The dress is finished!

Today I wore the dress at work! I'm happy with it, but not sure it's finished... By that I mean that there are room for improvement. I think it turned out a bit dull. I will keep it as it is for a while, and maybe one day I just know what the final touches should be! On the pictue I have attached a velvet ribbon at the waist - it helped a bit.

Fabric Fantastic!

I think no one with a sewing machine can walk past a fabric like this one. It caught my attention as I walked by a textile shop in Oslo, Norway. I didn't go in, but my mind immediately started to create tote bags in the fabric.

The day after I did go in, and when I discovered that it was vinyl coated and very durable I just had to have a few meters. Same evening the first tote bag was a reality! ...and there will be more!

The bag is available in my Etsy store www.elineof.etsy.com
