Emily's 2nd Knut dress, the one she asked for in blue! Same pattern I drafted myself, same Hilco fleece in the same print -- just blue instead of pink! We're just as happy with it as the pink one, and the two dresses are in heavy rotation. (full length photo here.)
For me, another farbenmix Zoela, this one made from a Hilco fabric called "smoothie", which is not much to look at (kind of oatmealy in fact) but is so warm and soft -- if I could get this in brighter colors I'd dress in nothing else all winter! The applique is cut from a corduroy print called "Anoushka" -- it reminded me of the Rose Princess from Oz, or maybe the living flowers in Alice...just so pretty! The neckline is a wee bit of campan -- I actually co-ordinated these 3 fabrics by accident while moving some stacks of fabric around; and now all three are set aside for an outfit for next Fall for Emily. (I'm thinking a skirt of the corduroy, with a top that has more of the stripes than mine does.)
For Emily, a Zoe as well, this in blue and pink striped campan with an awesome velour iron-on -- I like this one so much I may have to make a Zoela for myself to match!
I've also made Evan another Föhr this time from a heavy cotton rib knit -- it came out like a sweater, really, but I'm happy with it (and so is he!) I lengthened the sleeves a bit this time and it fits much better.
I've also been turning out pajamas left and right for all three of us -- maybe when the next set are done I'll stack them all up and take one big photo!
And now....which sewing project to tackle next?!
all fabrics (except the knit I used for Evan's Föhr) and the velour iron-on from Buntefabrics.
Sarah, you are just the sweetest! This weeekend I received your letter, and I just want you to know I'm so grateful - what a sweet thing to do! Ronja will be wearing my version of Emily's dress, as soon as I'm through with the shrovetide project I took on... ;o) And the stuff you have been making is gorgeous! It's good to see that your domain move went smoothly as well!
ReplyDeleteLove Knut dress v2. :) I have to say the inside of the Knut knit is so soft. I am not sure what I am going to do with mine.
ReplyDeleteThe zoe and zoela are great! Gotta love the campan stripes. I bought some in the petrol colourway. It arrives tomorrow on a plane with my friends from Chicago!
Lovely dress! I'm so happy that I found your blog. Lovely and interesting sewing. I especially liked the Moomin dress. We are huge Moomin fans too!
ReplyDeleteLove them all and can't wait to see pix of the pjs.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing is on hold, other than hemming a pair of suit pants for my Evan. But looking at your stuff makes me want to fire up the Singer and get cracking.

Thanks everyone!! I'm really happy with the dresses (the shirts as well!) I'm interested to see whether the pattern work in a thin fabric for warm weather...if not, that's okay though.
