To be honest: the first day of KCWC was a bit of a challenge. I work full-time so sewing every day is not an evidence for me. The projects I'll choose for this week will be rather easy pieces... So no coats and sailors…
Although I'm trying to focus on childrenswear, I think this baby wrapper deserves it's own blog post. 10 days ago Gabrielle was born and every little creature should deserve a hand made present, don't you think? I hope she will…
Today I'm presenting a project specially for Christine D. A while ago she asked me to make 'something for boys'. Not a very clear briefing and since I have two girls, I decided to drawn an unisex version of 'sailor pants' named 'Charles' pants. With…
Today I'm presenting a second free Compagnie M. pattern. The Stella skirt is a basic skirt with just that little extra. Very easy so certainly a beginners project or for everyone wanting to make a quick skirt. You can mail…
This is my ultimate favourite piece of clothing for kids. Just because it's a typical kids thing. They can play and especially jump in it! Would that explain the origin of the word 'jumpsuit'? Let's see what Wikipedia has to say about…
Lately it seems that I'm only posting about Coat nr. 1 and to be honest, it's almost the only thing I'm working on at this moment. Drawing patterns (especially for coats) takes more time then I sometimes want. But today I'm glad…
Last weekend I've bought the cutest fabric ever at Julija's shop in Antwerp: Stella dot from Dear Stella. It inspired me to make a frivolous Stella Skirt that I've finished with a trim of pom pom ribbon. I started from a…
I worked really hard to launch my very first free sewing pattern. Coat nr. 1 was the winning project to be launched. I just made this pattern for 2 year old girls to start but more sizes should follow. If…
I’m really happy to post my very first coat: coat nr 1! Hopefully there are some more to follow. I’m optimistic. The last couple of weeks I’ve been studying a great book: metric pattern cutting by Winifred Aldrich. At first…
Today I'm excited to share my first own designed cardigan. I love this 'turned pockets'. They make a very simple cardigan a lot more special. I drew the cardigan myself and at this moment I'm working hard to launch my very…
With today's post I would to thank An from Straight-Grain! She's the one who convinced me to start my own sewing blog. So one of her beautiful dresses was on my to do list for a couple of weeks already.…
A while ago I made this Loic dress in my sewing class. In fact it's a shirt, but with the help of my 'sewing maestro' Karin, we turned it into a dress like the book indicates. The pattern comes…
His hoodie sweater is simple but really nice. A couple of times through the overlock machine, adding some seams and ready! A good idea for every one in search for a sewing project without having a lot of time. It's…
What an exciting day: my very first real blog post is a fact. I've worked a lot to finally have the feeling that I'm ready to show some of my sewing adventures. This pleated skirt from the book…
