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. Fabric : Starburst French Terry from Second Star Fabric Pattern : Ellis sweater from Fibre Mood Sizing : 2 - 14 Options : just 1, the colour blocked sweater Difficulty : 1 out of 5 stars Sewing time : 1,5 hours # Fabric t...

Another Sylva in the Sofilantjes family

Remember the lovely neckline on this Sylva top for our eldest? And this cute Sylva onesie for our youngest? Now there is a baby Sylva Top and Tunic* by Sofilantjes! The only Sylva I am still waiting for is a Women's Sylva 😉.
I love the Sylva line of Sofilantjes because they are perfect for colour blocking. You can use different colours for each sleeve, like I did with the Sylva top for our eldest and the Sylva onesie. You can also just use a different top and bottom part of the shirt. Just like the Sylva top and tunic the long sleeve of the baby sylva top and tunic has another colour block at the bottom.
What makes the Sylva original is the neckline, which is great for daddies as the front and the back are the same (if you use the same fabrics of course). The baby Sylva has the options of short and long sleeves and can be made in top length, which I did, and tunic length. The baby Sylva comes in sizes NB (50 cm) to 86 cm (length of the child). If you need size 80 (length of the kid) or bigger you can buy the regular Sylva Top and Tunic.
The baby sylva is on sale together with the Stella Jumpsuit until January 20 for just 4,48 euro incl tax. No code needed. Don't miss out on the sale!
Fabric: both the cat fabric and stripe fabric were small piece that were gifted to me by her.
Pattern: Baby Sylva top and Tunic (size NB - 86) (Nederlands patroon)
Sylva top and tunic (size 80 -164) (Nederlands patroon)
Sylva onesie (size NB - 86) (Nederlands patroon)

 Fabric this week: 0 in - 2 out (Total fabric in 2019: bought 0 - used 0 fabric - used 2 gifted fabric - used 0 scrap pieces of fabric) - in total 0 in 2 out
Patterns in 2019: bought 1 of which I sewed 0

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...
