The little black dress
The weekend is just around the corner!
I'm looking forward to it, just started at a computer design course this Monday... It's really interesting and I'm learning so much, but it's hard for the brain ;o) I'm learning all sorts of things in Photoshop, Illustrator and Pad System pattern. Today I started working on pattern report systems, which can be printed out on a textile printer so that I can make my own fabrics. So cool!
But my head needs the weekend now, especially because I'm looking forward to the event on Saturday.
But as always I have a problem... What shall I wear? It will probably be a black dress, that's always elegant and classy, and looks professional.
At the picture down under you can see a black dress that I made a few years ago. It's got laces, a kind of fan at the upper part and swimsuit back. The fabric is not an especially good quality, because I didn’t mind earlier, but I sure do now. Hope you'll enjoy

Event
Remember my participation in the event "Silhouettes" next Saturday the 21. Of January!
It's for free and there will be served a little something to drink. There will also be entertainment in the form of live music, and perhaps a dance show...
The picture below is actually a postcard which I have made (well, actually it's my photographer Jonas Danholt who made it) for the event as a kind of business card... I hope to give a lot of them away!

Sunrays
Today the sun is shining, at least here in Copenhagen where I am. It makes me think of springtime and warmer days. When you feel the sunrays it’s like you suddenly gets more energy. Well, that’s how I feel...
So because of my very early spring mood I will show you a jacket that I made for myself in the end of the summer last year.
The jacket is inspired of my beloved fifties, and it's made in light green colored cotton with viscose lining.
The buttons is upholstered with the same fabric as the jacket. That gives it a stylish Chanel look I think.

Gala dress and Tote bags
Right now I´m working on yet another dress for my mom... This time she needs a dress for a gala at her work in February. We decided that it shall be long and simple, as you can see on my sketch.
I haven't made the pattern yet, but at least I know how it shall be.
The look will be classic and tight, with a waterfall back, and extra width in the back from the bum and down, which will make it easier to walk in. It will be black and all in silk...
Furthermore I'm working on Tote bags. I make some which I can send with applications and some for presents I think… I already finished one, but need a camera before I can show it to you…

First day of 2012
I hope that all of You had a fantastic New Years Eve, I had!
Here, at the first day of 2012, I want to show you a dress which I made for myself in the fall.
I love the 50’s fashion, and surely the dress is inspired by that… I think it has a retro-look with its orange and brown colors.
The dress is made in 100% cotton with viscose lining, and I used the Japanese book “Pattern Magic” to creative the tracery on the upper part. I hope you like the dress as much as I do. It´s my favorite...
The orange belt used around the waist is by Danish Baum und Pferdgarten
