"Pirate" Shirt 🏴‍☠️


This was a great adventure for me!

I was not so sure about the fabric because I'm not so fond of beige,
but thogether with the black and white stripes it was quite nice.
Anyway, the boy fell in love with the shirt right away 
and found his pirat sword and hat and was ready to play!

The shirt is made of jersey and the collar and the collar-stand is cut in one piece.
- and I found a popping color for the buttons!
It makes me Happy to see how much he appreciate it😄
I have also made another shirt for him earlier with printed jesey. 








Pattern is from Ottobre kids 06/2011.



 

Welcome to my Sewing Studio! I love sewing and it makes me in a good mood to create garments ;-) Happy sewing everyone! ---

Incredible journey...

My friends have asked me several times; why don’t you apply for the Sewing bees? “This is not for me, I said. It’s far too much rush with time limits to complete the projects”. All of a sudden I’m right in the middle of it! To be honest I didn’t think about applying before my niece called me on my holiday and said; “aunty, I wanted to apply for you, but I couldn’t answer all the questions, but you have to sign up for this competition.” I had a look on the link she sent me on FB, and after hesitating for a while I thought; Why not give it a try! I didn’t think so much about it before I got a phone call before Christmas, and I was asked if I could come for an interview in January.Wow! I was so excited and couldn’t tell anyone..! (only my beloved husband) You can see my lovely niece, who is a fabulous model for me ♥                  She is wearing a  Coctail Dress from an earlier project. I was so nervous when I travelled to NRK in Stavanger, but I tried to do my best. I wa

"Puzzle" Dress

Image
    This is another technique I had to try by Shingo Sato. It was a lot of work sewing all these pieces together, but it was worth the effort! As you can see there are no side- or shoulder seams for the top. I started with sewing the upper part of BurdaStyle pattern #107 05/2016 and draw the pattern lines on the top as you can see. I had to sew all the corners very carefully to get the best result. I choose to use the skirt as the pattern shows. I like this pattern a lot and have made a blue/black Dress , and also a  geometrically Dress  earlier.

Fancy Pockets

This is my new TR Dress based on  Shingo Sato's Transformational Reconstruction. It's time consuming since the sewing has to be very precisely, but it's worth the effort!  As you can see, there are no seam on the shoulders or at the sides of the top. The dress is based on pattern #104 from BurdaStyle 10/2016. It has fancy pockets, but still it's feminine. I have used woven linen, but I had to wash it before sewing to keep the color nicely. I have only lined the top, and I'm soooo Happy to finish the dress ;-)     Burdastyle pattern #104 10/2016 I have made  Pink Dress  of the same pattern earlier.

Part 2. 3rd Ep.Sewing Bee

Image
We are ready for a new challenge!  The 3rd challenge for this episode was to transform 2-3 garments and make an evening dress for a 16-year old girl within 3 hours 30 minutes. All the models are ready and waiting with our sewing-places. My choices to transform were a lace dress and a kimono from my wardrobe, both bought in Japan. I feel the garments are a bit of my soul.. :) I wanted to impresse the judges with a Japanese technics on the front part of the dress. It's not an applicque as it says on the drawing.  Normally you sew an applique on the garment and it's much easier,  but I made a draped heart and sew it together with the front part. I had to try the dress on my lovely model Malene to see how much I had to adjust. I used the pink part of the kimono to make the draped heart. I also had to make some inserts at the shoulders and the side panels to make it fit better. Malene is

This is a painted picture of the pier in Bergen on the wall at Scandic Byparken Hotel  where we stayed this time.    Here are all the HAPPY sewing-friends ♥ at Media City Bergen  :) I'm wearing my  TR Dress  which I have posted earlier. At first we had a nice conversation with the NRK producer and project manager,  Kristin Helgeland Hauge, and we also had a nice chat with the NRK psychologist. We got champagne in the glasses, and finally we were going to watch  the 1st Episode of the Norwegian Sewing Bee, #Symesterskapet.  We laughed and it was a lot of FUN seeing ourselves at the TV show! ;-)) I hope the viewers who will watch, will enjoy it!  I felt we were back in the sewing studio, and I was really stressed...! Here is our Lovely host for the Seewing Bee, Christine Hope.  She won the female Comedy Price  in April this year, and we just LOVE her ♥   The judges; Tine Solheim, haute couture-designer,  Atelier  in Oslo  and Andreas Fe
