I like stripes and t-shirts with sleeves in another colour... Another long sleeved t-shirt in my favourite pattern, this time with stripes in blue, yellow, red and white. For me, a little mix of Swedish and French. Children size 108.
A long sleeved shirt in children size 108. Turquoise with printed cute owls and dark brown arms. The pattern is from Ottobre 03/2008: Octopus t-shirt. Originally with short sleeves and in size 98. I have added long sleeves and made it bigger, mostly by just adding centimeters to the length.
This model could be used for swimsuits or underwears depending of the type of fabric. I have made the pattern out of my favourite bikini pants. The seam is a decorative stitch on my sewing machine that could be stretched without breaking. The thread used is Wooly Nylon.
When sewing in fabrics with an extra stretch (like swimwears etc) I like to use this special thread, Wooly nylon. With this in the upper and lower loopers of the Serger machine you get really stretchy seams.
A couple of years ago I bought some cotton fabrics with athletic club logos from different American universities. I bought them here in Sweden at "Olssons Tyger och Stuvar".
Here is a pair of Bermudas shorts with Clemson University Tigers (I have now learned that Clemson is located in South Carolina after a Google search). The shorts is in children size 86.
Trousers in children size 98. It's a common model, to make them a little more original I've made them of two colours, blue and brown, with striped cuffs.
A skirt made with my “office skirt pattern” as I call it, same model as the one in brown and white. Length to the knees. Simple to sew and I feel comfortable in it.
It's still summer but when it gets colder it's nice to have a warm cozy sweater on. Here a blue one in sweatshirt fabric, children size 98. I didn't have enough fabric for the whole arms so I made them by two pieces. I think the seams turned into nice details.
A long sleeved t-shirt with Scooby Doo. I made this embroidery out of an image by editing it in Photoshop (reducing the amount of colours etc) and then converting it to an embroidery pattern using the software Brother PE Design.
A t-shirt in children size 104. The pattern on the fabric reminds me of a painting I did when I was at a Tivoli when I was young (by blowing out the paint on a paper that spins around, or something like that).
This top is in the same model as the previous in brown, purple and white. I have made the pattern myself by copying a bought t-shirt. The fabric is in viscose/lycra. Size 38.
Det var länge sedan jag sydde och ännu längre sedan jag skrev något här. Jag tappade inspirationen ett tag men nu börjar jag bli riktigt sugen igen! Får se om det blir något i påskhelgen. Härligt med vår!
