In a family of book nerds ( I will never move again!) the baby needed a book as well. So while she happily rolled around on her blanked, I rummaged through my scraps and whipped up a baby appropriate book: she can suck at it, try to eat it, throw it around without any visible … More I made a book
Never change a winning …pattern, right? This is my second Bloom jumper. I used a jacquard jersey from Traumbeere which I bought specifically to make this jumper with a few months ago. I used the wrong side of the fabric because the right side (yellow and white triangles) was just to bold a pattern to … More Triangle Bloom
I am more of a cardigan type but I still thought a basic sweater wouldn’t be a bad addition to my wardrobe. This is my first Bloom Sweatshirt (La Maison Victor May/June 2017) made with a very soft and drapey Stoff&Stil brushed sweat fabric. This was a pretty straightforward project, three main pattern pieces and … More Flowery Bloom
My Myrtle is not moaning but saying in a very self content and grown up sort of way: I am quite pleased with how this dress turned out. Nah, who am I kidding, she is screaming out loud: It fits! I love it! I will make more!!!!! I am so in love with this dress … More Myrtle Dress
After an aldut clothing hiatus due to my baby bump I present you the first post- baby item of clothing: my second Moss Skirt by Grainline Studios. Ironically, I sewed this skirt last summer, way before I was pregnant. After my first Moss needed many changes to fit, I had planned on sewing a second … More Second Moss Skirt
After complaining about the baby sewing books I took out of the library I will now present you baby clothes from the book I actually bought, Alles Jersey by Lissi Wilbat. I decided to buy that book because for once I found the sample clothes appealing, the patterns in the book wearable and aesthetically pleasing … More Baby Set
Although I have started on a T-Shirt which I intend to finish and blog about soon, there wasn’t much time to sew in the last couple of weeks. However, I managed to make some pouches for friends of mine for Christmas in several 20-minute-installments. I was able to cut out all the fabrics in one … More Christmas gifts
I tend to have problems with German craft patterns, be it knitting or sewing, for adults or children. In general, they are either too cutesy or too old-fashioned for my taste. You’ll find a number of German sewing books for babies or toddlers, along with some e-books, but most of them are overly colourful or … More Failed Overall turned Coat
I said I was fed up with quilt making- and I really am, but I couldn’t leave my own baby without a quilt of its own, so off I went to work on another one. I thought hard which fabrics to use, rummaged through my stash but couldn’t find something in large enough quantities to … More Triangular
Three pairs of pants in a couple of hours- not too bad! I tried two different patterns and used leftover fabrics, as well as leftover and new ribbing. The striped pants and the cream pants are La Maison Victor’s Lou Pants (September/October 2017), both in a size 56. But instead of just hemming the legs … More Lou and Jim
