Nog een kleine twee maanden en dan is het alweer
zomervakantie! Dus nog even de tijd om onze vakantie garderobe op orde te
brengen. En natuurlijk die van de pop!
-------
Within two montht’s summer holidays time again! So
still some time to pepare our vacation wardrobe . And of
course the wardrobe of the doll too!
Op het Summer fun patroon (BD1603) voor de pop van 43cm
staan allerlei leuke zomerjurkjes, een zonnehoedje én geweldige slippers of
sandalen…..die je zelf kunt maken!!
------
On the Summer fun pattern (BD1603) for 43 cm dolls are all kinds of
fun summer dresses, a Sun Hat and lovely sandals ..... which you can make
yourself!!
Nadat ik een jurkje en een broekje had gemaakt, in 2
zomerse stofjes, koos ik nog een bijpassend
derde stofje om te verweken in de zonnehoed. En met datzelfde stofje ben
ik aan de sandalen begonnen. Het enige wat hiervoor extra nodig hebt is
knutselfoam. Ik gebruikte wit met golfpatroon (ribbels) en glad rood. Je hebt
een klein stukje stof nodig voor de bandjes over de voet en de bandjes die
achter de hiel komen (met een stukje elastiek)
------
After I had made a dress and a pair of troussers, in 2
different summer fabrics, I chose another matching third fabric for the Sun
hat. And with that same fabric I started with the Sandals.The only thing
additional need is craft foam. I used white foam with a wave pattern (ridges)
and smooth red foam. You only need a small piece of fabric for the band on the foot and the heel band
casing (with a piece of elastic band)
Je begint met de hielbandjes: die vouw je als biaisband
en dan smal op de rand vaststikken. Door dit tunneltje rijg je elastiek. Even
op beide uiteinden vaststikken, zodat het elastiek blijft zitten.
------
You start with the heel band casing: fold the strap as
biais tape and topstich close to the edge. Pull the elastic band trough the
casing and stitch at each end to keep the elastic in place.
Dan vouw je de band (voor op de voet) met ingeslagen naad
dubbel. De plek waar de hielbandjes ertussen moeten worden vastgezet zijn
aangegeven op het patroon. Deze naad stik je weer smal op de kant, met de
hielbandjes ertussenuit, vast.
------
Fold the footband double, turn under the seam
allowance and stitch down with the edges of the heel band in the marked places.
Ik heb ook de vouwrand smal op de kant doorgestikt, omdat ik dat mooier vond.
------
I also stiched the edge of the fold, because I found it more beautiful .
Nu knip je het knutselfoam in de juiste vorm van de zool,
volgens het patroon. Ik heb 3 laagjes per zooltje gebruikt: 2 witte en één rode
voor ertussenin. Ik naaide eerst het voetbandje aan het rode, middelste
zooltje. Daarna heb ik de andere zooltjes (de witte) er aan de onder- en
bovenkant tegenaan geplakt. Nu zie je het stiksel niet mee, maar zit het
stoffen bandje toch goed vast.
-------
Then you cut
the craft foam in the shape of the sole. I made 3 layers per sole: 2 white
soles and 1 red in the middle. I first sewed the footband to the red, middle
sole. Then I glued the white soles on the red sole top and bottem. The
stitching is not visible, but the footband very good attached. I used mounting
kit that dries transparent. Press down well (I used pegs) and your sandals are ready.
Ik gebruikte transparant opdrogende montagekit voor het plakken. Even goed aandrukken (met knijpers) en de sandaaltjes zijn klaar.
------

Hopelijk vinden jullie het resultaat ook mooi?
Het complete setje is natuurlijk te koop op mijn site Vera Poppenmode

Hopefully you like the result too?

