Commission your One-cup warmer

24/8/2026

 I really like the little things that make everyday life more pleasant! That is exactly how our one-cup warmers at Handmade Luxury Home came to be. They are made to fit over one cup, mug or glass, keeping your coffee, tea or matcha warmer for longer. And, as I discovered, they are useful for much more than that.

How to Find Free Sewing Patterns  Practical and Reliable Sources

21/1/2026

 
Picture
Anyone who believes sewing has to be an expensive hobby is doing themselves a disservice. For generations, people have made clothing using what was available to them: leftover fabrics, shared knowledge, and patterns passed from hand to hand. In that same spirit, there are still today a surprising number of ways to find free sewing patterns — without compromising on quality or style.

Vintage Chanel-Style sewing patterns, where to find them

14/1/2026

 
Picture
My heart skips a beat when I stumble upon an old sewing pattern—especially for a classic Chanel jacket. There’s something beautiful about those yellowed sheets of paper, sometimes marked with pencil notes from a previous owner, as if they’re whispering, “Bring me back to life.” I adore vintage sewing patterns, whether they’re from the ’50s, ’60s, or ’70s. They feel like little treasures, full of stories and craftsmanship. And yes, some are truly worth their weight in gold—but not always for the reasons you’d expect.

Jester Hats: Playful Heritage with a Theatrical Spirit

6/1/2026

 
Picture
Jester hats, also known as fool’s caps, are among the most recognizable and whimsical headpieces in history. Traditionally associated with court jesters of the Middle Ages, these hats were far more than mere decoration. They symbolized wit, freedom of speech, and the unique position of the jester: the only one allowed to speak truths disguised as humor.

Meet Adam & Eve: The Time-Traveling Mannequins (Who Never Leave My Studio!)

16/11/2025

 
Picture
Meet Adam & Eve—yes, those Adam and Eve, but with way less drama and way more style. (And no, they didn’t eat the apple—they’re just here to model my handmade costumes and vintage finds.)

Let’s be real: that photo is questionable, but so is life. These mannequins are my ride-or-die studio buddies. They’re patient (mostly), stubborn (always), and occasionally take a nosedive (gravity’s a harsh critic). But hey, a headless bust just doesn’t cut it—these two make outfits pop like a runway show in a thrift store.

And talk about eco-chic!
Adam and Eve are globetrotters without the carbon footprint. One day they’re posing in Paris, the next they’re time-traveling to the ‘70s—all from the comfort of my atelier. No jet lag, just pure versatility.

Oh, and before you ask: no, I’m not actually tiny. They’re just standing on a wheely pedestal because even mannequins deserve a little elevation. (Pun intended.)

The best DIY Chanel-Style bags

25/2/2024

 
Picture
On a news feed is a message about a Chanel copycat bag for sale at Primark. Everyone on TikTok is very excited. What seems? The bag is only 6 pounds and looks like a real Chanel bag from one of the latest collections. That is quite a price difference, because an average Chanel bag easily costs about 3000 euros and the classic 2.55 more than double.

Or....  just make them yourself. An unique bag that just happens to look like a Chanel bag. A Chanel-Style bag! And the good news: two sewing patterns for free, the others for just a little bit of money!
