette mønster alene her : http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/long-sleeve-dress-112015--2
Hvis du har en blog eller ig-profil, må du lige tagge mig, så jeg kan se hvad du får syet:)
Dejlig dag til dig.
