 Next week a blog will appear on the BERNINA blog with a tutorial for a wasp scarer. Just in time to make it before spring really starts! No poison, no traps; a 'wasp scarer' looks like a wasp nest and this makes wasps think: "Hey there's already a nest... I'm gone!".
Sustainable and environmentally friendly, especially if you make the wasp scarer from leftover fabric! The link will appear in this blog soon. Here is the free sewing pattern:  How do you recreate a Chanel outfit, without a ready-made sewing pattern and in the style of the past? In two blogs on the BERNINA blog in May and June, the jacket, skirt and hat will be used as examples. Marga shows extensively, using more than 80 photos, how to make a Chanel-Style Vintage outfit. Of course, there is also room for your own input because it does not have to be an exact copy of an outfit from the past, such as the one worn by Ines de la Fressange on the left above.

In a world where everything is produced quickly and in mass quantities, there is a special charm in the past. This is especially true for perfumes. Vintage perfumes are not just fragrances; they are time capsules that take us back to bygone eras filled with elegance, craftsmanship, and mystery. But what makes vintage perfumes so special, and where can you find the most exquisite ones? How to recognize a real Chanel Vintage authentic jacket?  How to recognize Vintage Chanel couture? How do you know you have find a real Vintage couture piece of art or just a fake copy? On first sight they look exactly the same, they feels the same and it seems too good to be true. It is quite difficult. These days fakes are on first sight as good as the real onces. There is a whole (black) market on luxury brands on couture, jewelry, toys, games and even make-up. Even Vintage and authentic goods are made with such an knowledge and technical materials; it seems almost impossible to recognize real Vintage these days. We talk about couture on this website/blog and specific the French Chanel Couture. More specific the famous jacket and skirt. It is too easy to say that fakes are mostly made of cheaper materials. The quality of the materials, fabrics in this case, are key. Even though fakes can look quite identical, the real couture of course has the luxury of using the best fabrics in the world. But.... the materials of the fakes are coming close; think about leather versus pu-leather. Even though they look the same, leather behaves differently in time and feels like leather should feel. read more  |
