In a world dominated by fast fashion, there's a refreshing trend that's making waves: handmade clothing and accessories are back in style! This movement isn't just about looking good; it's about making conscious, sustainable choices. We're talking about items crafted with love and care, free from exploitation, and made with eco-friendly materials.

Traditionally, I try to post a blog on the BERNINA blog every year before the big summer vacation about something useful to take along on a trip or for an outdoor activity in the local area. Previous projects have included a roll-up picnic blanket, a sling bag for walking the dog, a rugged wax jacket bag, and handy weekend bags.
Now, it's time for a camera bag! A beautiful bag to safely and securely store a camera, and it's quite a sight to behold. Here is the complete photo tutorial. The text is in Dutch, but the photos should guide you through the process. And Google Translate can also lend a hand. Good luck!

Hey there, costume enthusiasts and creative souls!
I'm thrilled to share that I’ve opened a charming little shop on Etsy, ETSYMARGASTYLE, where I pour my heart and soul into crafting unique costumes, exquisite corsets, whimsical hats, elegant ruff collars, and epic LARP outfits. 🧵 My passion lies in the art of creation, and each piece is meticulously handcrafted to bring your fantasies to life.

However, I must admit, while I love creating, I'm not as adept at the business side of things. That’s where you come in! I’m seeking a passionate and savvy partner to join me on this magical journey. In exchange for my handmade items, I need your help to promote and elevate my shop.
If you have a flair for marketing, social media wizardry, or just a love for sharing beautiful creations with the world, let's collaborate! Together, we can make this shop shine and bring joy to costume lovers everywhere.
Ready to join forces and create something extraordinary?
Thank you for considering this adventure. I can't wait to hear from you!
Have any other ideas for collaboration with your shop? I'm in!

Are you  struggling to make a nice collar for a blouse or shirt? It happens to almost every seamstress. It takes years of sewing experience to make a perfect beautiful collar. Keep practicing!  It will work out some day...

But you can also opt for a different type of collar or blouse. New Look 6598 is a nice blouse with a different collar, namely a 'wing collar'. Not only does this look neat and clean, but it's also an easy collar to make!
