brace skirt/dress


As I still had a bit of the jeans fabric left from the frog dress, I decided that I wanted to try to make a dress with braces. I had another dress and a pair of old brace trousers as model but this design is my own. I put a lining just on the upper part of the dress. The bottons are antique ones from my special botton store (3m x 3m, with a looot of antique bottons in boxes, classified by colours) and the brace clips are reused from a pair of old braces. I have surprised myself and finished this one also before Little N's birthday on sunday and now I cannot decide which one she will wear... what do you think?

+ I love to sew in this fabric
+ The dress size is very adjustable so hopefully she can use it for a long time

- I put the bottons on the front and not the back

cute girl in LUSTIG clothes


This is Alva, the sweet girl of my friend, to whom I sent these jeans and this tunic. Of course I am pleasedthat the clothes were appreciated and as what I can see the girl seems very happy! This is the most important! I hope she will use them much. Thank you so much for the photos Kattis!

elefant rattle


This is the latest project: an elefant rattle, that makes a tjin-tjin noise when you shake it, as I put a small rattle in the head. I have named it Svea after my grandmother, who is very ill at the moment and may be leaving this world soon. It is so sad when people you love has to die, even if they are old. Luckily they will always stay in our hearts.

To you grandma' !
