....which I'm sewing for my big sister. It's a dress with narrow straps - I love wearing that myself. It's so nice when the weather is hot.
I hope that my sister likes the shape of the dress too. I used the same pattern as I did on the 2 tunics, which I made in spring.
At first I thought that the straps seemed to make the neckline far too small - I actually was afraid that it wouldn't be possible to put it over my sister's head. Luckily Anne-Sophie tried the dress on...and she could get her head through! Then my sister definitely fits that part too.
I have 3 fabric covered buttons, which I'm going to sew onto the front of the dress. The fabric I used for them, is supposed to look like cross stitches...I really like that idea - to print it on instead of embroidering it.
How the buttons are going to look on the dress, I don't know...but hopefully fine.
Dear Ulla,
ReplyDeleteagain they are very nice your buttons, so one just has to copy that idea... thank you for it.
I wonder what this very sweet and summer light tunic does look like in a whole (or when being worn). It looks so nice, airy (can one say that?) just perfect for warm summer days as you said.
Your sister will like it, I'm sure about that and the buttons - please show the result, I'm curious as well.
You too have a nice Tuesday evening and thanks for your comment,
Nina
what a fabulous gift.thanks for introducing me to your blog and for your comment on my flickr pic.....i have taken up your suggestion about the colour...thanks
ReplyDeleteSnyggt!
ReplyDeleteUhh...det er god stil! På med de knapper.
ReplyDeleteDu har altså bare sådan 'et godt øje' for alle de små detaljer. Elsker dine kreationer og inspirationer ;-)
ReplyDeleteSkønne knapper!
ReplyDeleteLookes lovely ;-)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteand i love the pretty buttons !!
i'm just back from vacations and how i wish i could sew , but my sewing machine broke down last month :(
Dear Nina,
ReplyDeleteI will never get tired of using fabric covered buttons, and if I can passs that on, it's just great. ;))
I will see if I can make Anne-Sophie try on the dress. Then you can see it on. I think it's airy - yes, one can say that ;)) - with all that width.
I hope my sister likes it - it's a surprise dress for her. :))
Have a nice day...
Ulla :)

You are very welcome, elsy - and I'm happy that you found my blog as well. :)
I will look forward to see the result of your fabulous embroidery... :)

1000 tak, Anna :) Jeg håber, at min søster synes det samme. ;))
Jeg holder så meget af hvidt tøj her om sommeren - det minder mig om glade dage ved vandet og i haven. :))
..............
Mange tak, Camilla :) Nu mangler jeg bare at stryge kjolen og så kommer de på - knapperne. Jeg har ikke helt besluttet hvordan de skal sidde. ;)
...............
1000 tak, Jeannette Mariae. Det er så rart at vide, at der er nogen der kan lide det jeg laver.
Det var faktisk pga. denne kjole model at jeg købte mønsteret i første omgang. Jeg ELSKER stropkjoler og -toppe. :))
.................
Mange tak, Anne D. :) Jeg er også helt tilfreds med knapperne i det stof. Ja, faktisk sværmer jeg for de fleste stofknapper, ;)
.................
Thanks a millon, Gitte. Nu er jeg spændt på at give den til min søster. Jeg havde tænkt, at den både kunne bruges som kjole og som tunika med gamacher under. Men det skal jeg selvfølgelig ikke bestemme. ;))
.................
Thank you so much, Valerie.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.
Too bad that your sewing machine is broken. I hope you get it done soon - then we all can enjoy your beautiful work again.
Jeg er sikker på, at din søster bliver rigtig glad for det smukke stykke håndarbejde.
ReplyDeleteDu laver vidunderlige ting, Ulla!!
Gad vide hvordan det går med din Spice? Min hviler i kurven, jeg tror den venter på køligere dage...
Det er jeg glad for at du synes, Anne. 1000 tak. :))
ReplyDeleteJeg har smidt kjolen i min storesøsters postkasse i dag, (da de var på tur) så jeg er spændt på at høre om hun passer den - og kan lide den??
Jeg tror, at min Spice har det på samme måde som din. Lige nu er den 14-15 cm lang og ligger i min strikkekurv. Det blev simpelthen for hedt at sidde med den, da solen var meget fremme... ;)) Sådan noget vejr kalder på bomuld.
