wild modeling

i have been busy. very inspired to create. and i did - create. i found some really nice new fabric and couldn't resist making some more boyish clothes. with my daughter being my no. one source of inspiration it is maybe no wonder i'm inspired to make dresses and skirts, but i do want to create clothes for both genders and if possible even better, unisex items.

so today i tried to photograph the pants i made for my etsy shoy, but my girl just didn't want to cooperate, being an active child. a small collage of blurry action shots


note-to-self: don't make daughter model clothes when she just had a long nap and is eager to play and run-around.

finished and not even started...

after several rounds of prototyping, eli is now finished and for sale. he was a bit of work, but it was all worth it because he's just too cute now.


finished eli


prototype 1, prototype 2, finished eli

in other news, i have adjusted the pricing of all items for sale in my etsy shop - Stelline. reduced prices for most items actually. now it feels as if there is some kind of strategy behind the pricing of all items. the prices reflect not only the work and material cost of each individual item, but there is a relation to the price of any other item, i.e. pants are most expensive because they need most fabric and elastic fabric (relatively expensive) and they are time consuming to do. skirts are much easier and faster in production and bibs even more so, hence lower prices.

on the 15th and 16th of May i'm showcasing my shop in two of etsy's showcases. on the 15th in children and on the 16th in kids and toys. i'm really curious on the effect of that. until then i'll be really busy with the ambitious sewing schedule i have put up for myself. i love sewing.

oh and i'm a year older today. and it's mother's day (though not here in sweden it certainly is in my home country germany). happy mother's day to all you mother's out there and happy birthday to me.
