During the heat wave I made another sleeveless blouse. I actually sewed this one before the Dana Point Top. I searched my pattern stash for a suitable pattern, read a lot of reviews at Pattern review and finally settled on Vogue 8772. This is a basic shirt pattern with different options for sleeves and collar. […]

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 […]
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 […]

Muslin Day
Last weekend I spent cutting and thread tracing muslins for my next three projects. Usually I try to avoid to work on several projects in parallel, but I thought it might be more efficient to handle the big rol of muslin only once. I cut muslins for the Marfy free pattern jacket for the sew-along with Leisa from […]
Adventures with Pants
I love dresses: I love wearing them, and I love sewing them. But I realized, that most of the time I wear trousers. Until now I have avoided sewing trousers, as I was always afraid that I would not get the fit right. And I still am. I started my adventure with the craftsy course “Pant Fitting […]
My Fairy-Tale Coat
It has been already a while that I finished my second coat. It is Vogue 8346: I fall in love with this pattern the moment I saw it. I like the flared skirt and the silhouette: both feminine and elegant. It took me three months to finish my version, view D (the one featured in the middle […]
