Patchwork blanket

Posted on 6. March 20226. March 2022by MySewingDreams

When my mother passed away in 2019 and we had to dissolve the household, I found a patchwork project between her handicrafts stuff. I cannot remember that I ever saw her working on this, but I remember a lot of the fabrics from old family photos from the 60s. There were also some fabrics from […]

Pillowcase

Posted on 19. February 202219. February 2022by MySewingDreams

My husband has an additional pillow that he uses when reading in bed. It always bothered me that I did not have a matching pillowcase. So some time ago I bought neutral fabrics and finally sewed two pillowcases last weekend. To get my pattern I traced around the shape of the pillow. I cut this […]

A study in black

Posted on 30. January 202230. January 2022by MySewingDreams

Following “A study in scarlet” by Sherlock Holmes, I made a study in black. To properly understand the difference in construction and appearance between a regular bikini brief and a boyshort brief, I sewed them both from the same fabric and with the same design: very simple in the front, the leg opening in the […]

Happy strappy lingerie set

Posted on 16. January 202216. January 2022by MySewingDreams

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

Posted on 31. December 202130. December 2021by MySewingDreams

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

Posted on 30. December 202130. December 2021by MySewingDreams

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

Posted on 29. December 202129. December 2021by MySewingDreams

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

Posted on 29. December 202129. December 2021by MySewingDreams

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

Posted on 28. December 202128. December 2021by MySewingDreams

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

Posted on 27. December 202128. December 2021by MySewingDreams

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 […]
