McCall's M8014 A classy blouse of fabric leftovers

12/8/2026

 
Picture
Would you like to make a classy blouse from fabric leftovers? That is possible! Usually the processing of remnants of fabric is reduced to patchwork and this rarely has a chic look. This is because the fabrics do not always match in terms of color or structure. Sewing a classy or classic blouse is a challenge and also a lot of fun. The blouse will be unique, completely your own taste and it gives a good feeling to be sustainable and environmentally conscious.

They make the clothes to wear themselves or for Cosplay and LARP events. But there are some common problems and we have tips to avoid them.

How to make hats & caps

12/4/2026

 
Picture
Gabrielle Chanel once started her career designing hats. Women were wearing ankle-length dresses and tight corsets and large, lavish hats. She drastically changed both the women's clothing and the hats. Women could look beautiful and elegant, according to her, without all those big dresses and hats. Her motto: women should be able to move, look classy, elegant with 'simple' designs.

Vogue V1563 The New Recycle Chic

12/2/2026

 
For the first time in the past and recent history of this website, something strange has occurred. An English-language blog has unexpectedly ended up on the Dutch-language blog page. Very odd. We've left it as is because a redirect requires less effort than deleting and rewriting the blog. And perhaps it might be fun for all English-speaking readers to take a peek at the Dutch blog.
Picture
But now quickly to the blog because Vogue V1563 is an exceptional sewing pattern. It's the 'New Recycle Chic,' and it's incredible what you can create from fabric remnants. This concept fits perfectly into these times. Moreover, the sewing pattern is ingeniously designed with numerous couture details. Hurry and take a look:

This image is genuine — at least, the hat is.
The mannequin’s face has been made a little more “human,” though not entirely so. Still, I felt it was a beautiful photograph to share, as it perfectly captures the glamour and presence of the hat.
In this blog, you will find more photographs, as well as the great secret: how this hat was made.

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.

Burda 2493 Historic dress Joséphine de Beauharnais Style

14/9/2025

 
Picture
Burda 2493 is a sewing pattern for a historical outfit reminiscent of the era of Joséphine Bonaparte, also known as Joséphine de Beauharnais. The pattern consists of a dress and a pinafore with a long invisible zipper at the back.

Joséphine de Beauharnais, Empress of France, was renowned for her elegant Empire style: a high waistline just below the bust, flowing lightweight fabrics, and a simple yet refined appearance that emphasized her natural grace. The Burda 2493 sewing pattern is a beautiful example of this, as it accurately reflects the characteristic Empire silhouette and the graceful simplicity of the period. It carries the same classical allure that made Joséphine an icon of style.

How to Sew a Classic Green Chanel-Style Jacket Yourself

10/8/2025

 
Picture
Sew a classic green Chanel-style jacket yourself. I say: do it! Green isn't exactly the color you'd associate with the Chanel style, but green boucle fabric is always beautiful. And versatile. It looks very classic and businesslike with black and white, but also very casual with jeans. Vogue V9250 is a sewing pattern for sewers with more sewing experience, "Advanced/Plus Difficile." The jacket is a loose-fitting jacket, lined, with princess seams, two-piece sleeves, and fringed edges.
