My Baby´s Come Back!
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…

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,…
Read MoreOn freedom.
A friend of mine and I were discussing the topic of choices, while we were out walking. For once the sun was out, and it was a perfect time to get some fresh air and meet some good friends. Needless to say, in most places of the world, freedom is viewed upon as a great…
Read MoreWhat I made this month: January
First of all, sorry for not writing sooner, but I ´ve had a splitting headache most of the week, so I really needed to step away from the computer, and try to do other things instead. Now, you don´t have to feel sorry for me, because it´s all my own fault, not working out as…
Read MoreSo, what´s next?
Last years challenge was an eye-opening experience for me, and over all, I think I did good. But I am really just now beginning to take control over the hardest part, and that is the desire for new things. Ali, of the wardrobe, reimagined, wrote a insightful post about this topic all the way back…

In trying to be better at updating you whenever I´ve made something new, I´ll give you a quick post here showing you what I did yesterday. It´s not entirely clear to my why I havent made the Madeleine mini bloomers yet. They are, after all, both super cute, designed at Colette´s and free! The only…
Read More2010 – my challenge in review
2010 was the year where I decided it was time to stop spending on clothes, and spend more time sewing. About a year ago I decided to not buy anything new. This would allow me to: I will be more creative – since I can’t buy new clothes, I will have to make them myself…
Read MoreThe tale of Vogue 8604
These trousers have been on my mind ever since I saw Stitchywitch´s fabolous version. I have been dreaming of making my own for six months. First, I bought a navy blue lightweight wool fabric. I bought too little. This pattern asks for 2.5 m fabric, and I had only got 2 m. Then I bought…

For the last couple of months I have been slacking off in my photo documentation of finished projects, so I thought I´d share it all with you today instead. Oh, and Happy New Year! This is my New Years Eve dress. AKA the Christmas Dress. AKA the oldest UFO in the history of mankind. Pattern…
