As soon as I saw the first pictures of the It’s not me, it’s you collection from The Lingerie Formula, I was thrilled. I do not remember how long I stalked the website until I hit the “buy” button. But finally, I did. And here is my finished collection. The collection consists of 4 pantie […]
Itch to Stitch Sentosa Tank Top

Madalynne Roxie Bralette
Some weeks ago I made the Roxie bralette from Madalynne. I was always unsure if I should buy this pattern or not. I finally gave in when smallbobbins had a discount when buying the pattern together with a fabric kit. Fabric All fabric is from a Roxie bralette kit from smallbobbins. As I chose the […]
Itch to Stitch Galicia Top
Some weeks ago I participated in another pattern test for Itch to Stitch, the Galicia Top. It is described as “a sweet little woven blouse that can be dressed up or down. From the front, flattering gathers at the front neckline and top of the raglan sleeves add interest and shaping. From the back, the […]
A white-lilac Maya set
Bras are quite fast to sew, so here is another Maya bra from Afi Atelier with some matching panties I made. This one is again made with non-stretch lace and lined with sheer cup lining. For the armhole finish, I used fold-over elastic instead of picot-elastic. As a result, the strap attachment point was moved […]
A peach-colored Maya Bra
I made a further Maya bra, the free pattern from Afi Atelier, this time with an embroidered lace. I just love how it turned out, the lace is so beautiful. All material was from a kit that I got years ago from sewy. It included a lace trim with a scalloped edge that I used […]

Patchwork blanket
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
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 […]
