Read about all my sewing makes
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... Continue Reading →
Our girls love Sofilantjes patterns and I love asymmetrical designs so the new pattern from Sofilantjes* is a hit! It is the perfect summer pattern for those hot days! Even more with the extended size range up to 18 years. The Felix top, tunic and dress has three different lengths and a fun asymmetrical design.... Continue Reading →
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 →
Also our middle girl had her birthday, with of course a new birthday dress. I used the Sonetto tunic and dress from Eunoia Design, which is now on sale at Sew PDF*. I love patterns with lots of options to really put together your own dress. This pattern definitely has lots of options. It includes... Continue Reading →
My birthday was a couple weeks back, just before Christmas. I sewed this dress so I had something new to wear on my birthday. It is great to sew something for a special day, don't you think? I loved the result of the kids Lykka so of course I also had to sew one for... Continue Reading →

There is a new Fibre Mood* released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater. The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley. Our girl...

Our middle girl was in need of a new coat. I had some fabric left from this softshell coat (also for our middle girl, wasn't she small back then?), but not enough for a whole coat. Plus I like colour blocking and combining fabrics, so I ordered some new softshell fabric to make the Kids Jacket from SHO! The red... Continue Reading →
This year, 2020, has been a challenging sewing year. I guess being busy and trying to fit the sewing in between all the activities and being sleep deprived are not the best circumstances. Just like with this top I had some cutting issues. I had to get creative and solve some fabric issues but I love the... Continue Reading →
