Originally I had decided that these new materials, which I got today, were meant for certain projects.
The gorgeous, Italian yarn in cotton and flax from Garnudsalg, was going to become a summer something for me, and the grey fabric with flowers was for a tunic - for me as well.
The fabric is from Free Spirit and is called Shadow Play Pink. (I had expected the flowers to be tiny so I got a bit dissapointed when I saw that they were actually as big as a screw cap on a soft drink).
But to get back on track,this is what happened when I put the things on our little table after unpacking them. I accidently put the yarn on top of the fabric, and right away I saw tiny baby trousers and a fine little knitted sweater before my eyes. The materials go so well together with their dusty, pastel colours.
Now, I haven't decided what to make - I need to give it an extra thought. But isn't it funny how planned projects change to something completely different in the blink of eye?

Det ser godt nok fint ud. Har selv overvejet at købe det garn til fine trøjer til mine døtre.
ReplyDeleteKan godt forstå, du ser dét for dit indre øje :-)
ReplyDeleteMen så må du huske at købe noget andet til dig selv !
....godt match Ulla - er sikker på det bliver godt uanset hvordan dit valg bliver.
ReplyDeleteHvor er den bare fin kjolen i dit tidligere indlæg.....den er bare så smuk og unik :0)

Det er virkelig også noget lækkert garn, Marie-Louise. Jeg er vild med blandingen af hør og bomuld. :)) Og det var også billigt.
ReplyDeleteOg samtidig har det den skønneste sarte rosa farve - perfekt til piger i alle aldre. :))

Ja, pludselig var sådan et lille sæt for mine øjne, Miri. ;))
Men det allerbedste af det hele er, at der rent faktisk godt kan blive både en tunika til mig, og et par små babybukser! Jeg klippede nemlig tunikaen i går. Herligt! :))
............
Tusind tak, Dorthe. :)) Jeg havde slet ikke tænkt på at garn og stof kunne passe sammen da jeg bestilte tingene hver sit sted. Men det skal jeg love for at de gjorde da jeg fik begge dele ud af pakkerne. ;))
Jeg er glad for at du godt kan lide kjolen. Den var så sjov at lave, og jeg elsker jo når jeg kan lave noget som ingen andre har. :))

Oh yes, I do this all the time! I once made myself a dress from material for a quilt and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe endless possibilities are maybe a part of why we love crafting so much, Barbara. :)) And the fact that we can decide everything ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help smiling when I read about your materials for a quilt, which turned out to be a dress. So cool!! :)))
