<br />
I'm not doing a very good job keeping this blog alive, but once in a while I feel inspired to write a post.<br />
<br />
Talking about inspiration - the theme for this year's 'The Refashioners' challenge is '<i><b>Inspired by...(take your pick). </b></i><br />
<br />
For the 6th time Portia of <a href="https://makery.co.uk/">Makery</a><i><b><a href="https://makery.co.uk/"> </a></b></i> is hosting this great challenge, where the participants are challenged to refashion unloved garments into hopefully loveable ones.<br />
<br />
Today I'm the blogger in the spotlight. Do yourselves a favour and check how the other participating bloggers have worked their magic on some unwanted garments. One word. Wow. They are so good!<br />
<br />
Just look at <a href="https://madebytoya.wordpress.com/">Toya's</a> amazing embroidery skills. I'm in awe. And how about them ruffles on <a href="https://sewingwithkate.wordpress.com/2018/09/06/the-refashioners-2018-inspired-by/">Kate's</a> new dress?! I want that dress (but I'll let Kate keep it because I couldn't wear it half as well as she does).<br />
<br />
Well, back to little old me.<br />
<br />
I chose to let the fabric do the talking for me. I found this women's skirt at one of my local thrift shops - and I gladly paid the 40 DKK for this print. It was one of those garments that caught my eye the minute I entered the shop - and I immediately thought <a href="https://motoreta.es/shop/new-collection-aw18/girl-aw18/">'Motoreta'</a>. For those of you who are not familiar with the brand, it's a Spanish based company offering children's wear. I love their simple, comfortable yet interesting and unique designs. Just as Kate above I have a thing for ruffles and flounces - and so does Motoreta.<br />
<br />
I turned the paneled skirt into a top for Wilma. I wanted to make the flounce from the same fabric, but because of the panel shapes I would need to piece the flounce and I wasn't sure how it would drape if it had extra seams, so I chose to make the flounce from the skirt's lining (the blue) and paired it with the black crepe from one of my own skirts that I butchered for this purpose. A Gabriola skirt I made years ago - and haven't worn in about 3 years since it's to big. Another paneled skirt that gave me a challenge. I had hoped to make ankle length trousers for the kiddo from the fabric, but that just couldn't be done, so instead I made her shorts inspired by the pants.<br />
<br />
The top is self drafted - and the shorts are based on Toya's (yes the same Toya) <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MadebyToya">'The Graphite Trousers'</a>. My original plan was to hack the pattern a bit to make the wider legged <a href="https://motoreta.es/product/cala-pant-black/">'Cala'</a> inspired trousers. The shorts are just as Toya drafted them.<br />
<br />
My inspiration for the top is the 'Mariana' - I just added a back zipper (that I removed from my Gabriola skirt) instead of a v-back and buttons.<br />
<br />
Since autumn has found it's way to Denmark consider this outfit her first for summer 2019. Never have I been that well prepared before.<br />
<br />
Hope you like it - and thank your for inviting me, Portia.<br />

<br />
After an almost 5 months long hiatus I'm back.<br />
<br />
I'm not planning on blogging on a regular basis again, but this little project deserves some spotlight!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.chatchocolat.com/collections/">Chat Chocolat</a> has just released a new fabric collection called 'A Terrace in Memphis'. This collection includes lovely printed and solid knit fabrics.<br />
<br />
My favorites are the solid jersey tencels, but the summer sweat fabrics are beautiful as well.<br />
<br />
Véronique from Chat Chocolat generously offered me to try some of the fabrics from this new collection and I chose the black jersey tencel you see below and a rust brown colored one as well which I'll present on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trine.schroeder/?hl=da">Instagram profile</a> in a day or two.<br />
<br />
As much as I wanted to keep the fabrics for some selfish sewing, I instantly knew that they would be perfect for gorgeous, soft summery clothes for my kiddos. Youngest kiddo once again ran with all of it, and to see the look on her face when I first showed her this dress was priceless.<br />
<br />
My baby girl is no longer a baby girl. She is slowly turning into a young, beautiful woman, and this design paired with the solid tencel jersey is just right in every way for a tween.<br />
<br />
The pattern I used is the <a href="https://bebekins.com/products/calli-sundress">Calli Sundress by Bebekins Patterns</a>. The largest size is 10 which my tall 11 year old has long outgrown, but I figured that if I used jersey (the pattern is designed for woven fabrics) and just lenghtened the bodice and skirt some it would work for my slender kid - and as you can see I was right.<br />
<br />
I removed some width from the skirt and altered the shape of armholes a tiny bit - and then the lengthening mentioned above - that's it.<br />
<br />
Look at that back. Le sigh. If only I was 20 years younger I would make something similar for myself. It's absolutely breath taking if you ask me. Wilma agrees with me. She can't recall me making her anything prettier. You could see how proud and elegant she felt, when she wore this at her summer school party last week - and my heart melted. I feel so blessed that my kids still very much appreciate what I make for them. I'm just about to finish a simple, lovely high school graduation dress for my first born. Just at she prefers it.<br />

