Are you looking for a t-shirt pattern but can't quite decide on the style you want?

A v-neck, crew neck scoop neck, sleeve length and so on.

Don't worry in this blog post I'll solve that problem for you!

I was so lucky to be one of the testers for Wardrobe by me new pattern,

The Wardrobe Builder Tee.

I'm still here!

This month has been crazy busy.  I started working at a new place so now

I'm not making glasses anymore but assisting an ophthalmologist.  It's a mix of a new and

old practice, we just opened at a new location and setting everything up and

learning new routines has been challenging but very fun.

I did manage to get some sewing in this month as well.
I tested a new pattern that was just released, I'll show you in a couple of days.

Today I'll show you my January project for Shwin Designs - just in the nick of time!
Believe me its not because the patterns were so difficult it took me a whole month to
get them done.  It's more of a find time to take photos problem!

Happy New Year!

I had a very good 2015 both sewing and otherwise.

I turned 40 and in celebration of that milestone I and my best friends since childhood,

who also all turned 40 in 2015, went to New York together.

And boy did we have a good time!

We went on a summer holiday with my in-laws and then I got to hang

out with my side of the family in New York.  So I got a chance to spend time

time with all the important people in our lives.

We are all happy and healthy!

Me in Heaven - aka Mood Fabrics New York.

Sewing related, I got a new sewing machine for my birthday - Happy happy!

I got a chance to join the Shwin Designs ambassador team and got the opportunity to

test a few patterns for Wardrobe by me.

I am so thankful for those opportunities and I hope I get to continue along

those lines in 2016.  I love being a small part of the online sewing community,

it is such a fun, loving and supportive group of people.

I finally have confirmation that the presents for my little nieces and my brand new

nephew have arrived only about a week to late - all my mistake!

So now I can share them here.  I joined in on the mermaid tail francy and used

the pattern from The Plucky Butterfly Designs

The girls said it was what they have always wanted and my kids have already

put in orders for their own so I better get out of this holiday mode and start sewing.

For my nephew I used the baggy trousers pattern from Nosh, it is a free pattern but it is in

Finnish so I got some help from Google Translate along the way.  I love the style of these

and plan on making some for Viktor.

I also made him the Rowan Tee from Titchy Threads.

The fabric is Duncan and Kate, I think maybe I bought it from Kitshy-Coo but I'm not sure.

The navy one for the pants is stretch french terry from Imagine Gnats

I made the six months old size and my gosh this is sooo tiny, I guess I have forgotten

how small babies are.

I also owed Mila a birthday present so she got the Little Girls Skater Dress from

Kitschy-coo.  Anita has several of these and they are in heavy rotation.  In fact

she has exactly the same dress and she loves her princess dress.

I used Lillestoff organic cotton jersey I bought from Stoffrullene.no

That about sums it up!

Dagbjört.
