Während der Hitzewelle habe ich noch eine weitere ärmellose Bluse genäht. Tatsächlich ist diese noch vor dem Dana Point Top entstanden. Nachdem ich meine Schnittmuster nach einem geeigneten Kandidaten durchsucht und eine Menge Reviews auf Pattern Review gelesen habe, habe ich mich für Vogue 8772 entschieden. Das ist ein klassischer Blusenschnitt mit verschiedenen Ärmel- und Kragenvarianten. […]

Winterkleid
Für dieses Kleid habe ich sehr viel Geduld gebraucht. Letztes Jahr im Februar hatte ich es angefangen in der Hoffnung, es noch vor Ende des Winters fertig zu bekommen. Das ist leider nicht passiert, und als das Wetter wärmer wurde, hatte ich keine Lust mehr, ein warmes Wollkleid zu nähen. So lag das Kleid für […]
Work in progress: Vogue 8667
Remember when I said that I would make the Davina dress in a wool knit? Plans have changed though when the fabric arrived. The knit is from Anita Pavani and it is lovely but it has onlysome mechanical stretch. So not a good match for the Davina dress pattern. Instead I decided to treat the […]

Most of you probably have been there before, now I have lost my sewing mojo somehow. It does not mean that I do not sew at the moment, but it does not give me the joy it should. Mainly because I had a few failures in the last time. So I lost my confidence and […]
Muslin Day
Last weekend I spent cutting and thread tracing muslins for my next three projects. Usually I try to avoid to work on several projects in parallel, but I thought it might be more efficient to handle the big rol of muslin only once. I cut muslins for the Marfy free pattern jacket for the sew-along with Leisa from […]
Adventures with Pants
I love dresses: I love wearing them, and I love sewing them. But I realized, that most of the time I wear trousers. Until now I have avoided sewing trousers, as I was always afraid that I would not get the fit right. And I still am. I started my adventure with the craftsy course “Pant Fitting […]
My Fairy-Tale Coat
It has been already a while that I finished my second coat. It is Vogue 8346: I fall in love with this pattern the moment I saw it. I like the flared skirt and the silhouette: both feminine and elegant. It took me three months to finish my version, view D (the one featured in the middle […]
