The summer is here :)

I bought this dress from a secondhand store – and went in and changed it.

Then I closed it in the front and sewed on a line of “fake” buttons. Made a new zipper in the back and made a more round shape around the neck. Finally I made it more narrow in the sides .. it was humongousJ

(I promise that I will have a before and after picture next time)

But it was easy – so go out and do it – there are so many lovely retro dresses out there just waiting to be changed and worn.

A Chanel Suit - hopefully

I have wished for a 50´s, 60's lady suit/ Chanel suit for so long. And I have been in so many secondhand stores - just with a small hope that someone handed in a retro suit in my size. So now I have a big project ahead - I was lucky enough to get a hold on a great patteren - and I just bought the fabric. Wish me luck :)

Coraline inspired hair clip

Coraline is a super lovely stopmotion film - if you have not watched it yet - Watch it!
I made this hair clip because I got so inspired by the great movie.

The Long-eared Owl

He does not look wise or weathered with knowledge. But he deserves a chance :)

Mr. Bunny

Here is a little bunny that came to life the other day - fabric leftovers.
