I've always loved wrap dresses and today I can add a new one to our pattern range: the Frederique dress for girls from 1 - 10yo. And for button lovers like me I added a button-up option too! The Frederique…
For my last Frederique I wanted a fabric like this one. In my Theo dress I loved the combination of the shirt dress pattern with the small geometrical print a lot. So when I spotted this one at Mana Ona at 'het Stoffenspektakel'…
When I showed my first Frederique dress to Bjorn, he replied: And? Is it reversible? I was so proud of my dress and that was all he had to say? No it wasn't reversible. :( So I went back upstairs,…
Today I can finally present you my first Frederique dress! Yes! I've been really looking forward to this moment. Always exciting to read the first reactions. I love wrap dresses a lot and when I show this model to my clients…
I've always liked these types of hats, but sometimes I had doubts about this models for bigger girls like Nore & Lisa. But then I thought: if I don't make one now, they will only become bigger! This is a…
You already know that I love thrift stores and flea markets! Last year I made myself a promise not to buy new clothes for myself or the kids. Apart from 3 coats (one raincoat and two wintercoats) I succeeded. I think…
Today we added 4 new translations to our shop. The Susanne for TEENS & WOMEN and the Susanne for KIDS have been translated to German and French. Finally! For this special occasion you get a 10% reduction on all Susanne…
I received an email from an English freelance journalist whether I wanted to send over some pictures of my sewing room. I asked some time to upgrade it a bit and afterwards I made the pictures below. I love my…
Last Thursday I launched the new wallet project#17 pattern. To be honest. We didn't expect the cork leather & kraft-tex kits would be sold out in such a short period of time. That's why we went looking for alternatives. Mieke in fact predicted…
As you probably already know, I'm launching my wallet project#17 pattern later today. Probably that will happen somewhere in the evening. In the meanwhile I let you drool a little bit more. This wallet is sewn by Mieke with a…
This year's sewing contest was a great success. When I first came up with the idea of organising this coat contest I hoped at least 25 people would participate. So I was really overwhelmed to see that almost 100 creations…
Wallet project #17 was born after your enthusiastic reactions and I'm glad you kind of pushed me to launch this pattern: it kind of forced me to try my own design in other types of materials. Like cork leather for…
This story started with one simple need: a wallet! My wallet was getting old and ugly. And I needed some more space for extra cards. So it was about time to make myself a wallet. That I wanted to use kraft-tex was…
Let's focus on the contest again today. I didn't make a beautiful overview of the last 3 prize packs yet. Time to change this... now! No wonderful prizes without sponsors, so ket's thank them all shall we? +++ 1st Prize…
Hi, my name is Dirk. I was born about 1 months ago! I have been crocheted by Marte, but my best buddy is Lisa. Actually she decided that I'm not a male dragon but a female one. Can you tell?…
When I first saw the Violetta sweater at Julia's shop I immediately fell in love with the design. It's so me. Knitting this one was on my todo-list forever but since this summer I'm the proud owner of my own Violetta.…
The contest is halfway! Can you imagine? You still have 2 full weeks to make your own coat and get a chance to win one of these amazing prize packs. Up till now we have 16 entries. If you know…
Today I’m sharing an overview of the great prizes I can give away in the Plan & Simple Lewis coat category. Again I would love to thank the sponsors a lot for being part of this contest. In the 2nd category,…
Since last year I'm knitting again! I didn't blog all my projects so far, but I finished quite some garments actually. I think what motivates me a lot is that I swapped my sewing lessons for a knitting course this year. And as…
Today I'm sharing an overview of the great prizes I can give away in the Plan & Simple Louisa coat category. Or shall I say, that I can give away thanks to my fabulous sponsors? I can't stress enough that…
