First summer dress of this year

Although the temperatures are not summery at all, I did sew my first summer dress: the Sprinkle Sweets Bow Back Pattern from Candy Castle Patterns*. Our eldest and me really like tiered dresses, so that is always a winner here. This time it is a woven dress. I am participating in the #lastsewiststanding challenge, which...

Christmas ornaments

I love Christmas and I love sewing for our Christmas tree even more! I just hung our Christmas Advent Calendar so the Christmas spirit is starting in our house. I sewed our family in mini pals some time ago, which our youngest still loves to play with, so when I saw the mini pals holiday...

A skort: is it a skirt or a short?

It has been a while since I last posted. First we went on holiday and when I came back I had a sewing dip. This time it lasted longer than normal and signing up for pattern tests is the perfect way for me to get back into sewing. So I signed up for three tests!...

Another Brueram dress with shirring

Remember this Brueram dress that I sewed last year? Both our eldest and me fell in love with that dress. This year it was time for a Brueram top and dress from Sofilantjes* for our middle one. It is the perfect light summer dress with the woven fabric. Yes, the Brueram dress is back! It...

Sunshine swirl skirt

Candy Castle Patterns are always a bit hit in our house and so is the new released the Sunshine Swirl skirt from Candy Castle Patterns*.

Folded x-mas tree meets Louise dress

Christmas tree skirt

Christmas is the best time of the year in my opinion. Having my birthday in this period adds to that. I just love the month December. And sewing for Christmas is even better. Last year I sewed this advent calendar, which the girls love and is a big hit. This year I have another Christmas...

3-in-1 convertible bag

The new Galaxie pattern from Jalie is released: Galaxie 5, 3-in-1 convertible backpack. I can assure you it is a great new pattern. Galaxie patterns are bag or accessoires patterns, great for gifts. I have sewed a Galaxie pattern before, the travel bag pattern. I love my bags to be with many different pockets and...

Twirl away

The Peppermint swirl dress/skirt from Candy Castle Patterns* is a one of a kind pattern that makes the most amazing dresses and skirts. I made this rainbow coloured one and this little red riding hood one for our girls. Our girls still wear them after 2 years, they just have gotten a bit shorter. With...

Linen summer dress with pleats

Just before my holiday I sewed up this Miss Haze top and dress from Sofiona Designs. It is just such a lovely summer dress, flowy, light and with beautiful details. It is not a quick sew but I learned a lot during this test. First I will show you the dress with pleats at the...
