Schultüte - Sugarcone

For the daughter of my friend I made a traditional German treat for the first day at school next September, it's called Schultüte. All kids starting school get one filled with sweets, treats and small gifts. I used the same embroidery files as for my own daughter, but with the different colour scheme it really looks quite different.




Yeli Skirt

Finally I got some time to test a new pattern for Corina from olilu.

The skirt is an easy project and as you can see you can highlight nice fabrics just using a small piece of it. For my unicorn obsessed girls the choice of fabrics was just perfect - and I will still have enough unicorn fabric for a dress or blouse :)




I made size 98/104 for my 102 cm tall youngest and 134/140 for my 129 cm tall girl. I'm quite happy with the fit of both skirts!

Unicorn carneval costumes for my girls

This year my older daughter wanted to be a unicorn for carneval. Of course, when the younger one heard that, she wanted to be one, too. So looked on the internet for inspiration and found a great tutorial and as basis I used the free Schnabelina Jawepu pattern.

This is the result:


My youngest combined her unicorn top with last year's fairy dress and wings.
