A Chanel-style jacket may look simple at first glance, but there is a great deal of craftsmanship hidden inside it. From the characteristic bouclé fabric and quilted silk lining to the carefully finished edges, every detail has a purpose. In this blog, I take a closer look at the special fabrics, sewing techniques and tools that make these jackets so interesting for sewing enthusiasts.

For more inspiration and practical sewing tips, you can also visit the BERNINA Blog, where you will find many tutorials and ideas for sewing and quilting.

There are some styles that never really disappear. They may change a little with the seasons, but the feeling remains. A well-cut jacket, a beautiful piece of tartan, a waxed cotton coat, sturdy leather boots or a warm tweed waistcoat can look just as wonderful today as they did decades ago.
For me, that feeling has always been strongly connected with British style.

The boots bag is a very handy design for traveling with your bots or to store them in a beautiful way!

The English sewing patterns brand 'By Hand London' is on the market since 2012. The feminine casual style is eye-catching. The sewing patterns are made for all sizes, from S to 3 XL.

I love wearing linen in the summer—easy, matching pieces that are perfect for travel. Wrinkles? Not a problem if you choose darker fabrics or simple designs. That’s why I was drawn to Simplicity sewing pattern S9115. It’s wonderfully minimalist, making it both stylish and ideal for summer.
Want to whip it up before your vacation? Absolutely—if you’re a sewer with some experience. While there are plenty of photos, the pattern itself is straightforward and quick to assemble.

Sometimes you open a magazine and instantly know: I have to make this! That’s exactly what happened to me when I saw this beautiful linen apron in BERNINA Inspirations 02-26. Before I’d even closed the magazine, the project was already taking shape in my mind. And luckily, it didn’t stay just an idea—soon after, the linen was on the table, and I was ready to start.
At first glance, it might seem like just an apron, but looks can be deceiving. The subtle pleats give it an elegant, feminine touch, and the lovely embroidery adds a luxurious, chic flair. Almost too beautiful to wear just for cooking… though, of course, it would look just as stunning at a cozy barbecue, a baking afternoon, or simply because you can.
And the best part? This is the kind of project that can make someone incredibly happy. A handmade apron is personal, practical, and beautiful. I’d bet anyone who receives this as a gift will wear it with joy and pride!
