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.

Our favourite dress from Made by Runi for our girls, me and my husband is the Fairy princess dress. Here you can find the previous one that I sewed. I just love that double skirt with the high-low of the top skirt. So during my last sewing weekend I sewed two for our two eldest girls. I could not really decide on whether long or short sleeves would be the best thing, I made one with long sleeves for our eldest and one with short sleeves for our middle one.
I never buy fabric for a certain project, which sometimes makes it a challenge to get the pattern pieces out of the fabric. The dresses have full circle skirts and I wanted to make the skirt for the middle one not as big. With the help of her I made a 3/4 circle skirt.
A couple of weeks ago I went fabric shopping with her at the Nooteboom Textiles store, wow, what a dream place is that. Lots of beautiful fabric, the only drawback is that you have to buy a whole bold at once. Most of the time these bolds contain 12 meters of fabric, but sometimes you are lucky and they only contain 5 meters (indeed only 5 meters). The fabric of our eldest was bought at the Nooteboom store, so indeed I own 5 meter of that fabric (well less than that already). But I knew it would be a favourite in our household and indeed, everybody loves that fabric! So I used it for more projects during our sewing weekend, more will follow.
If you love the fairy princess dress just as much as we do you are in luck. The fairy princess is pattern of the week, so hop on over to the Made by Runi website and buy the Fairy Princess this week (April 6 - April 12) with a discount.
Fabric: the colourfull fabric for our eldest comes from Nooteboom Textiles, I bought the narwhal fabric at de Stoffenstraat. I buy my uni fabrics also at de Stoffenstraat.
