Jacket nr 3 for me

I have already sewed 2 jackets last year and here is the next one: the Charlie jacket from Jalie. My first jacket was the Frida Jacket from Fibre Mood, the second is the... Continue Reading →
Softshell SHO! Jacket
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.

Get ready for... Continue Reading →

As some of you know, and most of you probably do not, we got married about a month ago. A lot of people asked me if I was going to sew my own wedding dress. Although I like a challenge, I found that challenge a bridge too far. Nevertheless, I did sew the dresses for... Continue Reading →
My first coat – softshell Zipfeljacke Bella
Our youngest girl needed a new coat. Although we have two girls and both girls are born in the same month, you might expect that for our second daughter we don't need much new clothes.