Some plastic snaps....
And here we have a fun sleep set for BB dolls : )
This is my contribution for this time, hope you liked it!!
Groetjes,
LianeHet is buiten nog niet echt te merken, maar we gaan toch richting de zomer. Baby Born heeft de zomer al in haar bolletje en denkt al aan de vakantie. Een kampeerplaatsje moet je natuurlijk wel op tijd reserveren. Ze gaat deze zomer kamperen in een tentje.
Natuurlijk hoort er een leuk zomerjurkje bij met een bijpassend broekje er onder.
Ze koos voor het jurkje een stofje wat bij het tentje hoort.
Kijk ze daar nu zitten op het zachte kleed! Ze heeft het tentje lekker open geritst.
Ook haar vriendje AAP mag een paar dagen komen logeren. Hij heeft zijn nieuwe zwembroekje aan.
Dikke vriendjes samen op vakantie!
Ik heb het tentje gemaakt met het patroon van de Happy Camper
En het jurkje en het broekje komt van het gratis patroon wat je hier kunt vinden.
Het tentje is veel werk om te maken, maar het is zo leuk om te doen en het resultaat is geweldig.
Ik heb er met veel plezier aan gewerkt.
Liefs,
Yvonne

Restjes stof zal ik niet meer vlug in de prullenbak gooien!
Echt zonde....10 kleine stukjes en kijk wat je daar van maakt.
Een mooi zomers rokje.
Lekker combineren met bloemetjes... het kan allemaal.
En dan krijg je dit resultaat...
Leuk setje
samen met het
blousje en het zomers hoedje.
Nog een broekje en het blousje zonder mouwen,
om lekker te combineren
Een echte FLOWER GIRL!!

On my way to producing a new set of clothes for my BABY Born doll I thought it would be nice to knit a pair of socks.
I love knitting as well as sewing, I hope you'll love them as much as I do!
Tijdens het maken van mijn nieuwe Babyborn setje bedacht ik dat het leuk zou zijn om een paar slofjes te breien.
Ik had nog ergens een patroontje hier voor wat vrij makkelijk te volgen -en te maken is, bij deze de beschrijving:
Veel brei plezier gewenst!
Groetjes,

And hooray, here we are at 10 Wollyonline Team Members! Barbro is her name and let's get to know her a little better : )
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I'm Barbro from Norway, 51 years old, married, mother of two grown up children & a spoiled cat. I live in a small village near the Atlantic Road, a beautiful part of the country.
How old were you when you started sewing?
I have been sewing as long as I can remember, and I think I must have been about 5 years old the first time I used my mum's white Husqvarna 2000
What started your sewing career?
My sewing career was bound to happen, as my grandmother was a seamstress, and my mother was very skilled too. My grandmother did sew to feed her family, my mum to dress herself, my sister and me. I'm sewing because I love to, it's my hobby & my passion.
What was the first thing you made?
I can't remember the first thing I made, but I suppose it must have been something for my Barbie. The first time I did sew, I do remember. My mum allowed me to zigzag around the parts of a pair of pants she made me. The machine was set on slow speed, and mum taught me how to control the material and the machine. A big moment for a little girl!
What are your favorite things to sew?
My favorite things to sew changes all the time. I tend to make 5 or 10 of each item before I get fed up. I make bags, blankets, draw string bags, box pouches, girls dresses, doll clothes etc. What I love to do is to make something new from something old, and I got quite a bit of clothes, curtains, bed linen etc in my storage.
What would you love to never ever sew again?
I once upholstered a sofa, and that was not something I liked to do!
Who is/are the main recipient(s) of your sewn items?
I sell the things I make at markets and in my friends yarn store.
What is something that you always wanted to make but haven’t yet?
I would love to make a fabulous wedding dress, or an amazing ball gown. Unfortunately I don't have the skills I need to do that - yet :)
What was your biggest sewing project to date?
It's the sofa project.
What was the most important sewing project to date?
The project that has meant most to me is a quilt I made for the local nursing home. It's made in white & off-white tones, and I gathered all kinds of fabric before I started sewing. It's a simple quilt made from squares, and in it lies the history of many lives since the squares are cut from the things like sleeves of a wedding dress, the shirt of a groom, embroidered table cloths, curtains from a different era, the 50's dress of an old aunt etc. For me that was the right thing to do since the quilt was going to be used for showings.
What was the last thing you finished?
The last thing I finished was a cushion cover. I made it from material with maritime print.
Were you happy with the result?
Yes I am since it got a zipper, and zippers can be a bit scary to work with : )
What was the last thing you had to throw out because it failed desperately?
It was a Japanese knot bag. Easy to sew if instructions are followed. I thought I didn't need to, and that did not work out at all.
Could it have been saved?
Yes it could, but I gave myself the luxury of throwing it away instead of getting mad over seam ripping.
What was your first sewing machine?
My first sewing machine was given to me by my uncle, and it was the old hand crank type.
I absolutely loved it, and I'm sure I stitched my way half way around the world with it.
What machines(s) do you use these days?
My main machine is a 20 year old Pfaff Tiptronic 6270. I fear the day it'll be worn out, because I don't know what machine could replace it. I also got a serger, Elna 654. I've spent hours cursing over the threading, but I still wouldn't want to be without it. The last addition to the family is a Janome 350e embroidery machine. We are working on becoming friends 😊
Which on is your favourite?
My favourite is my Pfaff machine, no doubt!
What other crafts do you do?
I knit, crochet, and also I love to upcycle all kinds of items.

