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.

The fairytale hoodie is one of my favorite patterns from Made by Runi. I love the skirt of the hoodie. Since our girl prefers dresses over vests, I hacked the fairytale hoodie by taking out the zipper and sewing a dress.
The first time our daugther saw the dress, she said she didn't like it as much because there was not enough colour in the dress. To make the dress more appealing I decided to sew the same dress for her doll. Being able to twin with the doll hopefully makes the dress more likeable.
Well it turnes out she loves to twin with her doll. This was the first time sewing for a doll and I always thought it would be very finicky, however it turned out to be a very quick sew and so cute! I will sew some more clothing for the doll for sure!
# Fabric this week: 0 in - 3 out (Total fabric in 2019: bought 98 new fabric - used 93 fabric - used 9 gifted fabric - used 23 scrap pieces of fabric - upcycled 2 pieces of fabric) - in total 98 in 127 out
The first fairytale hoodie that I made is still one of her favorite coats (too cold now unfortunately). Besides omitting the zipper I also added 3 cm to the bottom of the skirt. Next time I would add even more (probably about 5 cm). The hoodie is not designed to be a dress (lengthwise), but I prefer the dresses I sew to be on the knees so they can wear them for a year of longer.

In addition I also hacked the front and back of the dress by adding a colour block. The colour blocked sleeves are included in the pattern. I continued the same line form the sleeves to the front and back pieces. Additionally I added another line for the bottom colour block.