<br />Trine (groovy baby)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16082465303228306564noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006382774227747759.post-13496710489265316742018-01-10T08:00:00.000+01:002018-01-10T08:00:05.216+01:00The Millie Dress - International Blogtour....<a href="https://www.mixitmakeit.com/">Nicky</a>, you had me at 'ruffles'.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.mixitmakeit.com/product/millie-jurk-pdf-pattern-2-12-years/">'Millie'</a> is the first pattern release from the Dutch 'Mix it Make it' blogger/designer, and the 'she' has already taken the sewing community by storm.<br />
<br />
The pattern includes sizes 2-12, comes with short/long sleeve options - and if ruffles aren't your thing you can easily leave them out (the pattern includes a separate bodice version for the ruffle-less dress, so all the work is done for you).<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm definetely still into ruffles - and luckily so is the recipient of my most recent make.<br />
<br />
Wilma is a big girl now. Soon to be 11 years old and 160 cm tall, so I made her the largest size. The original raised waist Millie dress with attached gathered skirt is adorable, but Wilma is more in the need of tees and tops, so I modified the pattern a bit.<br />
<br />
I began with the 'no ruffle' bodice which I lengthened by 15 cm. Instead of doing vertical ruffles I made a V. I simply marked the centre front fold 10 cm down from the neckline and drew a line from the middle of the shoulder to that point. Then cut the bodice in half at that line - and added seam allowances where I separated the pattern, so I could attach the ruffle. The piece I used for the ruffle is about 100 cm long and 6 cm wide. I finished one of the long edges with a narrow serger seam (I attempted to do a narrow rolled hem with my serger - but my serger didn't agree with me. Serger: 1 Trine: 0). Next I gathered and sewed the ruffle onto the bodice and finally assambled the top as described in the instructions. I've inserted a narrow elastic through a casing at the bottom hem. At these photos the top is pulled down and sits on her high hip. When she wears some more high waisted bottoms the top will also look cute and puffy with the elastic placed at her waist.<br />
<br />
The fabric is a dark blue modal jersey that I got a loooong time ago from <a href="http://www.stofdepotet.dk/">Stofdepotet</a>, I believe. <br />
<br />
Photo bombed by the (accidentally color coordinated) big brother and his beloved basketball.<br />
<br />
That's right, babygirl - dab and defense!<br />

post. Indiesew has kindly sponsored the pattern, I've used for this post - and
I'll link directly to the pattern just below.</i><br />
<br />
So very simple - yet so perfect. <a href="https://indiesew.com/products/avid-seamstress-sheath-dress#product">The Sheath Dress </a>designed by The Avid Seamstress could very well become one of my favorite go to patterns when I want to make something fast, easy and flattering. The original pattern comes with a round neckline, invisible back zipper, optional pockets and two sleeve lengths to choose from....and an elastic waist option.<br />
<br />
<i></i>
As you can see I altered the pattern a bit and made higher neckline. I also omitted the zipper, pockets and waistband. You could even cut the back on fold if you have enough fabric. Oh, and the dress is also unhemmed = new dress in less than one hour. What's not to like?!<br />
<br />
This is a beginner friendly pattern. The instructions are utterly amazing - you are thoroughly guided through every step of the construction. The Avid Seamstress definetely has some of the best instructions I've some across. <br />
<br />
The fabric is a beautiful pleated velvet from <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/pleated-velvet-knit-fabric,us,4,TMAH5131685.cfm">The Sweet Mercerie</a>. I need more of this. Must have green velvet culottes. And a tee. And another dress....oh, and a jumpsuit.<br />
<br />
<strike>My new Christmas dress, check!</strike> Apparently my 19 year old daughter has a new Christmas dress. Sigh. <br />
<br />

