ToddlerSnowBallDress

I sew also this amazing SnowBallDress by using PaaPii's Pattern Book for Children. By using the same pattern I sew also ToddlerMerinoWoolDress. In this dress I used all the parts: also the sleeves and wedges. Also this is 110 cm size. 

Also this has home made bias tape decoration so I crated similar slit at back with sew-on-snaps than I did with the merino wool dress. It is a velvet like jersey fabric with fingertip sized balls. It really was not the easiest fabric I've sewn. I have no idea about the manufacturer because I bought it years ago at local fabric shop that doesn't exist anymore. 

The design is simple and changes a lot depending a lot of it what material you use and how you sew it. This dress was the biggest success of the Yule 2025! 

It really is not Elsa's dress from Frozen but has been called that since it was completed. Somehow it seems a dress Elsa from Frozen would wear! 

ToddlerMerinoWoolDress

Oh where have I been these 16 days since my last post? At home. We received longed and wished welcome visitors to stay over YuleTide 2025 since early morning 14.12.2026. We still have some all the way until 4.1.2027 but now I am at home alone with the dogs so I found some time to chat with you my dear reader. 

See the picture above. There's one of gifts I've made for Yule 2025. It is 100 % merino wool decorated with Yule themed cotton fabric and home made bias tape. I love home made bias tape and recommend it to all because by it you really can create personalized details for your sewing. Here you can find HomeMade BiasTape-tutorial.

It is a very simple pattern I modified from PaaPii's Pattern Book for Children. Yes, it is a Finnish trade mark but they actually sell it also in English. I made this dress from the book: I just did it without the sleeves and wedges. Because I use cotton bias tape I created a slit at back. I made this in the size 110 cm. 

Here you can see it all better. For the fastening I used sew-on-snaps. I left 1 cm loose bias tape to make it easier for big adults to crab on and help with the dress.

Adult Luuhka 2

I made a simple style Forest Sámi Luuhka. 

It is for daily life use for a hunter.

The shades are forest green and green.

In the daily use it has a different kind of brooch for closing up.

AAW Mittens No8

 

I designed and knit also this pair of AAW mittens. I used plant dyed (coffee) AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool and 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). 

AAW Mittens No7

I designed and knit this pair of AAW mittens. I used plant dyed (saskatoon and coffee) AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool and 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). 

KnittedGloves AAW No1

I designed and knit for myself these beautiful and warm gloves. I used AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool, 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). I plant dyed it by saskatoon berries (juneberries/serviceberries). For the decoration I knitted seed stitches.
