This year I really thought about participating in “Me Made May”. But I do not need any motivation to wear my me made clothes. And I wear “me made” everyday, sometimes just my socks are not me made, sometimes only my undies are me made. The only challenge for me would be the daily photoshoot […]

Little Owls
Sometimes, but only sometimes, I do not sew lingerie or gaments. I am not much in home decor sewing or quilting or accessories like bags. But last weekend I made these cute little fellows: I first saw this pattern on Rhonda’s blog and wanted to make some since then. It just took me nearly […]
How to line foam cups
Today I will show you how to line foam cups. There might be other techniques but this is how I do it. When I start sewing a bra I like to lay out all my pieces rouhgly like they will be sewn into the bra. This is especially important if you have right and left cup […]
April Bra: BHS10 modified
It has been a bit quite here on the blog. If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that I did sew, but I just was not in the mood of taking pictures and writing a blog post. I had some busy weeks and now that everything is back to a normal pace I […]
February Bra: Make Bra Free Bralette & String Set Pattern
Hi everybody, Today I have something a bit different for my monthly bra, the free bralette and string pattern from Make Bra: As this is difficult to photograph when it lays on the floor, and as it does not make sense to take a picture from the black bralette on my black dress form, and as […]
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 […]
January bra: Merckwaerdigh BHS10 in lace
What better way to start off the New Year than with a new lingerie set! This is again my go-to pattern, the Merckwaerdigh BHS10 and three different panties: Watson Bikini, Milano Slip and Lacey Thong from Fehr Trade. I decided to use a well known pattern for the bra as I wanted to sew it […]
McCalls 6796
I lied when I said I would not sew anything before Christmas. I just could not stand it one weekend and sewed McCalls 6796. I made this pattern already last year and did not change anything except for the collar. I did not want to make the same collar, but did not like the second collar version […]
Style Arc Kerry Cargo Pants
Do you remember my attempts at sewing some pants last year? I was not very successful and do not wear any of these makes. But I decided to try it again. I just need pants and finding RTW pants that fit is also not an easy task. So I started with the Kerry Cargo Pants from Style Arc. […]
This is not OK – The Catalogue
You remember that some weeks ago I wrote about the campaign from Susanne from mamimade. She wanted to show the world that we do not forget and still care about the fate of the seamstresses in the factories. Now the catalogue is finished. Nearly 300 blogger participated and show an outfit that is either self-made […]