Pinafore with balloon skirt and pants |
Spring is in the air! It's time for a new outfit.
Two weeks ago Christel placed the link to a free pattern of a lovely pinafore with balloon skirt and pants (which you can find here). I therefore made you an example of this pattern.
I really love the balloon skirt and the round top of the dress! I first made one set with two different fabrics as with the dress and pants at the pattern.
-----------
Hoera het is lente! Tijd voor een nieuwe garderobe.
Twee weken geleden plaatste Christel de link naar een gratis patroon van een schattig ballonjurkje met broekje (die vind je hier) Mijn handen jeukten om een voorbeeld van dit patroon voor jullie te maken.
Ik vindt het ballon rokdeel en het rondlopende bovenstukje zo leuk! Ik heb eerst een setje gemaakt met twee verschillende stofjes net zoals op het patroon.
I also made another combination with this pattern: The pinafore with one fabric and the pants with another, matching fabric. Do you like that too?

Maar ik maakte ook nog een andere cominatie met dit patroon: Het jurkje helemaal in één stof en het broekje in een andere, bijpassende stof. Ook leuk toch?
....with a T-shirt for the colder days |
I finished this set with a white T-shirt. Because its spring and we can have some colder days too. You can find the pattern of this T-shirt on one of my most favourite patterns: the Flower Girl pattern

Ik maakte het setje af met een wit T-shirtje. Want het is tenslotte nog maar lente, dus ook nog wel eens een frisse dag. Je vind het patroon van het T-shirt op één van mijn meest favoriete patronen: het Flower Girl patroon

Sewing for dolls is such a pleasant job!
Small pieces of fabric, small buttons and tiny pieces of ribbon and elastic, I love it. Most doll clothes are cute, pink and girly. My daughters always loved (and my youngest still loves) pink and cuteness.
But I also have a two year old son playing with dolls and although he thinks pink is OK (and so it is) I thought it would be nice to sew something more neutral. Because I am a new blogger here I chose the Boys Basics Pattern, BD1612. I started with cutting out the paper pattern pieces.
It is very easy to find the right pieces because all parts are numbered. I found a nice piece of fabric in my closet for a dungarees. It has a blue and white checkered pattern. It looks like cotton but it's definitely a mix.
After I cut all pieces out of fabric the sewing can begin. Because it isn't a stretch fabric it is very easy to sew.
After a little time it already looks like a dungarees!
Because it isn't summer yet I found it necessary to also make a shirt. I had a nice white jersey fabric I wanted to use. It was a small piece but large enough for this purpose.
At the end I made a nice hat that my daughter wanted me to make and so I did : ). I also used the white jersey for this little project, and don't you think he lookscute nice?
