I wanted to sew this top as soon as I read the magazine back in 2007. It only took me 9 years, but maybe it wasn’t too bad that it took so long as my sewing skills have certainly improved over the last years and I am really happy how this turned out. It soon became my favorite […]

Itch to Stitch Idyllwild Hack and Birthday Party
Hi everybody, I always wanted to make the Idyllwild Top with a V-neck instead of the scoop neck that comes with the pattern. I just like the look of V-necks better on me. So as Kennis from Itch to Stitch asked me if I would like to hack one of her patterns for her birthday […]

And I am still unsure if I really like the style. I had totally forgotten about the McCall pattern, but it seemed to be a good substitute. […]
Anima Pants meet Stripes
I stuck to my plan and have finished my casual wardrobe so far (except for the cardigan that I am still knitting). The pants are the Anima Pants from papercut, the T-shirt is self drafted. Tha Anima Pants are quite popular at the moment, but as I ordered the pattern I was not aware of […]
Butterick 6031
One basic I can not live without in winter are slips. The last ones I made are worn out by now and so I needed a replacement. Last time I used Jalie 2568. The pattern is quite nice, however, the neckline was too high for some of my V-neck tops, the armscye rather tight, and […]
Signe Summer Dress
After another exhausting week at work I wanted to sew something easy at the weekend. As much as I enjoy sewing the Marfy jacket, this is a long term project, and I needed something with instant gratification to treat myself with. I was looking for an easy summer dress to wear at home. First, I […]
