Yacurama from “Minimale Extravaganz” is hosting again a TV series and film sew along, and I thought it might be fun to participate. Often I like a certain TV show not because of the story, but because of the dresses the women are wearing. As much as I love outfits like Kate beckingsale’s in “Van […]

Keko Kreativ Yoga Bag
Last year I started practising yoga, and it turned out that I love it a lot. I got a yoga mat as Christmas gift, and so I needed a bag for the mat. I used the yoga bag pattern from Keko Kreativ, a German designer for bag patterns. Fabric: As I am so not in […]
Itch to Stitch Anza Jumpsuit and Dress
Kennis released a new pattern, the Anza Jumpsuit and Dress. When I first saw it I immediatley fell in love with the bodice: the slightly curved V-neck and the breast pockets. So I coud not resist and applied for the testing. The Anza comes as jumpsuit or dress and features an elastic waist, pockets, cuffed sleeves […]
Itch to Stitch Tierras Woven Joggers
Kennis from Itch to Stitch released a new pattern, the Tierras Woven Joggers, and I was one of the pattern testers. The Joggers are meant to be comfy, but dressy pants, and that is what they are. The pictures are not the best but it was cold and rainy that weekend and I had to take […]
Winterdress
I did need a lot of patience for this dress. I started back in February last year, hoping I could finish it before winter was gone. Alas, this did not happen, and when the weather warmed up I was not in the mood of sewing a warm woolen winterdress. So it sat in my sewing […]

Blouse Burdastyle 09/2011 #128
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and enjoy the last days of the year. Here is one last garment that I made in 2016 and that I want to show you. I finished this little blouse already last summer, but somehow I did not get around to take pictures. Later, I totally forgot […]
Finally completed: Burdastyle 1/2007 #109A
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 […]

Vienna Tank Top modified
Right after I made my first Vienna Tank top from Itch to Stitch I made a second one, this time however I changed the pattern. I eliminated the center front seam with the facings and made the top with a double layer. Fabric: The fabric is a mesh and quite sheer. When I ordered it […]
Butterick 6285 The Skirt
The Butterick 6285 skirt is a circle skirt with pleats. The pleats are double pleats, so you need a lot of fabric. But it has the twirl factor: Â Fabric: There is a fun little story how I came to the fabric for this skirt. I was looking for a jersey for the top and ordered […]
