Take a look inside my Me-Made Closet!
I promised a tutorial for the skirt I made, so here it is. Let me show you my original diagram. Yes, this is in Dutch. I fine-tuned this and applied colour-coding and registered every step to give you a nice tutorial. So here you go, for all of you who want to make a skirt like mine, follow along! For all you crazy people out … Continue reading Tutorial for drafting a mini-skirt
A couple of months ago I saw this fabric in my local store. I immediately fell in love with it, but could not for the love of God think of something to use it for, so sadly I left it there. After seeing Kim’s gorgeous weekender bag made in a fabric that made me think of this one, I had an epiphany. This fabric would … Continue reading Self drafted mini-poncho-sombrero-skirt
Hello ladies, here I am again. Long time no see. I have valid reasons for that! I have been super busy making plans for the renovation of our apartment. We have finally agreed on a plan with our architect (and more importantly, a price with our renovator) so we can move forward and apply for the permits. The past few months I have been very … Continue reading Vogue 8630 – a dress with 10 darts for Frocktober
I took a class from Craftsy! And I loved it! My reason for taking the class was to get my hands on the pattern of the Sassy Librarian Blouse. When I last checked, they were having a sale, it ends today! I figure I could have made this without taking the video lessons, because I have made shirts before, but … Continue reading My Sassy Librarian Blouse
Last weekend I started on my next project for The Monthly Stitch, a vintage pattern. I have a 70s pattern for a knit dress that seems very promising on the envelope. I also had this fabric from my latest fabric binge. I thought they would be a perfect match. In my opinion they still are. My sewing skills are just not good enough when it … Continue reading I started a dress – I finished a skirt
A while ago I decided to join The Monthly Stitch. A new challenge is posted every month, and you can join in the challenge or not. The challenge for August was ‘CAPES’ and since I had this pattern in my stash since June, I decided to hop on the bandwagon and join. I finished just in time, August 31th, still got 22 hours left! The … Continue reading My dear Watson
*** Warning *** Crappy mobile phone pictures coming up *** *** Next project are more exciting, I promise! *** I wanted to post this 2 weeks ago before we went to Belgium to visit family and friends, but never got round to taking pictures (and now I only got round to snapping a few bad pics with my mobile phone), so here it is now… … Continue reading Deer and Doe Airelle and an Award, my first EVER!
*** don’t expect much sewing related stuff, because, well, SUMMER *** THERE being BBK Live in Bilbao. BBK Live is a 3-day festival in Bilbao. We only went the first day and we saw Editors, Depeche Mode and Biffy Clyro -the fact that the latter sing in an adorable Scottish accent doesn’t hurt, neither does the fact that they almost always have no shirt on … Continue reading I wasn’t here because I was there – beach dress and shorts
I finished this dress the last day of June, but haven’t been able to get pictures before, blame it on an urgent desire to go to the beach. This dress is the Bleuet from Deer and Doe, and I love it. I am so so so happy with it! Finally a shirt-dress that actually suits me. I have tried several before in different stores, but … Continue reading Indie Pattern Month 2013 – Deer and Doe Bleuet
I have had this pattern lying around for 3 months now, along with the fabric I bought especially for this. A gorgeous yellow-pistachio silk jacquard. I love yellow fabrics, there is just something about the bright vibrance that cheers me up instantly (not that I need a lot of cheering up, I am a pretty cheery person by nature). But somehow, the foresight of letting … Continue reading Colette Peony – aka Stashbusting Flamingoes
