Summer top: Artemis

Although it is freezing cold when I am writing this post I did sew up my first summer top. Summer tops are great during summer but also work great during winter for layering. So she can already wear her summer top now. I used the Artemis top from Stitch upon a time*. The Artemis top...

Third Navarro

The Adult Navarro by Stitch Upon A Time* is a very versatile pattern and maybe you didn't recognize all the Navarros that I sewed. I sewed two for our girl and since it is also available for women I sewed one for myself this time. The pattern includes a dress (like I sewed for our...

Asymmetrical Dahlia Top

I love asymmetrical garments, so when I saw the tester call for the Dahlia Top I jumped on the occasion and hoped I was picked. I was over the moon when I was selected to sew up the Dahlia top from SOLA Patterns. I love the asymmetrical neckline and the gathering on the front. It...

Navarro top and dress

When I was looking for stretch velvet fabric for my last project I came across a few new online shops. In one I saw this Kapitone jersey/knit. I knew our girls would love the print and I was intrigued what kind of fabric it would be so I ordered one meter. Up next was a...

Velvet Sofiona outfit

This month I was inspired to create an outfit in velvet. I must admit, velvet isn't really something that I often use. Last year when I created this sweater in stretch velvet it started to grow on me and I knew our girl would love a velvet outfit. It took some time to find the...

New Sofilantjes release: Amicis

It is time for another new Sofilantjes* pattern! This time it is a basic piece of clothing: the Amicis top, tunic, dress and maxi. It is a quick sew and fits nicely. I sewed the top version of the Amicis, which is the shortest length of the pattern. It includes three more lengths, tunic, dress...

Lucky Clover high low top

I love high low dresses and tops on our daughter and so does she. This skirt and this dress are her favourites. When I saw the Lucky Clover I knew our daughter would love it. The longer the top/dress the better and the twirl of the Lucky Clover top and skirt pattern from Ellie and...

A twisted outfit: Romy twist tee and skirt

Twisted and asymmetrical clothing are my weak spot, so I fell in love the moment I saw this outfit, the Adult Romy Twist Tee and Skirt from Petite Stitchery*. They look complicated and sophisticated, but they are actually very quick sews. The twist top has three different lengths, I made the regular top length, also...

Phoenix tops

Looking for summer tops for your girls? Look no further, the newest pattern from Petite Stitchery*, the Kids Phoenix Crop, Top and Maxi, is a great staple pattern with different options for strappy tops. There are 4 different necklines and I have sewed three of them. Have a look at the cute tops I sewed...

Raspberry top!

Tops and vests are actually the most useful things to sew. They make a little bit too summery patterns suitable for colder weather. Our eldest really is a dress/skirt kind of girl, especially maxi dresses. The dresses I have sewed lately are mostly sleeveless or have short sleeves, and the new Raspberry cover-up/top from Sofiona Designs...
