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.

Wrap dresses are always lovely and the Nori wrap dress and top from Elliedactyl is a favorite here! Especially since you can do some colour blocking!
I bought the Nori wrap dress and top from Elliedactyl already 2,5 years ago but never sewed one up. During my sewing weekend in February I sewed one for our middle daughter in flamingo fabric. She loved it! When I came back our eldest wanted one as well! I planned one out and traced the pattern, however there were other projects that got more priority in sewing. Then I had another sewing weekend. These weekends are perfect for sewing all those project I have planned but never had the time to sew up (at least other projects got more priority). So the first project I sewed during this sewing weekend was sewing a nori wrap dress for our eldest, also in (different) flamingo fabric.
The Nori wrap dress starts at 3M and I must say I am usually persuaded to buy a cute pattern when the pattern starts with small sizing as our girls (especially the middle one) is small in her waist. Additionally, I like my skirts/dresses to be long and the dress length of this dress falls nicely on the knee. So that means they can wear it for a long time (at some point in time it will be tunic length and they can wear it with pants as their chest size does not change much over time ;)). Lastly, I love the faux wrap style and it looks great on our girls. The dress takes up quite some fabric as it has a circle skirt (look at that twirl), but it looks amazing!
Fabric: All fabric comes from de Stoffenstraat.
Pattern: Nori wrap dress and top from Elliedactyl
Sizing: 3M-12Y
Options: dress length (mid knee length) and top length (tunic length) with a circle or a gathered skirt and tulip sleeves.
Difficulty: I would say it is an intermediate sewing pattern.
