A little while ago, in the beginning of this year to be exact, I had the honor of testing a new pattern for Big Little Patterns. I created a coat for my little girl, one that she is still wearing these days now it is getting much colder.
Big Little Patterns has just recently announced their new name: Twig + Tale.
You can read all about it HERE.
And to celebrate the name change, an international blog tour was organized.
Miranda, great in a lot of things, and also in organizing blog tours, asked me if I wanted to participate.
Well, eh, duh!! Of course!
Begin januari mocht ik van Big Little Patterns een nieuw jassenpatroon testen. Ik ging toen total loss op een hertjesjas, eentje die de dochter nog altijd draagt nu het weer wat kouder geworden is.
Big Little Patterns heet nu Twig + Tale, en om dat te vieren, organiseerde Miranda van Inspinration een blog tour. En of ik wilde mee bloggen. Uiteraard!
Apart from the Wild Things range of patterns, there is also a 'Pixie' series.
Pixies, not sure if you are aware, are mythical creatures, depicted with pointed ears and pointed hats.
They are described as mischievous, childlike, fond of dancing...
Well, isn't that just like my little girl?
Naast de 'Wild Things' reeks van patronen, is er ook een serie Pixie patronen.
Ken je Pixies? Die mythische wezentjes met puntige oren, die overlopen van de deugenieterij en overal dansend te vinden zijn?
We hadden mijn dochter Pixie moeten noemen i.p.v. Suze!
I made her the Pixie hat. The most adorable pointed hat that just fits her personality.
Unfortunately, the Art Gallery fabrics that I had chosen for my project, must have been lost in the mail. So I used some scrap fabrics from my own stash.
Voor mijn kleine meid maakte ik de Pixie muts. Een muts die zo matcht met haar persoonlijkheid.
Jammer genoeg niet in Art Gallery stoffen die ons gingen toegestuurd worden.
Ik had er mooie uitgekozen, maar ze zijn nooit gearriveerd.
Ik gebruikte dus wat ik nog kon vinden in mijn kast.
But what is a Pixie hat without a pair of Pixie shorts to complete the look?
Exactly!
I made these from a deep grey woolen fabric that I found at the thrift store.
Perfect for pairing with some cute tights and her high boots.
Geen pixie muts zonder een pixie short om een klein dwergje te kleden.
Ik maakte de short in een grijze wol die ik voor 2euro kocht in de kringwinkel.
Geweldig mooie kwaliteit!
Met zakjes in een restje contraststof.
Perfect om te combineren met een schattige kousenbroek en haar hoge laarzen.
They are a sort of bubble shorts, with pockets (perfect to show off some cute cotton scraps),
and an elastic waistband.
Isn't it adorable!?
How I just love that little angel face in her cute hat!