The Human Christmas Tree - over and out!<br />

Some months ago I was kindly asked if I would be interested in joining a Lotte Martens fabric Blog Tour. Didn't need to think twice about that offer. The hard part was to pick the fabric for my project - as there are so many <a href="http://www.lottemartens.com/nl/211-collection">beauties to choose from</a>. <br />
<br />
At the moment you can only buy Lotte's fabrics at <a href="http://www.lottemartens.com/en/content/21-stores">European shops</a> - but soon you'll be able to buy from non European shops as well.<br />
<br />
For my project I chose the gabardine fabric <a href="http://www.lottemartens.com/en/print/26-kopere-regen-print-.html">'Koperen Regen'</a> (Copper Rain) - a beautiful copper colored rectangle/square 'rain' print on a dark navy blue background. I used one panel (60 cm x 145 cm with the print beeing on one half of the 145 cm width) and 1 metre of the corresponding uni colored gabardine for Wilma's new jacket.<br />
<br />
I had initially planned for some selfish sewing with the fabric - that was until my kiddo caught a glimpse of that copper print....heart eyes all over place.<br />
<br />
The sturdy material is perfect for bags and outerwear so we agreed on some sort of coat - and preferably a simple design to highlight the beautiful fabric.<br />
<br />
I browsed through my collection and finally found just the right pattern. A design from the Japanese sewing book 'Casual Sweet Clothes'. The patterns in the book are designed for women. Small women. My 10 year old is almost 160 cm tall and just the height these patterns are designed for so I figured the smallest size would fit her - and right I was. The fit is spot on. The jacket is based on the patterns D and Q from the book. <br />
<br />
As you can see I used the copper print for the back of the unlined jacket. The hood is supposed to be lined, but I just couldn't find the <i>right fabric </i>for the lining (and I was out of the main fabric) so instead I finished the seams with bias tape. Now I wish I had finished all seams with tape. The jacket has cropped raglan sleeves and patch pockets. Closes with zipper and one button. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately the jacket isn't suitable for the current cold Danish weather - but it'll be perfect for spring time.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for inviting me Lotte and Eva.<br />

<br />
Betty has gone through some changes and is now called <a href="http://shop.sewpony.com/product/issie-top-pattern-english">Issie</a> - but she's still the same great easy fitting strech top but now with even more options to choose from.<br />
<br />
She can be made with or without ruffles, with or without ribbing or even with a little tie collar - and comes with instructions for a dress length as well.<br />
<br />
We adored her back then and love her even more now.<br />
<br />
I made Wilma a size 12 cropped sweatshirt version in french terry from <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/ochre-slub-french-terry-fabric,us,4,TMAH4591207.cfm">The Sweet Mercerie</a>. I kept the ruffles but instead of a waistband I lengthened the bodice a bit (more at the back) and made tiny side seam splits. I also omitted the neckband and instead of folding the right side towards the wrong side of the fabric I did it the other way around and topstitched. I also sewed the ruffles on top of the bodice with two rows of stitches and left all the edges raw. I like this edgy touch paired with the girly ruffles. The sleeves. I added width and length to the bottom and turned them into balloon/bishop style sleeves. 2017 - year of the sleeve. <br />

post. Indiesew has kindly sponsored the pattern, I've used for this post - and
I'll link directly to the pattern just below. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<a href="https://indiesew.com/products/hey-june-trevi-top-and-dress#product">Trevi</a>, you had me at 'high cut shoulders'....<br />
<br />
High cut, cut-away, cut-in, American shoulders (an expression I've learned from Burda) - I'll take it. There's just something about this type of shoulder cut that I can't resist - and with this beautifully designed subtle cut-away on the Trevi you can wear an ordinary bra under it. Win.<br />
<br />
The (original) Trevi Top & Dress pattern designed by Hey June (one of my absolute favorite Indie designers) is a versatile and flattering trapeze top or dress for woven fabrics<i> </i>with high cut shoulder straps and a full button down back.<br />
<br />
Well, none of my makes have a button down back and the top is made of knit jersey. As stated above - a versatile pattern and so easy to customize.<br />
<br />
For the top I cut both front and back on fold - and I finished the armholes and neckline with self drafted bands. I straightened the original curved hem on the back piece and turned the front curve into ties. I know, I should have taken some photos of the changes I made, but trust me they are very simple. The pants are the <a href="http://www.metermeter.dk/ninni-culottes-named-clothing.html">Ninni Culottes</a> by Named Clothing. My fourth and not last version. The fabric is a pleated satin. <br />
<br />
The dress version is actually a lengthened top with the original curved back hem and straight hem front piece with an added gathered skirt. The fabric is a woven crepe with a little stretch. I cut two back pieces as I was planning to make a tiny slit opening at the back neckline, but it turned out that no opening was needed - I can easily pull the dress over my head without (and I could have just cut the back on the fold with this woven version as well). <br />
<br />
The original version with the buttons is beautiful, but hey - if I can avoid button holes I sure as hell do so. <br />

