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' !

tunic with panties

Last time when I went to my fabric shop I saw a nice, very fine fabric in great colours. The woman in the store asked me what I would use it for and I said: well, a dress for the baby! She looked at me a bit surprised, and I think she thougt "poor girl, a dress in this fabric???", but then she smiled at me and gave me a bit of it for free. Probably she sell this fabric more for curtains or something like that. I thought it as a dress first but it turned out pretty short, so I also made matching panties.

baby set

For a good friend of mine, who may in this moment be having her first baby, I made this dress as a gift. Today I will send it to Sweden. Hope yo like it Hanna!

1 birthday dress

As I know that sometimes it takes a long time to make the garment I'm thinking of, I started to make this birthday dress for Little N (birthday in middle of september). The frog fabric is just lovely and I bought it on Tradera a long time ago but until now I didn´t dare to cut in it. It was my boyfriend who had the idea to use it for this dress and together have we created the design (the basic pattern is from a dress in a Burda paper).

dress/tunic

Together with the trousers that I blogged about before I made a dress/tunic for my friends daughter. It is made of the same fabric as the blue dres

s but I made two heart applications instead of one, and of course the botton is different, every garment I do is unique. It was thought as a dress first but I think that it will be more like a tunic, luckely my friend liked it anyway. Now I only hope that the clothes fit well. As a small gift for being my first real customer I also made a cap (the one with a heart of course).

lottery

In the world of all blogs I have now found the first one with spanish roots, which made me very happy! I am participating in a kind of lottery that Aleisa has on her blog and I hope of course that I will be the winner of the two beautiful fabrics that she offers to the winner! From now on I will surely be a faithful follower of hers. Gracias Aleisa por la inspiración!

jeans

I have made these trousers for the girl of a friend of mine. They are made of a fine, a bit elastic, jeans fabric. My friend saw and liked the long shorts with the heart on the pocket that I have blogged about before so these jeans are inspirated by them. As she wanted them for the autum/winter (in Sweden), I also put a lining.

new logo

Now I have passed from my handmade logo to a more professional one. As I am fond of the lizards I put a lizard in the swedish name for it. I am really pleased of the result!

jacket and cap

Now I have finished this set with a jacket and a cap in the same fabric. The pattern for the jacket is my own and the same as the turquoise jacket below. This time the fabric is a sturdy cotton and the size of the jacket turned out to be smaller, as the fabric is not elastic. The hat/cap is a test (first time i try to make a cap) and the pattern is taken from here (in swedish), although I have modified it a bit and put a lining also. It all turned out good and Little N looks like a train driver/trainstation worker in it ;-)

beach dress

Mostly when I go to my fabric store I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. Usually I find something that I like and then the ideas come of what to create of them. This is a fine terry fabric that I bought in various colours.

The day before yesterday I made this dress and yesterday I put it on Little N, who walked happy around the apartment with her new dress.

autum jacket

One of my favourite colours is turcuoise and when I found this material I just had to by it. I have been thinking of how to find a soloution for a jacket/sweater without zipper or a lot of buttons (even if I love buttons), for babies, and inspirated of a sweater from the clothes Julian Red I came out with this idea, that turned out really good.

The jacket has a high collar that you close with one big button. The lining is a thin tricot that cover the hole inside and at the bottom of the jacket there is a thin elastic string so that you can tighten it if you like.

cardigan

An old cardigan of mine that I first had the meaning to just get rid of, transformed to a new, much smaller one with new, happy heart buttons for Little N.

large shorts

In the same thin tricot as the dress before, I made these large shorts with one pocket, decorated with a heart application.
