Christmas dress - for me!

A few weeks ago Christina of Wardrobe By Me asked a few of her previous
testers to sew one of her dress patterns in a holiday theme.
I had just bought her Mirri pattern and was planning a dress for me anyway so
of course I was in.  Otherwise I might have procrastinated and not made the
dress until after Christmas.

But now I have my dress ready even in time for
my work Christmas Party next Saturday

Lounge wear.

The very first thing I do when I come home from work is to change clothes.
I don't feel that my workday is over until I have done that.
Usually my lounge wear consists of a pair of leggings, a long sleeve t-shirt and a cardigan.
That doesn't sound so terrible but I should add that I haven't upgraded my lounge wear
for many many years so there might be some holes and permanent stains and what not.

Guess what I now have an upgrade
and I think I should share it with you my sewing friends!

I got to test some more patterns for Wardrobe by Me, I know I'm so lucky!

This one is for me too, I'm getting comments from the kids now that I have made
enough clothes for me and it's time to start making something for them again.

Here is the perfect sweater:

My first pattern testing!

You know how Denmark is famous for great designers?  If you don't ask your friend Google.
I mean in every aspect - furniture, toys, jewelry, fashion - they are just amazing!
So what do you do when you get asked to test a pattern by a Danish designer?
I'll tell you!  You jump up and down and squeal like a crazy person
and than you brag about it to everyone meet!

At least that's what I did when Christina Albeck of Wardrobe by me asked
little old me to test her newest pattern which was just released this weekend.


It is a T-shirt and top pattern.
You can either make a fancy top or a casual light sweater.
Choose from a round scooped neckline or a v-neck, sleeveless or with sleeves,
finish the armhole and neckline with facings or with rib.
Curved og straight hemline.
So many options that result it totally different tops. 

I made two versions.  Here is my fancy top.

Pattern Anthology: Unbiased

There is a new collection out from the amazing designers of Pattern Anthology called Unbiased.
It's a bundle of four patterns for women using knit fabrics.  Actually it is much more than four patterns since all of them can be made as either a dress or a top, with different sleeve options and
different kind of finishing touches.
Totally worth every penny!

I had big plans to sew them all up and share them with you but you guys know how it is,
life usually gets in the way of those grand plans!  So I am pretty happy to share with you
two out of the four.

Lets start with the Diamond - girls best friend, right?

Amateur Hour.

Guess what you guys - I made a top for myself!

An Anna top no less!

No no no please don't leave just yet!

It's not the Frozen kind - I have not gone completely mad!

So I apologize that there are no charming cute little models here today.
But don't worry they will be back soon enough!
