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.

Eximia sweater x3 and Framalo give-away

Celebration time at Sofilantjes*! You must have seen all the beautiful eximia sweaters that everybody made for this celebration week at Sofilantjes. Look at all the amazing fabric shops that are participating. Today is the giveaway at Framalo who is giving away 1 eximia sweater! Go over to the Facebook page of Framalo to find out what you need to do to win a free eximia sweater!

Today I am showing you three more eximia sweaters with the beautiful fabric that I received from Framalo. I picked out the purple sparrows by Chat Chocolat, which is a very soft and beautiful sweat fabric that is nice and warm, so perfect for winter.
For the girls I sewed two short eximia sweaters, which are perfect over dresses as you can see. It is just like a bolero but then a bit longer and warmer. I love the look of the sweater on top of a dress. It is just perfect to still wear the summer dresses but then with a nice warm sweater. For the cuffs and the neckband I used striped ribbing.
For myself I sewed the medium length, just like the first version of the eximia sweater I sewed for our eldest. I love this length it looks different from a regular sweater but it wears so comfortable! And it has pockets, just perfect. I combined it with black ribbing that I also received from Framalo. In the first picture I wore the sweater over a skirt but also on top of pants it looks great, such a versatile pattern.
Framalo has a great selection of fabrics, as well as wool for knitting. Besides the supplies for sewing and knitting you can also have a ladies night, a homeparty or follow a workshop at Framalo. It is a Belgian webshop and the shipping is only 1 euro to the Netherlands and Belgium so definitely worth checking out! Thank you Framalo!
If you have not bought the eximia sweater yet, you can still get it with a 25% discount until the 24th of December.

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...
