Preparations


Well, I promised you that when my back got a little bit better, I would show you some work.

However it's not something completely done. It's just a bunch of tunics, which I have cut out - while using the pincushion, which used to be my mother's.

I love all of those little people holding hands around the pillow. And it brings me so many lovely memories of my mother creating, when I was younger and a child.

A while ago my mother wanted to throw the pincushion away, because she no longer is able to sew (due to the fact that she got partly paralysed from a stroke).
Luckily I prevented the pretty treasure from going to the bin.

Three of the tunics are for me - the one with the letters and flowers is meant to fit a girl size 5.
My tunics are actually all cut from the same pattern as this. I like wearing that tunic so much - the fit is quite good, I think.

I want to make the tunics very different from each other by adding various details. Hopefully I will have some new clothes before autumn comes.

  1. Jeg glæder mig til de færdige resultater ;O) Stoffet ser skønt ud - rigtigt glade farver.

    Jeg har også min mors gamle nålepude, og faktisk også min mormors gamle nålepude. Der er noget hyggeligt og sødt ved de gamle nålepuder, synes jeg.

    Hav en rigtig god week-end, især nu, hvor din ryg har det bedre, hurra for det

  3. Ja, jeg glæder mig også, Rosanna - jeg har stor mangel på tøj i tiden synes jeg, så disse tunikaer er en nødvendighed. :))

    Det er helt specielt med gamle sysager - jeg synes de rummer så mange minder. Jeg har også alle min bedstemors sysager og det er som en skat synes jeg. :))

    Rigtig god dag i morgen, og hold da op for en skøn fødselsdag i fik holdt. De piger glemmer ikke sådan en kreativ dag lige med det samme. :))

    ...............

    Mange tak, Jeannet. :)) Og i lige måde - du er bare flittig synes jeg. Den ene skønne ting efter den anden forlader dine hænder. :))

    Ja, helt slippe for ondt kan jeg aldrig, men det er dejligt når det letter lidt. Så kommer energien lige så stille tilbage. :))