The top is a slightly modified version <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/girls-maxi-dress-062015">of this Burda pattern</a> and made from leftovers after finishing a gorgeous dress for myself (not blogged or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trine.schroeder/">Instagrammed</a> yet - but will be as soon as I convince that Instagram husband of mine to shoot some decent photos). <br />
<br />
These are the only red items in our wardrobes. I can't remember last time I wore red. Truly. Must be 20something years ago. Now I want more. I foresee a <a href="http://www.metermeter.dk/catalogsearch/result/?q=kyoto">Kyoto tee </a>in a bright red jersey....<br />

Trine (groovy baby)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16082465303228306564noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006382774227747759.post-43358255479584256762017-06-22T15:00:00.000+02:002017-06-22T19:22:52.802+02:00Farrah Summer Blog TourLucky me. Not only did I get to play with the <a href="https://chalkandnotch.com/shop/womens-farrah/">Farrah</a> Blouse and Dress pattern by the talented <a href="https://chalkandnotch.com/">Chalk and Notch</a> - I was also allowed to pick fabric from the one and only <a href="https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/shop/MissMatatabi?ref=l2-shopheader-name">MissMatatabi</a> for this tour project.<br />
<br />
This was actually my second pick. My first choice was a striped (linen) fabric, but MissMatatabi was almost out of that one, so instead I went with this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/509197597/japanese-fabric-kokka-3-min-ss2-grey?ga_search_query=voile&ref=shop_items_search_5">light weight Kokka cotton voile</a>. Is it wrong to say that I'm sort of happy that the stripes were sold out?! That's how pleased I am with this outcome. The Farrah and this fabric is a perfect match imo.<br />
<br />
Farrah is designed for woven fabrics (however I have seen some lovely jersey versions as well) and has an adorable ruffle detail:<br />
<br />
- at the sleeves as I've done (view A)<br />
- or at the front (view B).<br />
<br />
Both blouse and dress length include a hi-low hem with side seam slit.<br />
<br />
As you can see I opted for the blouse version and did some minor modifications to get the look I had in mind. The ruffles are so cleverly sandwiched between the front/back panels and an under arm gusset. Originally the beautiful ruffles just follow the curve of the design in all of their lengths but I wanted to be able to wear the blouse belted, so I had to move the ruffles up a bit or else they would get caught in the belt. In order to do so I simply gathered my ruffles and thereby shortening them prior to attaching. I really love the belted look but of course it can be worn without as well. I didn't make any other adjustments besides the ones already mentioned, so this is how it look on a 176-ish cm lady. <br />
<br />
With the coupon code 'trine' you can get your own copy of the <a href="https://chalkandnotch.com/shop/womens-farrah/">Farrah pattern</a> with a 15% discount this week. I know it's designed for woven fabrics but I might just have to make a ponte version as well. I think the stable knits would be great for Farrah. And, if I had another 3 metres of this fabric I would definitely turn it into a kimono. The print is just so beautiful. <br />

Be sure to stop by the other amazing participants. I love what I've seen so far.<br />

post. Indiesew has kindly sponsored the pattern, I've used for this post - and
I'll link directly to the pattern just below.</i><br />
<br />
The kind of dress that you want to wear all the time. Comfy yet elegant. This is the perfect way to describe this one! The <a href="https://indiesew.com/products/true-bias-lodo-dress#product">Lodo Dress</a> is the latest release from the talented Kelly of <a href="http://truebias.com/">True Bias</a>. Cap sleeves, two lengths to choose from, slightly cocoon shaped (you had me at cocoon shaped) and a little slit at the centre back if you fancy the longer version. Three pieces of fabric - and a very clever finish with woven facings on neckline and armscyes. Yes, woven finish on a knit dress. And it works very well. Very clean and no bulk. You genius, Kelly.<br />
<br />
This long version is sewn in a medium weight scuba knit. I'm definetely making a ponte Lodo as well. These stable knits are perfect for this design I think. The shorter dress is a must have for summer. So, summer. Please come. For real.<br />
<br />
Me: 'Look at my lovely new dress. <br />
<br />
Husband: 'Giggle'<br />
Me: 'Why are you doing that smiling with sound thing? Don't you like it?<br />
Husband: 'Yes, it's nice. Giggle' <br />
Me: ????<br />
Husband. 'Now you just need a Santa hat'<br />
Me: ???<br />
Husband. 'Then you'll be Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo'<br />
Me: ROTFLMAO<br />
<br />
If you're a South Park fan you'll know....<br />
<br />
Well, this giant poo still loves her dress.<br />
<br />
Kelly has a great sewalong for the Lodo on her blog. A clever and beginner friendly pattern. Beautifully shaped dress with a brillant, clean finish. A dress that can be worn with sneakers or heels. Perfection. A little stroke of genius. <br />

