V from Volare sweater

I sewed some new sweaters for myself perfect for cooler spring or fall weather. I used the new release from Sofilantjes* the Volare Sweater. I love the V shape colour block in the sweater. I really like the design of the sweater but sewing 12 V's wasn't my favorite activity. I have tried several ways...

Edge fold dress

Misusu has released a couple of new patterns just recently. I love the patterns by Misusu because of her geometric lines and clever way of constructing the garment. The Edge fold top and dress by Misusu is again one of those gems that you just need to try. It only has 3 pattern pieces and...

Vivax dress for women

Luckily our daughter wasn't the only one who received a new Vivax dress. It is finally time for an Adult Vivax top and dress from Sofilantjes*. I sewed up three Vivax dresses for myself all with the cowl add on. I am a big fan and wore all of them since I sewed them. I...

Long miss polar sweater dress

I love our eldest polar sweater/dress so much that I wanted one for myself as well. Although I don't wear long dresses that often I just love the high/low effect of the Miss polar sweater/dress. So I also sewed the full length (calf length) dress for myself. The Miss polar dress is just so comfortable....

Madeline top – cross over wrap top

The first pattern test for myself in 2023: the Madeline top and dress from Mosaic Patterns. I loved the neckline of the top the moment I saw it and that neckline persuaded me to test the top. The top is nicely fitted at the back and still loose enough at the front. I love that...

Papavero asymmetrical dress

Some time ago I received this beautiful Minerva Exclusive viscose challis fabric from Minerva. I fell in love with the print the moment I saw it. Those colors, such a bright and happy print. I just wanted it right away. I was very happy that I was one of the lucky ones to receive the...

Asymmetrical women’s top

Our girl was not the only lucky one to receive a Felix top. I also sewed a Felix top for myself and I love this new pattern from Sofilantjes*. I basically love everything about it: the flowyness, the asymmetrical top and hem, the fact that the band covers your bra band. You can finish the...

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...

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...

Fling hoodie jacket

The best cozy garment that I sewed this year is definitely this fling hoodie jacket from Madeit Patterns that I made in alpenfleece. I mean it is soft, warm, long and so cuddly. The fling hoodie dress just released and the zippered jacket will release later. During testing I sewed up the zippered jacket, which...
