My Trendy Mother in Law!


At my 79 years old Mother in Law's house I saw a pillowcase. It was the hypest, coolest bedlinen pattern I had seen for a long time! And ...I was really wondering how she could be so trendy, considering not only her age, but also the fact that she lives in a sleepy village in Jutland (Denmarks countryside) while I do my shopping in Copenhagen and sorroundings.

Well, of course, the pillowcase happened to be an original from the 70's.....

Anyway she gave it to me and I have now tranformed it into a softie for Rubens teddy and some pantalettes for Kirsten.


The pantalettes are made with a beginner friendly pattern from onion.
The giraffe is freestyling...

Does anyone know a place for nostalgic sewing patterns for kids?

Søde ting, du der har fået ud af det pudebetræk!
Onion laver faktisk gode mønstre, synes jeg, vil også gerne ha' gang i symaskinen, men mangler lidt tid, synes jeg.
Min svigermor har et kæmpe syrum fyldt med stabler af stof, der er mere lort end lagkage, men kigger man dybt i bunkerne, så dukker der ind imellem guld op!
Jeg elsker de små Hellas sko i sølv, desværre hopper mine piger ikke på den længere, højst et par Nike i sølv, med det er også sejt nok ;-)
