Free cowl add on for vivax dress

Already 5 years ago the vivax dress was released. I tested the Vivax dress back then for our eldest. At the moment our youngest is wearing my first Vivax. And now there is a free cowl add on for the kid's Vivax top and dress from Sofilantjes*, so I sewed another Vivax. This time 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....

Girl’s polar sweater dress

A new sweater dress! I love sweater dresses! So when I heard about the new sweater dress pattern from Sofiona Designs I was interested. Then I saw the girl's Polar Sweater/Dress and I fell in love right away with the shorter front and longer back. Our eldest also loved it right away and of course...

Magical twirl dresses

These twirl dresses have something magical because some extra pieces of fabric appear when twirling. Our girls love their Twirl Magic dresses from Ellie and Mac Patterns*. I made these dresses already a year ago during my last sewing weekend (the first one is 2 years because of Corona). So I cut them out beforehand...

Starling dress – top with attached skirt

I am on a roll with testing Boo and Lu Patterns. Another new great dress is the new release: Starling top and dress from Boo and Lu Patterns*. Our eldest chose all the options this time, so she went for short sleeves. Still a bit on the cold side if it was me, but she...

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...

Amethyst dress – wrap dress with collar

Slowly the spring dresses are coming. Weather is bouncing between +10 degrees Celsius and colder days so hopefully we can wear these new dresses soon! The newest dress(es) is (are) the Amethyst top and dress from Boo and Lu Patterns*. It is a faux wrap dress with beautiful details. The first detail that caught my...

Another Boo and Lu pattern: Venus dress

I am on a roll with Boo and Lu patterns. I have sewed up four Boo and Lu dresses already (I just finished one, which didn't make it to the blog yet). There is a new Boo and Lu pattern* and I was one of the lucky testers: the Venus top, dress and maxi. The...

Daisy dress

Usually when I buy fabric I don't buy it with a project in mind. This was the same when I picked out this minerva exclusive Dancing Lights Loop Back French Terry fabric. I did not have a specific project in mind. However when I received the project I felt it should become a top. This...

A big blue bird

Remember these Urban Jungle soft toys that I sewed for our two eldest? We only had two girls at that moment so of course once our youngest started to realize she did not have one of those big soft toys she started to request one. Enter the perfect Christmas present for our youngest (last year)....
