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.

This weekend I sewed three pairs of mittens! They are perfect gifts and perfect scrap busters. The first pair I am showing you are the ones for our little one. The Mighty Mitts by Eldenberry Blossoms are great due to the velcro to make them stay put on the hands of your little one. The Mighty Mitts come in sizes preemie to 2-3 years. The mitts are lined so no seams to bother your little one. I used sweat for the outside and knit for the inside, but you can also use a thicker fabric for the lining if you want to make them for outside use. Make sure to size up if you are using a thicker fabric. I used velcro to close the mitts, but you can also use snaps (instructions are also included in the pattern). Don't they look cute on her? I sewed size 3-12 months, so she can use them for a long time. Fabric : Magic Wood Acorn sweat which I bought at Micha's Stoffecke . The fabric was a scrap from this sweater and this dress .
