By Sølvi Elise | 02/03/2012

I am back with more fun that you could imagine! Starting now, and continuing throughout May, there´ll be a new sew-along in town. Say hello to: Sarah of Rhinestones and Telephones, Veronica from Veronica Darling, Meg from Meg the Grand, Debi from My Happy Sewing Place and myself are introducing a new fabulous sew-along where we are getting the inspiration from the Silver Screen – That´s Sew Cinematic.  This sew-along couldn’t have a better source for personal inspiration: creating garments inspired by your favourite actors/actresses from film, stage and television. You can create items from every category or only a few – whatever best suits you!

This is the result: I’ll be back with more exciting projects as soon as my workload is under control. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Hem…

Roobedoo posted a question on my last post regarding the length of the header dress: She wondered wether this was a new length for me. An excellent question, and I know she has elaborated a bit on the topic of work appropriate lengths on a recent blog post of hers, you should definitely check it out! To answer the question, the answer is no, this is not a new length for me, but the fun thing about this question is that it got me thinking about hemlines. What is a good skirt length for me? And what is a good skirt length for others? I went through my closet, and pulled out some skirts…

Sølvi Elise is wearing a selfmade shirt and heavy glasses

 Hi there! I´m Sølvi Elise. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. This is a space where I share my craft projects  and thoughts and ideas concerning handmade in a consumerist world.

I live in Oslo, Norway where I use my spare time stitching up my own wardrobe. So far, I´d say that 80 % of my closet is filled with me-mades. I also have an interest in historical sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, leatherwork, tablet weaving, rigid heddle loom- weaving, cocktails, jewelry making, makramÊ, shoe making, drawing, paper craft, machine knitting and generally any craft that looks like fun.
