Vogue 1757, one of my favorite Chanel-style jackets. Too hot for summer? Perhaps, but perfect for those long evenings. Watch the tutorial on the Bernina blog, complete with pictures. It's in Dutch, but Google Translate will help. Good luck and happy holidays!
Butterick B6382 is a sewingpattern from Butterick. It is a sewing pattern for a lined jacket in four different variations. Especially models A, C and D are typical of the 'Chanel look'. The jacket is comfortable and easy to make.
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.
Let's forget about the leggings and sleeveless t-shirts! After all, they only look good on few people... A much better option for a long, hot summer is the caftan. The proof of this is the Mediterranean culture. They have known there for ages what is nice and cool in the summer: the wide caftan. But a caftan is more than just a baggy baggy dress. A caftan is always beautifully finished with embroidered edges, fringes and different shapes/lengths. The caftan is simply beautiful, classy and timeless.
And easy to make yourself! A sewing pattern for an easy-to-make dress, perfect for special occasions, photoshoots, and summer, is undoubtedly McCall's 7999.
