My Dogtertjie het onlangs begin danslesse neem. Sy moet onder andere 'n dans uniform dra, wat bestaan uit 'n ballet leotard en 'n tutu. Dit was 'n nagmerrie om dit in die hande te kry, maar ons het uiteindelik 'n tweedehandse stel kon kry. Saam met dit het ek na ons "Charity shop" toe gegaan en ek kon daar 'n leotard kry en 'n ander kledingstuk met 'n kant rompie, wat ek gekoop het om die kant te gebruik en dan 'n tutu vir haar te maak.
DD started dancing lessons recently. She has to wear a uniform, consisting out of a ballet leotard and a tutu. It was a nightmare to get hold of the uniform, but at last we do have one, albeit second hand. I also went to our thrift store and found another leotard and a dress with a net skirt, which I bought to use the net for a tutu.
Ek het die romp losgemaak van die hempie en toe verder die kant losgemaak van die onderrok. Die kant was in 3 stroke vasgewerk en ek moes elke strook apart lostorring. In die foto het ek die 3 stroke begin pas om te kyk hoe ek als weer aanmekaar kan sit. Die rek het ek gelukkig reeds gehad.
I removed the skirt from the shirt and further removed the netting from the petty coat. The netting was sewn in 3 strips so I removed each strip separately. In the photo I have started sizing up the netting to see how I could sew it all back together again. I had the elastic at home already.
Dit het my 3 probeerslae gekos voor ek die rekband ordentlik kon vasstik. (Ek doen laslappies en kwiltwerk, nie kostuums nie LOL) Ek het die onderrok geneem, 'n breƫ strook uitgesny en met die 3rde probeerslag eers vasgestik en toe die rek deur gereig. Die vorige 2 probeerslae was die strook wat ek gesny het te smal gewees.
It took me 3 tries before I got the waistband right. (I am used to patchwork and quilting, not costumes LOL). I took the petty coat and cut a wide strip from it, stitched it together and on the final try managed to get the elastic band through. The previous 2 turns I cut the strip to narrow.
Daarna het ek die 3 stroke kant geneem en hulle aangemaar vasgewerk en dit toe alles aan die rekband vasgewerk. Nou dat ek terugdink...volgende keer moet ek alles eers aanmekaar werk en laastens die rek inwerk...
Then I sewed the 3 strips of netting together and attached all of that to the waistband. In retrospect...next time I will first sew everything together and then add the elastic band in last...
Nou het Sussie nog 'n rompie om in te dans!
Now DD has another skirt to dance in!

Projekte tydens ons afsonderingsperiode
Hallo daar! Ek is so bly om weer agter my rekenaar te kan sit en 'n blog post te kan skryf. Sedert ons in afsondering gegaan het, vanaf 20 Maart tot nou, moes ek vele rolle vertolk, wat my natuurlik baie oorweldig het en my baie besig gehou het. Ek het min tyd gehad vir naaldwerk, maar hier is die projekte waarmee ek myself besig gehou het...
Hi there! I am so happy to be able to sit behind my pc and write a blog post. I had to play many roles since our lockdown started, from 20 March to now, which left me overwhelmed and busy. I did not have a lot of time for sewing, but these are the projects I have been busy with...
3. Ek het toe besluit dat dit is tyd vir 'n projek, wat ek al lankal al wou maak - die kinders se "Memory Quilts". Ek het al hulle baba klere, tot en met 18 maande ouderdom, gehou juis vir hierdie projek. Sussie is die jongste en is nou 4, so dis tyd dat hierdie klere verwerk word. Enige klere wat oorbly na hierdie projek, sal vir liefdadigheid gegee word.
3. After this, I decided to take on a project that I have been wanting to do for years - the kids' Memory Quilts. I kept there clothes up to the age of 18 months just for this project. DD is my youngest and is now 4, so it is time for the clothes to be processed. The clothes that will be left over after the project, will be donated to charity.
Tans word my naalwerk area hoofsaaklik as my tuis kantoor gebruik, so ek spandeer nie baie tyd aan my naalwerk nie. Hopelik sal dit binne-kort verander.
Tot later!
My sewing area is currently being used as a home office, so I am not spending much time on sewing. That will hopefully change soon.
Until later!

1. Maskers (natuurlik) / Masks (off course)
2 Die kinders se kwilte / The kids' quilts
Sussie se kwilt. Elkeen van hulle kon hul eie agterkant se materiaal kies. Sy het Paw Patrol gekies. Ek het die kwiltwerk 'n kombinasie van meandering en "doggy treats" gemaak. / DD's quilt. Each of them could chose their own backing. She chose Paw Patrol, so I did the quilting with meandering and "doggy treats"
Hier is die voltooide kwilt op haar bed. / Here is the finished quilt on her bed.
Boeta se kwilt. Hy het Minions vir sy agterkant gekies. Ek het die kwiltwerk blare gemaak, aangesien dit die tema van die materiale was (oerwoud) asook die blare van die Minions se klere. / DS's quilt. He chose Minions for his backing. I chose to quilt leaves for this quilt, as it fitted the theme of the fabric (jungle) as well as the outfits of the Minions.