(SNL - you just give me a call if you need a new comedian...) <br />
If you haven't, just follow the links to all the participants at the very bottom of this post. And if you already have visited the first 3 blogs on the tour, well - do it again. They are amazing, right?! I can't wait to see the rest.<br />
<br />
For me it was love at first sight when <a href="https://indiesew.com/">Allie </a>showed us the line drawings for her now released <a href="https://indiesew.com/products/allie-olson-highlands-wrap-dress#product">Highlands Wrap Dress</a>. Yes, it's designed by no other than beautiful Allie - the co-founder of Indiesew. It's not like any wrap dress patterns I've seen before. Two lengths to choose from, short or no sleeves, an optional wide elastic at the back which provides a great fit at the waist, button/snap closures and ties. Designed for wovens. Most wrap dress patterns are designed for knits I think - so I was thrilled to learn that this one is for woven fabrics. Just freakin' awesome! Light to medium weight fabrics with a lovely drape are best for this design.<br />
<br />
I chose to work with a wool/viscose blend from <a href="http://www.stofdepotet.dk/product/vaevet-fin-sart-graa-meleret-70-uld-8832/">Stofdepotet</a>. I love this outcome but I might choose a fabric with a little more drape next time I sew the Highlands Wrap Dress - a rayon/viscose, tencel or something with similar drape. And I think I might size up the bodice next time as well because I had to make some adjustments a long the way to achieve the right fit for me - and I'm thinking that some of my struggle could have been avoided had I chosen a larger size. I really should have listened to Allie's '<i>when in doubt make a muslin of the bodice'</i> suggestion before cutting into my dress fabric. But, I admit it - I rarely make muslins! Lesson learned.<br />
<br />
I truly love everything about this design. Flattering flowy skirt with side slits, the subtle blousing effect at the bodice, the sleeve options - and I definetely must make a maxi version for summer! This, dear Allie is so unique!! The weather in Denmark is not yet for bare legs, so I layered my Highlands Wrap Dress with some wide leg trousers. <br />

The ribbed velvet is from <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/velvet-rib-effect-jersey-fabric,us,4,TJAH4021251.cfm">The Sweet Mercerie</a>. Great drape and stretch.<br />

Olivia features a slightly tulip shaped skirt with front pleats, in seam pockets and tie closure. For an even better fit you are instructed to attach an elastic to the inside waist. Clever detail!<br />
<br />
Named Patterns are designed for a taller than average woman, and some reviewers have mentioned that the skirt is pretty long - so I decided not to add length to the skirt, which I normally would do for my 177 cm. The length is spot on for me. In fact so perfect that I wish I had added a couple of centimetres, because I've left the skirt unhemmed to keep this length. <br />
<br />
I omitted the pockets. I love pockets but I was afraid they would add a little extra bulk to the side seam - and I don't need extra fabric in my hip area! Also, the tulip shape was not flattering on me so I removed come centimetres from each side seam tapering towards the hem.<br />
<br />
I love how this dress fits. Really. It's so great. I kind of feel that it was designed exactly for me. That's how great I feel about it. But, I bet that's how a lot of women would feel about this beauty. If you're looking for at not too fitted wrap dress you can stop your search. This is it. No gaping, no flapping skirt, a waist seam that stays in place - freakin' amazing is what it is. <a href="https://indiesew.com/products/named-clothing-olivia-jersey-wrap-dress#product">Olivia</a>, I love you. I'm going to make you a lot of sisters, I promise. <br />
<br />
And of course I had to wrap myself in pale pink velvet. It's so soft.<br />
<br />
'Oh, look at that weird lady constantly petting herself'.<br />
<br />
Velvet will make you do that. You can't help it. <br />

