Time to start with the summer wardrobe and anything with ruffles is a hit with our eldest (and also with our middle one). When I saw the tester call for this Sevilla Sleeveless Top pattern, which has the option of adding a ruffled shoulder, I knew it would be a hit with our eldest. Especially... Continue Reading →
Her very first jumpsuit
Just before I left on my sewing weekend our eldest said she wanted me to sew a jumpsuit. I don't like jumpsuit, so I had no inspiration. During our sewing weekend my partner in crime sewed up the Henrike jumpsuit form Zierstoff and I loved it right away. So I decided to give it a... Continue Reading →
Ruffle skirt
Our eldest has a newfound love for skirts. She loves to combine different garments with each other. So new skirts are always a good idea, especially when it has a ruffle. And the best part about the Isa wrap skort from Petite Stitchery & Co* is that the knee length is perfect for using up... Continue Reading →
Amicis add-on
In addition to the free add-ons that I showed you already (the free stripe add-on to the ADVtee and the free ruffle add-on to the Regina top and dress) from Sofilantjes*, there is another free add-on to the Amicis top, tunic and dress. This add-on is a free stripe to add to the sleeves. I... Continue Reading →
Regina dress with ruffles (free add-on)
Regina is a great dress (and tunic) pattern with lots of options. So far I have sewed four different Regina dresses from Sofilantjes*. I love that it works well as a winter dress with French Terry (like this Christmas Regina dress), as well as with knit fabric (like this Regina dress). Yet, no short sleeved... Continue Reading →
Free colour block add-on

Today I am showing you the free add-on for the Regem and ADVtee from Sofilantjes*. The free add-on gives you the opportunity to add a strip colour block to... Continue Reading →
Blue dress with big flutter sleeves
Our girl loves blue and flutter sleeves, so I knew I had to sew another Wylde dress from Stitch upon a time*. I sewed one for our youngest last year and our eldest loved those flutter sleeves. The Wylde top and dress includes short flutter sleeves and long flutter sleeves so I wanted to give... Continue Reading →
Raglan meets dolman sweater
I love asymmetrical clothing. It might actually be the reason why I love to sew, to create asymmetrical pieces of clothing. When I see an asymmetrical sewing pattern I just have to buy it. When I saw the Miss Heron sweater from Sofiona Designs with the asymmetrical option, I loved it right away. And even... Continue Reading →
Winter dress
Since our girls mostly wear dresses and I love to sew dresses I am always on the lookout for different types of dresses with something unique. When I saw the Autumn Curry dress from A.J.s Inspired I loved the illusion of wearing a short vest on top of a dress. Like most patterns that I... Continue Reading →
Magistra top
A new top (and tunic or dress) pattern from Sofilantjes*: the Magistra top, tunic and dress. It is the perfect top for work or for a day out with a beautiful neckline. As always the pattern includes different options. There are long hemmed sleeves, cuffed sleeves (with beautiful pleats) and short sleeves. I sewed up... Continue Reading →
