Den mindede mig om en lille quiltet jakke jeg syede til Anne-Sophie, da hun var omkring 1½ år gammel. En stribet sag med prikket kontrast stof og pink kantebånd. At hatten var en knap så heldig model er en anden sag, men der kan man bare se hvordan ens smag ændrer sig med årene. Mens andre modeller forbliver fine og brugbare - og ikke mindst tidløse.
Den type jakke mønster jeg så hos Centilong, har jeg kigget efter længe. Ja, faktisk forsøgte jeg dengang i 1993 at finde endnu ét, så jeg kunne lave en større jakke til Anne-Sophie da den på billedet blev for lille.
Men nu er den her snart...og jeg skal købe mønsteret. Også selvom det er 16 år for sent og Anne-Sophie forlængst er blevet for stor til at passe str. 110 - 140 cl.
.......
During the holiday I had a flashback of the good kind. I were looking at Centilong's patterns for fall, when I came across this. The finest quilted jacket for small and big girls.
It reminded me of a little quilted jacket I made for Anne-Sophie, when she was about 1½ years old. A stripy one with dotty contrast fabric and pink bias tape. The fact that the hat was rather ugly, is another matter, but that just shows how one's style changes over the years. While other designs remain fine and fit for use - and not least timeless.
The kind of jacket I saw at Centilong, I have been searching for, for a long time. Actually I tried back in 1993 to find one more, so I could make Anne-Sophie a bigger jacket, because the one on the photo had become too small for her.
But now it's here...and I'm going to buy the pattern. Even though it's here 16 years too late and Anne-Sophie has grown out of size 110 - 140 cl. a long time ago.
Åååååh! Så søt! Min jakke er tapt, men lillebroren min sin jakke ligger på vent til datteren hans passer inn i den. Gode minner!
ReplyDeleteTusind tak, Merete. :)) Hvor er det bare fint, at din bror gemmer sin barndoms jakke til sin datter. Det er sådan en rørende tanke. Tøj der kan bruges af flere generationer er noget ganske særligt. :))
DeleteJeg elsker de små quiltede jakker og har længe manglet et mønster i større størrelser. Jeg er sikker på, at jeg kender en niece der kunne bruge én. ;))
Rigtig god weekend...
What a sweet jacket! I am sure you'll find another sweet girl who will be wearing it as proudly as Anne-Sophie did years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe have been on a lovely holiday and now things have come to a fact and we will move in a month, as we decided yesterday. Which is good news overall.
The girl will go to the new school in mid September, so her 1st day of school will not be in the school she already thought, with all her Kindergarden friends, no in an unfamiliar school, with nobody she knows and I am a bit ecxited about that. But also I am sure she will make it just fine, the great girl. And the boy has to change Kindergarden. Oh dear, not only the sister is away but also new Kindergarden ladies, this is also making me worried, but a deep breath and confident thoughts will make them go their way, don't you think?
Big hug, I hope all is well,
Nina
Thank you so much, Nina. :))) I'm sure I will find a little girl for the jacket. If not then I will keep the pattern for later in life, when my children get children. ;))
DeleteSo many new things are happening in your lives. I definitely understand your concern about the children starting in new places. Luckily most children are so easy to adapt into new environments, and I'm sure that both will be happy and make many friends in school and Kindergarten. I have seen that so many times while working as a kindergarten teacher.
Besides that I'm absolutely sure that you have given them so much love and faith in themselves, that they can handle it. :))
I will think of you all the next many days. Take care.

og kære Ulla - vi har lige fået den sidste pdf fil med jakkerne hjem i går.. så nu hænger den sidste opgave bare på os! Tak for fin omtale.. kærligst fra C
ReplyDeleteÅh, det lyder skønt, Christina. Det er den fineste lille jakke i har designet. Jeg er virkelig begejstret over jeres mønstre - de er utrolig smukke og har den samme type elegance som fransk og japansk sytøj - og alligevel er jeres helt deres egne i stilen.
DeleteOg det var da så lidt med omtalen. Det gør jeg med glæde. Jeres ting fortjener al den omtale de kan få.
Jeg vil glæde mig til at købe - og sy fra - mønsteret.:))
