Retro crop top
As promised, I still needed to show you the project I recently completed in sewing class. Perhaps the fabric is not unfamiliar to you? I previously made this retro culottes with it. The pants turned out to be a huge success with the recipient and I still had a reasonable amount of fabric left, so I wanted to make another…

Orbit the dragon with wings
A while back I crocheted Orbit the dragon from the free pattern by Projectarian. Initially I wanted to combine the dragon’s cute ears with the wings available in the expansion pack, but I eventually decided against it. However, I did decide that I would one day crochet the expansion pack dragon with wings. It took me quite a while, but…

Retro culottes
This one was finished a while ago, but – you guesses it – I forgot to blog about it 😅. When I had guests over during the spring holiday, we also played and pottered around in the attic for a while. Among other things in my large stash of fabrics. The following one was singled out: “Ooh!!”, one of my…

Make-up bags
In sewing class we made something completely different than usual. One of our fellow students had bought a stock of imitation leather that had to go and handed it out for free for a joint project: a set of toiletry or make-up bags! Pattern inspiration came from Pattydoo, but our sewing teacher made numerous changes, such as an easier way…

Spring Jacket
For Christmas I made my youngest godchild a pair of trendy green linen pants. After making this and a cute little bowtie to go with it, I still had a fair amount of fabric left, which I could use to complete the outfit. So at the beginning of this year I leafed through the available magazines in my sewing class,…

Pink birthday
For the birthday of one of my nieces, I once again resorted to an old favourite pattern, the Catalina dress from The Simple Life Pattern Company. I’ve already made so many versions of this dress, but I never tire of it. Fairly simple to make, with always a stunning and practical result. For these birthday dresses I dived into my…

Forest animals dungerees
Christmas has been over for a while and the Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, but I didn’t show them all here yet. I can already hear you thinking: “Erm, Charlotte, there must have already been 7 posts about presents with I don’t know how many creations! When will this end?!” Well, now, actually. This is the last of the…

My Christmas sweater
After everything I made for Christmas to give away, finally something I made for myself! The Julgran sweater* by Andi Satterlund has been on my wishlist to make since its publication in 2017. Five years later and I finally got around to it! * Unfortunately Andi decided to close her shop at the end of 2022, so this pattern can…

Jim pants
Christmas has been over for a while and the Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, but I didn’t show them all here yet. Well, not the homemade presents. After all the knitting mill creations, another sewing project today! For my youngest godchild I had already made the Jim pants from La Maison Victor (Sep/Oct 2016) a while back. I liked…

Harry Potter Headbands
They’re all the rage these days, headbands. I saw them appearing everywhere and I had thought several times that this would be a fun craft project. In the meantime I had made the Gryffindor beanies and also wanted to do something with the other leftovers from the Harry Potter-scarves, but hats suddenly didn’t really appeal to me that much anymore.…