We didn't buy the fabric back then, but she let me know that a tote in that particular fabric was on her wish list. The perfect print for a vegan - so of course I had to order some to surprise her. <br />
<br />
Recently Stoff & Stil launched some new patterns - among them a pattern for a<a href="https://www.stofogstil.dk/moenstre/accessories/tasker-2"> super simple tote bag</a>. In fact the pattern includes two different tote bag versions. I remember Lone mentioning something about a zippered version, so that's the one I chose to make for her. It's a very easy pattern. Beginner friendly. It's an unlined bag and the most tricky part would be installing the zipper. But, as I've mentioned before I'll take a zipper over button holes any time! I was surprised to learn that the tote has a little inside pocket. Great detail. I did place the handles at the top of my tote and not all the way down the bag as suggested on the original pattern. That's the only small change I did. <br />
<br />
The Vegan Tote was very well received by the new owner the other day and I'll definetely make a version for myself as well. I have some pretty floral fabric begging to become a tote.<br />

<br />
The occational bribes and a potential pneumonia - that's just part of the routine when you're trying to please your blogger mum who has (yet another) oh so important deadline.<br />
<br />
'Of course I'll pose bare armed in the snow for you, mum - anytime'!<br />
<br />
No kid was harmed during the photo shoot, I promise. It was cold but fast. And to sympathize with Wilma I wore flipflops during the shoot. Our sessions are mostly done just outside our house and last for about 3 minutes. Tops! <br />
<br />
The Tattooed Snow Queen is wearing a slightly modified version of my sweet and talented friend An of <a href="http://www.straight-grain.com/">StraightGrain</a>'s newly released pattern the <a href="http://www.straight-grain.com/?product=laure-qipao-dress-english">Laure Dress</a>.<br />
<br />
The Laure is a mix-and-match pattern with multiple dress, collar and sleeve options.<br />
<br />
Laure is first and foremost inspired by the Qipao Dress which dates back to 1920s Shanghai. A truly beautiful design - and I will definetely try that version at some point. I have just the perfect fabric in mind.<br />
<br />
Wilma doesn't have that many tunics/blouses to wear with her beloved jeggings at the moment so I decided to turn the Laure into such. The pattern does not include this shorter version but it's so easy to adapt. I simply cut the dress at waist length and added the (shortened) skirt that comes with the drop waist version of pattern. Et voila - a Laure Blouse.<br />
<br />
This is the 'fine mandarin collar and cap sleeve' version of the pattern.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.stofdepotet.dk/product/fastvaevet-sart-rosa-med-soelv-glimmer-streg-3861/">pale pink cotton fabric from Stofdepotet</a> has a subtle silver thread down the stripes. It's almost linen like in the structure. Adorable. <br />
<br />
I've got nothing but love for An's patterns. They are extremely well drafted and the instructions are so great and detailed.<br />
<br />

Always. And this one is a bit different from the coatigans I usually sew.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://butterick.mccall.com/b6370">Butterick B6370</a> is very loose fitting and has a front that extends into a draped collar. A couple of darts in the front (hidden under the collar) add a little shaping and hold to the collar. The coatigan is unlined but designed with a front facing. I skipped the facing - didn't have enough fabric - and just did a couple of flat felled seams and hemmed the front instead. I used a rather light weight wool blend for the jacket. <br />
<br />
I really like the outcome. A camel colored coatigan is always a good idea, right?!<br />
<br />
The dress. Well, if the coatigan is simple I don't know how to describe the dress. Four seams, friends, four seams. No hemming.<br />
<br />
I was supposed to do a Vogue V1482 with this beautiful <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/pink-pleated-satin-with-silver-foil-printed-fabric,us,4,TCTAH4051233.cfm">pale pink pleated satin from The Sweet Mercerie</a>. I had the front cut out when I realised that I didn't have enough fabric! So, I had to be creative and make my own and super simple cocoon sack dress.<br />

That pretty much sums it up.<br />
<br />
This book is a beauty from the beginning to end - the words, the photos, the illustrations, the colors.<br />
<br />
This (beautiful) book is not only about sewing. As described by the author herself: <i>It's (also) a personal story about unexpected transformation.<b> </b></i>It's about how sewing saved and altered <a href="http://sanaeishida.com/">Sanae Ishidas</a> life when she was diagnosed with a chronic disease and on top of that lost her corporate job back in 2012.<br />
<br />
The book includes twenty simple projects. So, if you're new to this sewing business this truly is a great (and beautiful - did I mention that) book to start with. Sanae will teach you how to make origami pillows, adorable tooth fairy pillows, baby kimonos. pouches, camera straps and dresses just to mention a few. And you'll want to make it all. <br />
<br />
The book is divided into four chapters - summer, fall, winter and spring. Each chapter starts with a little personal essay about how sewing - and a healthier life style - brought back happiness and well being to her life.<br />
<br />
<br />
The origami pillow described as deceptively complicted-looking. At first I wasn't sure about the deceptively part, but of course Sanae is right. The (beautiful) pillow is really easy to make. It's all about sewing straight lines. So why not make two when you're at it.<br />
<br />
I made a pillow in a solid pale pink (surprise) woolen fabric and a reversible one in ash rose/tree print. I want to fill my home with these beauties.<br />
<br />
//UPDATE<br />
<br />
Random.org has chosen a winner - lucky no 29 aka Sheila Johnson. Congrats :-)<br />

