Bateau neck Cocoon Dress

Jeg har leget lidt med en halvgammel traver. Mit cocoonkjolemønster i voksen størrelse. Jeg har efterhånden lavet utallige versioner af denne løstsiddende kjole. Et hit i juletiden! Og alle andre tider, man ikke gider trække maven ind. Ergo altid et hit.

Jeg har givet kjolen en bådhals og en slags flagermusærmer. Kjolen har fået en rundet kant forneden både for og bag - lidt længere bagtil.

Den er syet af det lækreste stof - en modalblanding fra Stofdepotet. Det falder bare så flot, det stof og har en helt fantastisk lækker peach skin overflade. Mums, siger jeg bare. Og nu vil jeg fluks klikke et par meter mere hjem, inden det bli'r udsolgt!

I've been working on refining my cocoon dress pattern in adult size. Not that I was unhappy with these dolman versions - or this one (or the many, many others I've made in the past) - just wanted to try something new.

This little self drafted number has a bateau neckline, rounded hemline which is longer in the back and fitted batwing sleeves.

This is oh so comfy. A perfect combination of fabric and design.

Speaking of the fabric. A soft, beatiful draping stretch modal fabric with a peach skin surface. Almost silk like. Really really gorgeous.

 

 

White Dress

Wassuuuuuup. I'm back. Sorry for beeing mia on the blog - but you know,  it's just so fast and easy to share photos of your makes on Instagram.

However, I think this little white rayon challis number deserves some blogging. 

As most my creations this is a very simple one. A bodice with bust darts, bateau neckline (my favorite kind of neckline), extra long tapered sleeves and a skirt with curved hemline. Oh, and elastic waist. Nothing fancy - but this might be one of my favorite makes this year. 

I adore the fabric that has tiny irregular black dots all over.

'Her har I mig tilbage' som Kurt Thorsen ville synge det. Jeg har dog ikke rusket tremmer, ej heller ligget på den lade side (mht kreative udfoldelser). Lidt mere lad er jeg, når det kommer til fotografering med mit kamera. Det er så meget hurtigere lige klikke lidt med mobilos og smide det på Instagram. 

Den her bette hvide sag fortjener dog lidt blogomtale, synes jeg. Den er så sød og pæn, ik'? Simpel som vanligt. 

Den består af en overdel med bådhals, brystindsnit, extra lange ærmer - der bli'r smalle forneden, et skørt med let kurvet kant forneden og elastik i livet. 

Stoffet er vævet viscose - fra Stof og Stil, hvis ikke jeg husker forkert. Jeg har haft det hyldet en rum tid. 

Den er rigtig fin sammen  med min nye ternede coatigan. Stof fra Stofdepotet.

Nå, men det var så den første af sin slags. Nu vil jeg tegne en udgave med lommer, og så sy mig en 3-12 stk. mere :-)

 

The Cocoon Dress // Sew What Club

It's really happening. Today my very first sewing pattern is released. The Cocoon Dress.

At first it will only be available through the Sew What Club - so hurry over and sign up for a membership if you haven't already. You can read my introduction to the club right here.

The Cocoon Dress. If you have followed my blog or my Instagram profile for a while you've probably seen this type of dress before as I made the first version more than a year ago.

Now the pattern has been graded, tested and tweaked and is ready to be launched. Yay!!!!

The pattern will be available in the sizes 2-12 and is designed for knit fabrics.

The founder of The Sew What Club - beautiful, sweet Kelly - has introduced the dress on her blog Sewing In No Mans Land and she's pretty pleased with it, I think. (She's made 7 versions so far - thanks for the love, Kelly :-)

Without further ado I present to you the Cocoon Dress (Pattern).

Wilma is wearing a size 9.

Fabric from Stofdepotet - sold out I'm afraid.

 Look at that adorable little one - aw.
