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.

I sewed up another set of Made by Runi patterns. Made by Runi patterns are pretty popular with our eldest, she loves the skirts and dresses (remember this dress and this coat) and the colour blocking options of the garments (the more different colours the better). As a summer outfit I sewed up the Loosen up top and Feeling Fabulous skirt.
With
the great summer weather we are having our eldest could use some extra
tops. The Loosen up top has different options. There are two different
colour block options, a plain top and there are two different back
options. I made the racer back option, but there is also a tank option
for the back. The colour block options are great for scraps as you don't
need much fabric. Due to the gathering at the front and back it is a loose fitted top. The pattern has a band at the bottom of
the top. I left the bottom band off so our girl can tuck the top in her
skirt, which she prefers. I just added 2 cm to the bottom of the skirt and hemmed it.

Our
girl is getting more and more interested in skirts, which is great as
you can combine skirts with t-shirts or sweaters depending on the
weather. I feel skirts are more versatile than dresses. Of course, one
drawback with skirts is that you need to find matching clothing
(choosing is quite challenging for our girl). So instead of sewing
another dress I sewed a skirt. I loved the double layer skirt of this dress
and so does our daughter. The feeling fabulous skirt also has two
layers, which makes it a great twirl skirt. I finished the skirt with a
rolled hem, one of my favorite ways to finish circle type of skirts.
Fabric:
Loosen up top: the triangular fabric was a leftover from this favorite dress of our girl, the purple uni coloured fabric came from my stash.
Feeling fabulous skirt: the blue flamingo fabric came from our exchange pile during the sewing weekend (I sewed a dress with the same fabric with a different colour that came from de Stoffenstraat). The red and orange striped fabric comes from Caresstoffen.

Sizing; 80-164 (12M - 14Y), also available for adults (Loosen up top and Feeling Fabulous skirt).

Difficulty: easy, although the binding on the top is always something that slows me down in sewing.
