Meet Molly...

This little lady had her 1st birthday September 28.  The weather was unusually  sunny for that time of the year. We had a garden party, which I don't think we will be able to have on many of her birthdays.

It was a very girlish party with lots of flowers and a pale pink cake.



The gift from her grandparents were a little wooden pram

From my sisters family she got a little silver bracelet with flowers. It is still a little to big but i think it will fit in a couple of months...

We gave her a doll that have a wonderful hairdo... from Sebra

... and an old dolls bed that I fixed with new paint and bedlinen. The blanket is a knitted towel from a secondhand shop. It was all new and have never been washed. Probably somebody thought it was way to fine to be used...

While I was making the bedlinen out of some vintage fabric i gave some thought to what this little doll should be named... And there at the border was the answer: Molly Aase Charlotte Lundquist. It was just the right name... And of course a quick decision was made to put her name on her duvet covers... IRL Veitex is an old textile design company and Aase Charlotte Lundqvist is a danish graphic designer

The last word is as always.. Deas! She certainly is very determined and stubborn ...

First came a boy and then a girl...

One of the best thing about making your own stuff is the ability to make that single piece missing.

Off course we have saved some  of Seth's clothes, and all I had to do was make 3 pair of baggy trousers to go with it.

The pattern is simple with elastic in the waist and at the ankle. I constructed it myself, and it has a good amount of ease in the back to make sure the pants stays nicely in place even under a great deal of moving around....The kind of pattern any sewing mum should always have in the repertoire

Once in a while the job is not to create something new and exciting, but just sit down by the sewing mashine and just make that something missing...

The 2 patterned ones is vintage fabrics and the mustard yellow ones are made of new fabrics...
