Turquoise Dress for Summer Days
Turquoise – a new favorite colour this year. It has really been speaking to me lately. And it is such a summery fresh colour, don’t you agree?
Here are some turquoise photos for you to enjoy.
Thrifted toy cat, very plasticy and very turquoise. I was told his name is Pilchard, and I don’t mind. Bob-Pilchard perhaps then.
And the turquoise bowl, that is just so very beautiful.
I couldn’t resist getting it, even though I know I shouldn’t have bought it. It is such a eye-candy bowl (for putting candy in), and I like it a lot.
And for those of you who have been reading my blog for a couple of years, you might recognize the turquoise flowery fabric that I made a long sleeved t-shirt from? I had quite a lot left, that has been “laying around” for two years, until now!
First I copied a t-shirt pattern from a magazine, but as I lay it on the fabric I saw that I could make something bigger, so I made a night gown. But when I put it on it was not as wide as I had imagined it. Actually it is to tight for a comfortable nightgown, so now it’s a dress.
A summer dress for me, made by me!
I love the round neck that I got from this pattern, I’ll use it again on a real t-shirt that does not turn out a dress.
What do you think?
PS: If you like turquoise cats / Pilchard too, you can knit the cat!

Lenge siden sist jeg la igjen kommentar, men ikke lenge siden sist jeg var p? bes?k i bloggen din :o) Den er en evig kilde til inspirasjon for meg.

Denne gangen tok jeg meg tid til ? kopiere masse av lenkene du tipset om tidligere i sommer, til min Bloglines. Du er selvf?lgelig p? plass der for lenge siden ;o) Ha en fortsatt super sommer!
