Honeypie…

Ben_spiser_middag

Da har mormor sydd ferdig nytt antrekk til vesle Benjamin som er så søt som en karamell! Han kler veldig godt lysegrått, så da var det kjekt at jeg hadde akkurat nok igjen av Polar-fleecen fra S&S når den ble mikset med nyinnkjøpt fleece med biler på!

Mønsteret er fra “Blødt Børnetøj”, – forøvrig. Litt modifisert iom at mammaen syntes “genser” med så urolig stoff ble litt mye. Egentlig skal nedre tverrstykke foran gå opp til omtrent armhulene. Neste gang vil jeg nok sy ned kragen til vrangsiden “i hånden” som danskene sier – ble en litt kraftig fure av maskinsømmen..

Boka er dessverre utsolgt fra forlaget, men satser på at våre danske venner trykker opp mer!

Det kan jo være kjølige sommerkvelder her i midnattsolens land!

And now grandma has finished a new outfit for Benjamin who is as cute as toffee! Light grey really becomes him and so it was very fortunate that I had just enough left of the polar-fleece from S&S when mixed with the recent purchase of a fleece with cool cars!

The pattern is from “Blødt Børnetøj”, – btw A bit modified as his mamma found that such a busy fabric would be over the top in a sweater. Originally the lower front panel is supposed to reach as high as the armpits or thereabout. Next time around I’ll sew the collar down with hand seam as suggested by the designers in the book, – the machine did make a rather conspicuous groove…

Sadly the book is out of print at the moment but I feel certain that our Danish friends will reprint!

It can be nippy in the evening here in the land of the midnight sun!
