Asymmetrical Ellis sweater from Fibre Mood

There is a new Fibre Mood * released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater . The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley.   Our girl picked out the fabric herself, at least the fireworks fabric. I picked out the matching fabric. The print works well with the large piece. The sweater is a bit roomy, that is because there is a size 6 and a size 8 and she doesn't fit in the size 6, but the size 8 is still a bit big on her. Well she can grow into it. At textielstad I bought a couple of multicolour threads . I felt this was the perfect project to try it out and indeed it matches the colours in the sweater very well.

How to Colour Block the Coffee and Tea Cardigan?

Another video tutorial. Again with colour blocking. Do you see a pattern in my tutorials? I just love colour blocking! So I made another video tutorial for the video party! This time on how to colour block the Coffee and Tea Cardigan by Annelaine Patterns.
The Coffee and Tea Cardigan has two different types of cardigans in the pattern and is therefore perfect for adding a colour block. Do you want to know how to color block the coffee and tea cardigan? Have a look at the video tutorial I made:
The Coffee and Tea Cardigan comes is sizes 9M until 18 and also comes in women's sizing. Both types of cardigan have two different lengths, classic or duster length, fitted or relaxed sleeves, short or long sleeves, the option of adding cuffs or not and the option of adding pockets to the cardigan.
I used the duster length of the Coffee Cardigan for our 2 year old. I also added a colour block to the sleeves as I did not have enough of the panda fabric to complete the long sleeves. The cardigan is quite a quick sew and fits perfectly. I love this style of longer cardigans, just like the cardigan I made recently for our eldest.

Fabric: the red sweater knit is a leftover of this sweater I made. I bought the fabric at Caresstoffen. The blue sweater knit comes from my fabric store in Italy. The panda fabric is a scrap piece I found in the exchange pile on our sewing weekend.

Basically Jalie Blog Tour: Bella Fit and Flare dress

This week it is time for the Basically Jalie Blog tour and a giveaway! For this blog tour it is all about basics. Although a dress might not be a stereotype basic, it is for our eldest. She wears a dress every single day, or at least as often as possible. So I chose the Bella Fit and Flare dress (3460) from Jalie . Read until the end for more details about the giveaway! I love the silhouette of this dress and so does our girl. When she spins around it twirls perfectly. And did you see that lovely back? I finished the back differently. In the pattern they add elastic to finish off the neck. I was lazy and just added a neck binding that I serged to the dress. To accentuate the princess seams I added piping to the front seams. I used the same fabric that I used for the neck binding. Because we are still in winter season I also made a tank top to wear underneath the dress. I used the Raglan Tee, Racerback Tank and Tunics (3245)  from Jalie in the same fabric as the ...

One Thimble 22 blog tour: Piper Pinny dress

My daughter loves twirly dresses and then suddenly during summer we saw this denim dress without any twirl factor and she instantly loves it! Complete mind changer. So when I saw the Piper Pinny in the newest One Thimble 22 *, I knew our girl would just love it. I have a large fabric stash, but besides that I also have a large upcyclying stash. Especially with denim, I just can't let go and feel like I need to save every denim jeans that we have owned in our household. So when I have a denim sewing project I try to use my large pile of old jeans.This pair of jeans comes out of my mother's stash as my stash is in storage due to our upcoming move. I love upcycling because you keep all the cool elements of the original garment. The Piper Pinny is a denim dress with a vintage and a knee length. You can also add a front faux placket, tie straps or buttons and you can use the pattern pieces with or without a centre seam for the front and back. I seam ripped the old jeans th...
