Man tager vad man haver, så löd väl ett av Kajsa Vargs uttryck ( vem var Kajsa Varg egentligen?!) Sagt och gjort. Symaskinen stod framme. Kände att jag behövde en utmaning och ta mitt symaskinskörkort, som jag tog på Säfsta skolan någon gång på slutet av 80-talet, till nya höjder. I min tyggömma hittade jag detta tuffa bomullstyg från IKEA. Tog en av Milas klänningar som en slags mall och here we go. En gammal fleece filt fick bli fodret. Spetsen längst ner införskaffade jag på en loppis någonstans i Kinna trakten för några år sedan för 30 kr. Tyckte det var ett svinbra köp då men har i ärlighetensnamn tvivlat på hur bra det köpet var tills nu!! Passar ju perfekt på denna mini kreaktion. Som grädde på moset fick mina röda plasthjärtsknappar pryda axelbanden. Inte illa pinkat av en trähäst som min gamla mattelärare Sture brukade säga alltför ofta.
You take what you have - is a literally translation from an old Swedish saying. And it means basically that, use what you already have at home and you will create wonders. My sewing machine was taken out of its hide away. I got the urge that I needed a challenge and to take my sewing-machine-driving-license (yes it is true it was mandatory to take this license at my school end of 80s with test and everything) to a higher level. Said and done I found a cute IKEA fabric in my now pretty extensive fabric collection. I used one of Mila's dresses as inspiration. An old fleece blanket got turned into a warm linning. The curtain lace at the bottom I bought at a flea market a few years ago for 30 SEK. I remember I was so pleased over this great buy but never found a use for it until now. Last detail of my mini creation is the bright red plastic heart buttons on the shoulders. I had great fun and are very pleased with the result. Yes I take orders, now I will produce dresses left right and center and I am pretty sure Mila doesn't need that many..
Lilla modellen verkar ganska nöjd även om det är lite att växa. Nu jäklar kommer mamma producera klänningar till höger och vänster.
Although she seems pretty happy over this one or at least to model it. A bit big but I am sure that it will soon be perfect.
