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.

Look at that those cute suspenders, it makes me long for spring and summer! The new Lunch Bag Suspender Skirt by Candy Castle Patterns * is a skirt with two lengths. I made the skirt at the knee length, there is also a more vintage above the knee length. You can add the suspenders but you can also leave the suspenders off but I love the suspenders and feel that makes the skirt super cute. What I really like about a pattern is when you can use the pattern both for woven and knit fabrics. This skirt can! The bunny fabric is knit while I used woven for the suspenders. It really is a quick sew and it has two types of pockets, so lot of options to make different types of skirts. I used the basic waistband option, also the paperbag waist option is included.
