What shall I wear? the end....

Yes, this is the last time I'm going to post about this quilt.
There are two clothes to show and the whole quilt.
First to show is a pair of trousers in great colours..



and the last piece is my favorite winterdress....



And yes now, there is nothing more to show....it is time to unveil the quilt....



The quilt has a fine place in the livingroom.

The pattern of the clothes and cabinet are in our shop.



The patterns are great for stitchery as wel.
As you can see on this next project!



See you all soon,

Being prepared and What shall I wear? 5

In the news there is a lot going on about Financial banking problems etc. and it can maybe effect us all in the near future. Well I’m not so much into financial stuff, but if it will get real bad look what I found:

"New from old"



"New dungarees from dadies old trousers"



"From mothers old coat, A new pair of trousers and jacket for the jongest."



"Nice suit for 13 year old" (made from a eveningdress)



As you can see I'm prepared!.... Although I wonder if my almost 13 year old daugther will appreciate a new suit........ Until then I have this jacket...



And mittens, cap, hat, and bag..



I realy love these old books!(I hope you like the what shall I wear nr.5)
Have a good start of the week everyone.>

What shall I wear?4 and more, .... Dutch..

Hi everyone,
Today I want to wear this,



This piece is also made from second hand Oilily clothes and fabric. like the trousers, I made a stitchery as well from this one. Maybe I'll make a little blanket when all the stitcheries are finished.



If anyone would be interested, I could perhaps sell the patterns. Well, we'll think about that.
There are a lot of places you can inspired, by other bloggers, Flickr, other cultures etc.. Today I'll show a bit of my own inspiration. It's a great old book from 1947,



It's about old wind mills and Dutch traditional clothing. The book has these beautiful old coloured glued pictures. Look for yourself,







I hope you enjoy looking at them s much as I do.. and yes there ar a lot of these in the book to but I'll only show you this one,



Well This was enough Dutch for today! There is only a little peek of 4 new bags I'm working on left to show you...



Good days to all of you,

What shall I wear? 3.

You must think, ‘she has been walking around in flower underwear the past days’… (since my last post). Yes I did …almost… I just couldn’t pick the right clothes…
But today it was really easy! We went for a autumn forest walk with all the children in my class. So I choose this,



And a raincoat,



luckily I didn’t need. The weather was just great! So was the walk! Young kids are so curious and open-minded look what they found;





How does the toadstool look on the underside... and where did the gnomes go?



In class the children made these autumn artworks,





Oh, how I enjoy my job and all these children!

I made a pattern of the ‘What shall I wear’ quilt, and just this week I had one of those ‘can’t sleep’ nights and look what is happening now…



Yes I started making stitchery’s now! A perfect job for dark autumn evenings (and a fast result).

Wish you all great autumn days!

What shall I wear? 2.

“Hmm, what shall I wear today?” Of course it is very important to start with the right underwear.



So I go for the flowered set today ….. and now, do I want a dress or trousers or overalls ?….. I have to think a little longer…..
Curious? …more next time.

Look what a great gift Elizabeth from ‘creative breathing’ send me!!
She makes the most beautiful creative work, and she made this matroushka for me.



This matroushka found a lovely place in my house. Thanks you again Elizabeth!

What shall I wear? 1.

Some time ago I designed a quilt with all my favorite fabrics and colors.
Of course it took me a long time to make and finish this quilt. But now it has found a great place in our living room.

The title of the quilt is, "What shall I wear?"



I'm showing you the middle part this time.....
And here are most of the fabrics I used.



Curious to see more? keep tuned.

Have a great week(end) everyone!
