Birds and Flowers - Skirts btw ;)

My sis and me found this reaaally cute childrens' fabric.
Awww! Birds and Flowers and Aaaww!
Great as she is, my sis bought it and I made a simple skirt for the summer for her.
Very simple, so I don't have to cut through all those cute birds ;)
There's a zip fastener in one of the seams.

Cute birds:






This second skirt was a tryout, but it's nice to wear on hot summer days :)
I used light blue polkadot cotton fabric and added some crocheted blue flowers :)

Fairytales

I saw this wonderful fabric, cotton with tiny blue flowers on it, and knew I had to make a wonderful summer dress.
The fabric is really thin, so the dress is doubled with white cotton from bust to hip :)



Very fairylike the seam is uneven and a bit longer on the back.



I added a small locket-look-a-like charm with flowers on the front because my sister doesn't like to wear necklaces, voilà - the dress already comes with jewelry ;)



Hope you like it, me and my sis do ;)

Underbust Corset + blouse

I don't know why the pics are so fuzzy :( please just klick and open them in a new tab. :(



This spring I noticed, that I don't have any corset-thingy to wear with pants.
Well, I always love reasons to sew corsets!
So I bought a wonderful fake velours-leather fabric and silk satin fabric, being very pleased that the brown leather has a faint shade of burgundy which fits perfectly to the satin.

The blouse can't be worn without the corset, because it fits really tight around the belly *g* which would look strange without the corset. But so you don't find too much extra fabric in the belly area when wearing the corset, which I think makes everything look smoother.


I added two brownish/burgundy buttons and a tiny clasp, at the back it's closed with a zip and I added another button there :)
The seam is braided.



Well - I REALLY should have ironed the blouse before taking pictures *shame* Please just ignore all the wrinkles, thanks ;)



Although I have rather (in my teenie days this would have been called "J.Lo-hips) prominent hips, I like the shape this gives me. Hourglass shapes for president!

Teaser - lots of clothes coming.

My sis and I finally had time to spend some hours outside and take pictures of a lot of older and new clothes I made.
Stay tuned!

Officer, really, I DIDN'T speed!

Money presents don't always have to be lame.
For a dear friend who is in Police Academy and will be Officer S. in 1,5 years, I made this cute little car :) (find the tutorial here)
Of course we bought the policeman and the speed trap (both Playmobil).

My girl kitten is very fashion addicted. She's always watching me when designing or sewing.
So I had to sew a comfy shirt, perfect for the cold summer mornings or just cuddling with my dear ones on the couch.
Its got overlong sleeves, because I tend to have cold hands.

I bought this fabric to sew some summer clothes, but it's a bit too thick, so it's perfect for this project. And it's the same colour as maries fur! How cool's that!

Ahhh, so soft!

boots for the little ones.

Since I want to destash my yarn, I started a little project.
I'm knitting tiny baby socks/boots for all the soon-to-be-mommies in my second home, the NatronundSoda community.

The first three pairs of boots are already on their way!
At least four pairs will follow :)

It's a win-win-win situation: I'm knitting, which makes me happy. Friends are receiving gifts, which (hopefully) makes them happy. I'm using up all my small amounts of yarn, so I don't have to throw them away - makes the environment happy *G*