<br />
Well, she still needs about 24 cm before she reaches the height the Named Clothing patterns are designed for, but hey, my 150 cm tall soon to be 10 year old rocks these pants anyway, right?! They're full length and not the designed ankle length cropped on miss W - and I did have to take the smallest size 32 in a bit, but that's it.<br />
<br />
The fabric is french terry in a beautiful vintage rose color from <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/indexus.cfm">The Sweet Mercerie</a><br />
<br />
The top is a little self drafted thing with a side seam split in a gorgeous rose colored liquid velvet.<br />
<br />
Yes, more velvet and more to come - and yes, she's also wearing a matching velvet scrunchie. <br />

<br />
Gorgeous color, right? There's really not much to say about the design. A slightly cocoon shaped dress with curved hem and high neck. It's all about the fabric.<br />
<br />It began with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BNWrb3HhOcf/?taken-by=trine.schroeder">green kimono a few weeks back</a> and now this little number. But I promise/warn you, friends, this is only the beginning....I want all the velvet, Santa!<br />

A long, oversized striped vest. Good idea, me!<br />
Cut cut sew sew. Meh. Wrong length and wrong something with the draped front. No, not the drape. Wrong fabric for the design. Dammit.<br />
<br />
Hmmm, what to do?! If you unpick a little here, cut here, use the front facings for sleeves - with a seam down the top of the sleeve or else you won't have enough fabric - then maybe you'll be able to turn this failure into an oversized coatigan for Miss W instead. It has to work because the <a href="http://www.stofdepotet.dk/product/vaevet-uldmix-mega-laekre-brede-striber-brun-sort-6151/">fabric is soooo good</a>. <br />
<br />
Happy dance. It worked. I used a pattern from <a href="http://www.b-trendy-magazine.com/magazines/b-trendy-7/">B-Trendy Magazine</a> as base - lengthened the pattern a bit, drafted different (huge) pockets et voila. A gorgeous new oversized coatigan for Wilma. Perfect for the Danish fall.<br />
<br />
The shirt is from Zara and the jeggings from H&M <br />

</div>
<i>I'm part of the Indiesew Blogger Team and most of the patterns used in this post are sponsored by Indiesew. I'll link directly to the patterns below.</i><br />
<br />
I've got two makes to show you today.<br />
<br />
First up is the <a href="https://indiesew.com/products/megan-nielsen-axel-skirt#product">Axel skirt designed by the brillant Megan Nielsen</a>. Did she just write skirt? Oh, yes she did. This is in fact the Axel skirt combined with a bodice from one of my favorite knit dress patterns. The original fitted pull on skirt pattern is designed with centre seams at both front and back - and you can wear it as you please. If you prefer to have the slit at the front you simply just do so. Smart, right?! I eliminated the centre front seam and put the slit at the back of the skirt/dress. The skirt sits at the natural waist so it's pretty easy to pair with a bodice as I've done here. The high neck dress has a short (almost) invisible zipper at the back.<br />
I did in fact also make an Axel skirt - but completely forgot to photograph it. It's made of stretchy medium weight faux suede. Again, a fabric with great stretch and recovery, perfect for the Axel. <br />
<br />
The fabric is a soft scuba with great stretch and recovery. This kind of fabric is perfect for pencil skirts and fitted dresses - but also for more roomy designs as cocoon shaped wear. <br />
<br />

<br />
My second make is the <a href="https://indiesew.com/products/named-clothing-alexandria#product">Alexandria Peg Trousers designed by Named Clothing</a>. These easy to sew cropped pull on pants have lovely deep pockets and brillantly designed pleats at the front. You can add a drawstring if you prefer. I added a little length to the pants and made the waistband a little wider than the original one. I also made the elastic fairly loose so the pants sit lower on my hip. I've got super skinny calves and ankles so I tapered the already pretty tapered pants even more. I've used a knit fabric with a little stretch for this version, so I've no problem getting them on. Well, even if I'd made them with a non-stretch woven I'm sure they would slip right over my feet any way.<br />
I love how these pants turned out: the fabric choise is perfect imo. One of my favorite makes this year!!<br />

