On the go #8
Slowly, a little too slowly for my liking, autumn is creeping into the land. Not so much the weather, but rather the shops radiate this. The mannequins are given warmer autumn fashion, coziness with candles and plaids is promoted and, for those stores that sell them, more and more woolen items are becoming available. I always enjoy looking at the…

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…

This is the last of the…

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…

From Elsa to Crystal
Christmas has been over for a while and the Christmas presents have all been unwrapped, so time to show them here! Like every year, I make a large part of my Christmas presents myself. My most productive months of the year, when I actually finish crafts, are usually November and December. This year I kept track: in 2022 I made…

Kokeshi dress for princess P
Princess P, daughter of my friend (*ahum* queen) Evelien, celebrated her birthday. The perfect excuse for me to make another Catalina dress. I found a really cute (kawaii) fabric in my stash: fuchsia with a pattern of kokeshi dolls After she made a couple of pirouettes the dress received the Princess P seal of approval 😉 Cheers, Charlotte
