Skirt from thrifted skirt


Hotpatterns had a free pattern ( via fabric.com) a 8 gore skirt with elastic waist and a simple hem, fast and easy. I bought a skirt in a thrift shop that was kind of dirndl style, lots of fabric that I used.
The skirt is really easy to sew and will look great in different fabrics, I´m thinking of adding pockets and making it into a six gore skirt, but not tonight, I´m knitting Estonian lace, a new one, the rusty one is finished and blocked and will be published one of these days

Estonian lace is fun, challenging aka nupps and beautiful

Jazz progress

Think Pink!

This picture was in the correct position when I uploaded it! So please turn your head!
It´s also Onion 2031, red chambray

I did the elastic both on shoulders and arms a little different and I have not ( yet...) added any thing Odd Mollyish to this

The button is the same as in Hannas X-mas blouse

I also started to knit a Cedar Leaf Shawlette, download from Ravelry, I´m using a cotton/ linen blend yarn

Onion 2031

I spent friday in Copenhagen and bought two of the latest Onionpatterns. This is one of them

Since my plan is to sew more denim I went to Stof och stil here in town and bought 10 oz denim that I turned into a dress, flatfelled seams and topstitching and it looks loke this:

It turned out to be a little to big at the neckline so I cut a V to take away some fabric. I think I would like to wash this before using it and after finishing it I went back for red chambray and I+ve almost finished a blouse too from this pattern.
