Ballerina Vest
March 29th, 2010 Posted in SewingI had some fabric left from my own vest, so I made this for Frida a few days ago, and she absolutely loves it – though I think she would have liked the ballerina in front where she could see it.
I sketched the ballerina from a picture on the internet, and sewed it on with a short straight stitch. That way it will fray slightly on the outside of the stitches, but that will be part of the “look”. I used the same technique for my matryoshka appliqué, and that worked just fine – actually that blouse has been in use for a year now.
The pattern is #7 from Ottobre 6/2009, and I shortened it a bit to make it give it more of a girly shape. Still considering whether to add a tie in front – it might work well even if it’s fine the way it is.

Sikke en fin vest! Applikationen er rigtig fin, det er flot når man syr den fast med en “ligeud-søm” fremfor en tyk zigzag.

Hvor er den kær.
jeg kan også godt lide at sy med lige tråd på applikationerne. Det giver en lethed/elegance til mange applikationer.
God påske

Her hair is getting much longer, it’s so cute! She looks content in her vest too. =)

She looks so grown up, and so lovely. After I saw your adult’s version I started making this pattern too, but in fleece. I’ve had to leave it for a while, but Frida’s has inspired me to get back at it.
