I was going to make a pair of trousers, but when I took out the green cotton twill I was going to use from the fabric cupboard I saw that I hadn't washed it. So instead making a dress from my new cotton prints moved up on the priority list. The dress itself was finished on Monday; most of it while my friend Caroline taught Maja to knit, followed by dinner and Martini Rosso.
Yesterday I made the belt and today I made a skirt for Maja from the same fabric. You see it in the last photo. There wasn't enough fabric to match the pattern, but she likes it anyway. In the photo were I'm posing in my sister's garden I think I look a lot like '40s ad for something really wholesome.
The dress was modled on the dress in this ad for zippers from 1946:
This afternoon we went to my sister's place for a barbecue. It was one of those very rare sunny days and evenings this summer and with excellent food and drik and a baby to cuddle there really wasn't anything more to ask for.
( Photos of me, drink, Maja, baby etc )
Maj knitted on the tram and buses and I think that tomorrow she knit well enough to start on a simple cap pattern that Caroline has made.
