From Russia with Love ♥

I think it's not so hard for you to understand why I fell in Love 

with this gorgeous silk chiffon in St Peterburg!

The pattern I have used is one of the 60's Vintage BurdaStyle Pattern Collection. 

I got the pattern collection when I was the lucky winner with my Holiday Dress  

when I participate in the Sloper Member Model Challenge :)

 It's an easy pattern, but I think it's nice. 

I want all the colors and flowers in the fabric to glow!

The pics are from our garden with yellow roses :)

 

 I have shorten the sleeves and used a rolled hem. 

For the lining I have used micro satin.

Blue-Flower Top

I'm together with my lovely sister in law on our way to Vilnius to celebrate our mother in law's  93-years birthday!    

I'm wearing my second top made from      BurdaStyle 02/2018. I have combined a   lovely viscose fabric together with jersey at the back. It's a nice detail with the gathering at the neck.                          

The first top I made was with a vintage jersey which you can see here if you like.

Top with Bow back

This is my kind of fabric and I fancy it very much!

The pattern is from BurdaStyle 02/2018.

The little detail with the bow at the back makes it a bit special.

We are on Arlanda airport on the way home from

our "Fabric-Safari" in St Peterburg

Lace Dress with a twist of Lemon :)

I knew this pattern from before when I made my dress with applique

I wanted to try it once more with this beautiful cotton lace fabric 

I bought in a local shop which I was the lucky one to open in January. 

If you like you can see the video here

Red carpet at Radisson Blu Astorija in Old Town Vilnius 😄

I thought it would be nice with yellow lining.

I also cut a yellow strip and sew a rolled hem on both sides so it doesn't fringe.

On top of it I sew a piece of the lace fabric, gather the it on both sides 

and hand stitched around the neck.   

I have just cut around the flowers at the hem, 

and I think it's a nice finish.

ORANGES in St Peterburg ♥

When the show for the Norwegian Sewing Bee were made,

we decided to travel on a Fabric-Safari once a year.

This year Tanja invited all the Lovely Sewing Bees 

to Russia to her hometown St Peterburg 😎💗

I bought this fun fabric at Krestoffer 

I have tried this pattern two times before, but never with jersey.

I love jersey because it's so easy to move around and 

it's great for travelling!

If you like you can see the first jacket I made here

and my white jacket here :)

We are so excited to meet at Oslo airport!

My jacket was a perfect fit together with Tanja's cool velvet pants!

Finally arrived at St Peterburg airport ✈

Here we are on a boat trip to Peterhof Palace
