I started the New Year with a happy strappy lingerie set. The strappy version of the Chloe Thong from EvielaLuve was the reason why I bought this pattern in the first place. My former versions were just to try out the pattern. To go with the thong I decided that the free bralette pattern from […]

Cardigan Citadel
This cardigan Citadel by Joji Locatelli was a big challenge for me and I was not sure at first if I could do it. But I just started and now I have a beautiful jacket that I wear often. I found the yarn in our local yarn store. It was a remnant that was marked […]
Shirtdress
In the second online class I took at Marchionna Couture, we sewed a shirtdress. Again, the material and pattern were included. Special features of this dress are the tabs and the handmade belt. In front, the dress has large patch pockets. The facing at the hem is stitched several times so that the skirt has […]
Style Arc Sissy-Blouse
The next blouse I sewed was the Sissy Blouse from Style Arc. I sewed this blouse once a few years ago and it was worn out and discolored at the end. Fabric: The fabric is from stoffe.de. It is the same as the coral-colored blouse with smocking, only in cream. However, it has more structure, […]
Burda 02/2013 101 Shirt
After I have cleaned out my closet rigorously in the spring, I really needed a few new blouses. I started with a simple shirt blouse. Fabric: The fabric is an incredibly soft cotton batiste that I’ve had in my closet for years. Unfortunately, I no longer know exactly where I got it, but it could […]
Blouses with smocking technique
Last year I had taken a class on creating a Chanel-style jacket with Sebastiana Di Francesco Marchionna of Marchionna Couture in Moers, Germany (highly recommended!). We stayed in casual contact, and that’s how I learned that she was now also offering classes on zoom. In one of those classes, we sewed a blouse with a […]
A few socks
Earlier this year I treated myself to yarn from dandelion & dogwood . The left yarn is a sock yarn and was called “The queens gambit”, named after the TV series, and I find the name very appropriate. The right yarn is “Lauree” and intended for gloves. I knitted the sock yarn into two pairs […]
Comox Trunks by Thread Theory II
For my boyfriend’s birthday, I sewed again some Comox Trunks . This has become my standard pattern for men’s underpants and is always pulled out when new underpants are needed. I always skip the front slit, since it is not needed. This makes sewing a little easier. The fabric is from Stofflager Hamburg , the […]
A man’s hoodie
When I had finished sewing my Lamma Hoodie, my friend liked it so well that he also wanted to have one. He loved especially the color choice gray/black. So I searched for a suitable pattern and ended up with a mixture of Jalie 3884 and the Jordan Hoodie from pattydoo. Fabric: Both fabrics are organic […]
More lingerie: Chloe Thong and Liz Bralette
I sewed some more underwear, twice the Chloe Thong from Evielaluve , once my standard slip, the Watson Bikini, and the Liz Bralette from Sew Your Happy . I sewed everything from scraps of my pajamas. The foldover elastic is from a bundle from Wien 2002 . The Chloe-Thong comes in different variations, you can […]
