YORIK

I just love this pattern for boys - but of course you can use it for girls just as well. This one is made from Farbenmixs  ultra soft Fluffy Stars fabric, turquoise jersey for the hood lining and petrol/turquoise striped ribbing.

Server problems

As our website has been down all day today due to server problems, we will announce the winners of this weeks giveaway on Monday, 30th. Thank you very much for your understanding!

Interior decoration

All you need is: a wreath, I used a straw wreath I've had for ages and never knew what to do with it, some fabric scraps, ribbons, buttons and felt. Wrap the fabric around the wreath (I secured the beginning and end with some pins), sew little rosettes and cut out some leaves from felt and attach them with buttons to the wreath. Add some ribbons if you like and you will create your own, very unique decoration (mine has found its place on my sewing room door, could you guess :-)

Quintia

After I sold all the girls coats at the last Flower Show in September, I really needed to fill the space on the clothes rail with new ones. This Quintia has been lying around, cut and ready to sew, for a good couple of months but somehow there was always something more urgent to do. Anyway, I finally finished it yesterday. The outer fabric is spinacker and it's lined with pink baby cord. Embroidery design from Huups!

New dress

Do you know the problem? You buy tights and then you find your child has nothing really to wear with it (well, except a denim skirt). So what does woman do? Sew a dress to match them!!!
The pattern is from the Ottobre 6/2007, the HILDA dress pattern. I had to shorten the sleeves (they are always too long for some reason) and added some contrasting Campan jersey for some colour. The hood is lined in plain pink jersey, oh yes, and the brown fabric is jogging sweat. It is already a favourite with Leoni, but now definitely ready for the wash...

Update on the house

There is not much work going on on the outside just now, but even more in the house. My sewing/work/stock room is nearly finished. It went from this 

To this:

25 m² all to myself, where I can lock the door and not have to tidy up after I've done some sewing. My cutting table still has to go in, some decoration and curtains up, but I'm soooo happy!!

5 years - where has the time gone?

I wish you all a Happy New Year and what could be better than starting into 2012 with a month full of giveaways? Dots n Stripes is celebrating it's 5th anniversary this month and every week you will get the chance to win something. This week we give away

3 x 5m ribbon of your choice.

 

All you need to do is leave a comment here, on facebook or on our website and tell us which ribbon you would like to win. The three lucky winners will be announced on Sunday, 8th January.

Good luck!
