Fra symaskinen / From the sewing machine

For et stykke tid siden faldt jeg over det her mønster via en omvej på Instagram. Det var bare for nuttet! Det var midt i den varme sommer, og helt perfekt, syntes jeg, så det tog ikke mange minutter at købe det og få det på mail.
Det er mit første snitmønster på mail, og det var temmelig bøvlet, synes jeg. Printe alle de sider ud og tape sammen inden man kunne gøre noget. Jeg vil til enhver tid hellere have det på et ark! Men da jeg så havde passeret denne første øvelse, gik det godt. Der er rigtig fine forklaringer med og billeder til alting.

A while ago, I stumbled across this pattern via a detour on Instagram. It was too cute! It was in the middle of the warm summer, and just perfect, so in no time I had bought it and got it in my mail box.
It was my first sewing pattern by mail, and I do think it is a lot of work. Printing out all the pages, using sticky tape to connect them before I could even transfer them. Any time I would prefer the old-fashioned way! But once I passed that first test, it went well. The description is really good and has photos of everything.

Jeg fandt stof i mit skab (selvfølgelig!) - noget jeg engang købte i London. Uden sjove tegneseriefigurer eller colaflasker. Jeg fulgte anvisningerne nogenlunde, undtagen i benene, hvor jeg simpelthen ikke kunne lave en løbegang i stoffet der var klippet buet. Så til sidst syede jeg elastikken på og bukkede om. Fra ydersiden kan man godt tro, der er en løbegang.
På ryggen går selerne fint i kryds.
Den sidste tålmodighedstest var at sy SEKS knapper i. Men jeg ville jo have dem færdige og med til lille D i går, og jeg syntes de der seler var lidt lange.

I found the fabric in my closet (of course!) - something I bought in London once. Without fun cartoons or coca cola bottles. I mostly followed the description, apart from the legs. I just couldn't get the fabric to stretch enough to make a nice casing. So in the end, I stretched the elastic band and sew it on, then folded it. From the outside, you might believe it's a casing.
At the back, the suspenders are crossed.
The last test of my patience was sewing on SIX buttons. But I did want them done, so I could take them to little D yesterday, and I did think the suspenders were a bit long.

Her er hun så! Med nye rompers! Der STADIG havde for lange seler. Hendes mor ville flytte knapper, så jeg håber, hun kan bruge dem. De er såååååå søde, nemlig.......

And here she is! In her new rompers! The suspenders were STILL too long. Her mum would move some buttons, and I do hope she can use them. They are sooooo cute, you know......
