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.

I love to sew clothing that are nursing friendly now that our baby girl is born. Or even hack patterns so that they become nursing friendly. Today I am showing you how to hack the Nivalis dress for Women by Sofilantjes * to make it nursing friendly. I also wrote the tutorial in Dutch so see below for the Dutch description. In addition to the nursing hack I also hemmed the sleeves differently. I liked the inside of the fabric and therefore just put the wrong sides of the fabric together and sewed it together with a very small zig zag stitch. In order to make it nursing friendly I added an invisible zipper to the colour block. I added a second invisible zipper head so that you can open the zipper from two sides. When the zipper is closed both zipper heads will be together either on the left or the right side. So now on to the nursing hack. Hope you like it, if anything is unclear let me know!