She has previously released the very popular <a href="http://www.inthefolds.com/therushcutter">'The Rushcutter Dress'</a> and my guess is that The Acton Dress will be just as popular if not more! It's that good, my friends. Really.<br />
The Acton is available in 10 sizes (!) from bust 76 cm to 131 cm and includes 2 different skirt options and 2 bodice options.<br />
<br />
My version is bodice B paired with skirt A (without pockets) in a size E. It is a little loose fitting so I might blend between sizes D and E the next time I make the dress. I lengthened the dress a couple of centimetres - and will probably add more length next time. I love for my dresses to hit just below the knee. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely not complaining about this version - I'm very very much in love with how this baby turned out. My favorite part is the bodice/neckline. I love that high neckline with the racerback and cut away shoulders and I'm definetely making more Actons once summer hits Denmark again, cause yes - I'm standing bare shouldered in the snow! I could also see this bodice paired with a more fitted skirt - or a drapey maxi skirt version. Yes!!!! I want all the Actons!<br />

The other day I showed a little sneak peek of the dress <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BMnwr7ghyIk/">on Instagram</a> promising more info on how I would winterize the Acton. Here I'm wearing it under a belted blouse - but it also looks great with a fitted turtleneck under or perhaps styled with a warm cardi and ditto tights.<br />

<br />
This bad boy hasn't been around for that long but he's already hugging women all over the world, and I'm not even ashamed to admit that I've fallen for him too. Hard!<br />
<br />
I've been fooling around with Karl for a week or so now and boy is he good - real good! Hugging me all the right places.<br />
<br />
Since I'm all about sharing you can have your own piece of Karl if you're into that kind of guy.<br />
<br />
Today <a href="http://schneidernmeistern.com/">Monika of Schneidernmeistern</a> - the mastermind behind - <a href="http://schneidernmeistern.com/karl-ebook/">is releasing the pattern for your new beau</a>. With an introduction discount even.<br />
<br />
Here's how Monika describes Karl:<br />
<br />
<em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666699; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Karl is a cozy, high collar, sweater dress in midi length. The unpretentious design creates a timeless look. Karl has a slightly oversized fit, a funnel neck and a side pocket.</em><br />
<br />
My Karl is a slightly modified size 40. I've lowered the funnel neck a bit and taken in the dress mostly at the sleeves/upper body and also lengthened it a bit.<br />
<br />
This is My Blue Karl. I posted My Green Karl on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BMBexvaBnT4/?taken-by=trine.schroeder">Instagram</a> a couple of days ago with the original higher funnel neck and I love both versions.<br />
<br />
The green is a wool jersey and the blue is a modal jersey - with a gorgeous peach skin surface.<br />
<br />
I want all the Karls....<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mrs. Karl<br />
<br />

That's the sound of me online ordering more (the very last few metres) of the fabric I used for Wilma's new pants - 'cause this mama got pant envy! If my pants turn out as well as I hope I might make another pair in <a href="http://www.stofdepotet.dk/product/vinterjersey-bloed-som-i-bloed-laekker-sildeben-4458/">this warm and cosy looking fabric</a>.<br />
<br />
The tee, well, I've already made one for myself using the same <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/sand-light-suede-fabric,us,4,TSCAH4351156.cfm">soft faux suede from The Sweet Mercerie</a>. My version has short dolman sleeves - but I'm dreaming of a long sleeve high neck top in this fabric as well. Click Click.<br />
<br />
The blazer. I was able to squeeze this one out of 1 metre of the now sold out <a href="http://www.thesweetmercerie.com/sand-taupe-two-tone-woollen-fabric,us,4,TLAH4831169.cfm">two-tone woolen (poly) fabric</a>. From the very last scraps I was able to cut two pockets that I might patch to the jacket.<br />
<br />
The drop crotch pants are selfdrafted.<br />
<br />
The tee is based on this <a href="https://jalie.com/jalie2805-girls-women-s-t-shirts">great pattern from Jalie</a> which includes sizes for both children and women!<br />
<br />
The blazer is based on a vintage Vogue pattern.<br />
<br />
Tap tap tap. That's the sound of me on my way to raid my daughter's closet.<br />
