Mice & Reindeers

This cute little 110 cm size mouse dress has the same pattern at its basics whichs this ToddlerSnowBallDress has also. Designed by PaaPii. If you take a look you can notice I made more wedges. I added them in the middle front and back. Wedges made like this are a bit tricky to sew. I have one more coming up and with it I will show how it is easier to sew them.

Also this reindeer dress is 110 cm size. It is my own design. It is cute too and it is made of the left over material of my own dress. I will show that to you later.

(Both fabrics are Finnish design Metsola fabrics.)

StartingShawl

Last autumn I plant dyed some yarn for my upcoming shawl project and made the warp. It is going to be something very special.

I can't do it when the cats are visiting. Now when I know there will be weeks until they'll be back, I set up the warp on my loom. So, here it starts. It is going to be a Forest Sámi Shawl. It is a real restorative craft that breathes history and spirit of my ancestors through the traditional crafts.
