Pelotti handbag in black

Another Pelotti handbag is done, and on the shelf in the shop.

 I'm still making two more of these, before I move on to my next design. I can't wait to get started :)

London trip

     

Went to London this weekend to be at the miss plus size international galla. At work we made the evening gown for the Norwegian contestant Nastaran. Unfortunantly she didn't win, but it was still fun to see the competition. To see pictures of her dress go to her instagram @curvesandi.                                           - by Pedersen

Pelotti handbag

This is one of my first handbag designs, and to be my first bag I think it's pretty cool. 

I have so many other ideas for small handbags and cluthes, so you will probably be seeing more of them here on the blog very soon.

DIY gumball machine

 

I have seen these all over pinterest and finally made one myself.

 Sadly it's empty at the moment, but I have a feeling it will be filled with candy very soon :)

Pelotti hairbows

I resently made these bow hairclips, and they are now sold at a store called Designerne in Sandefjord, Norway. The bows are made out of scrap fabric from other projects. I am currently on my summer vecation and don't know if they have sold any of them, fingers crossed :) The reason for the name Pelotti is that I finally started my own brand, and the letters are a combination of the first letters in my first, middle and last name :)

New dress!

Yesterday I went to a wedding in a dress I designed myself.

 I started sewing the dress on thursday, and it was finished the morning of the wedding(saturday). I would have started sewing it sooner, but I was sick last week. This week we worked on several of the other dressed for the wedding, including the weddingdress, so we have been working from nine in the morning, to eight-nine at night to finish everything. 

Here is a picture of me in the dress I made: 

 

I really like the result, and so did a lot of people in the wedding :) 

below is a photo from the wedding. this is taken after the dinner, I just really fell in love with the big chandeliers.

It was a lovely wedding, I had fun and danced the night away :)

Hair tutorials

lately I have found myself watching a lot of hair tutorials on youtube, and I finally tried out a couple of them. This is the result:

First we have Louise (sprinkleofglitter) and her hair bow tutorial. I have always had trouble with this one, but thanks to Louise's video I got it right the first time!

 

 my result:

 And then we have Thecherrydollface and her 50s inspired tutorial. I love everything about this kind of hairstyles, they are so girly and fun.

 

how it turned out:

 Hope you liked it!

New Year's Resolution

  This year i'm actually not going to buy any clothes, jewelry or accessories. Instead I will sew my own clothes, and make my own jewelry and accessories. I think this could be a fun and challenging year, but I'm gonna make it!
 
 In order to make this work, i have made up some rules:

1. I can't buy any readymade clothes, accessories of jewelry
2. if I want any new stuff I have to make them myself, eighter from scratch or redesign something I already have.
3. I can buy shoes, because this is something I can't make myself( but I will keep this to a minimum, I have enough shoes)
4. I will make updates at least ones a month, that way it's easier to see how I'm doing, and it will be harder for me to give up :)
