Me Made March ´11: The obligatory round-up post.
So, Me Made March 2011 has come to an end. Now, that was fast. I know I commented somewhere around day 20 that I thought March was long, but now I´m more like, where did the month go? But, what did we learn this time around? I learned the following: I love the concept of…
Read MoreJacket no. 1 2011.
I know Patty the Snug Bug announced that 2011 was to be the Year of the Dress for her, but for me, I think it will be the Year of the Jacket. My first attempt on a jacket this year was Burda Magazine 09-2009-127. Technical drawing and image from the magazine. I made it out…
Read MoreStash busted!
Just a quick little note about my Stash Bustin´Challenge. I went to the fabric store to pick up some thread and interfacing, and they (those evil temptresses) had a sale. And they had this beautiful fabric for sale, called Nautical from Holland Art. And I just could hold myself. I just couldn´t resist the cute print.…
Read MoreMy Grand Plan of autumn 2010- how did it go?
Last autumn, I came up with a plan for my sewing. before I did that, I more or less just sewed what ever I wanted to do, but through MMM and SSS, I experienced that there were some serious gaps in my me-made wardrobe. So I came up with My Grand Plan. I think it…
Read MoreSewing Through the Decades
Remember this post? Where I tell you all about what I want to do this year, and talking about joining the Sewing Through the Decades challenge that Sarah and Debi have put together.

Less than a week a go, my darling came home from a two months long trip abroad. I did go visit him in February, but it´s so nice to have him back! My mission this year is to make him the perfect shirt. He was supposed to get a nice white dress shirt for Christmas…
Read MoreMe Made March: Half way through!
So, peops, how´s it going with the MMMar´11? Judging from the Flickr Pool, it´s seems to be working out great for most. Just to refresh your memory (and my own), here´s my vow for the month: ‘I, Sølvi of delfinelise, enthusiastically sign up as a participant of Me-Made-March ’11. I endeavour to wear as much me-made and…
Read MoreSome summer sewing in March
This video is from Astrid Lindgren´s book/tv-series about Emil. This song is about how summer sometimes needs a little help, it really is a spring/summer anthem here:-). So, over at the MMMar´11 Flickr pool, there have been some lovely spring creations, and I got inspired, and wanted to make something appropriate for warmer weather too. As I…
Read MoreThe Carl von Linné skirt
The sun is setting, and the snow is melting outside the tropical greenhouse in Uppsala Botanical Garden. This weeks challenge over at The Sew Weekly was to make something inspired by the town you live in. Now, I live in Uppsala, and apart from having a really old university, a really big (and old) church,…
