Going on a short city-trip or a holiday? We have made the perfect Weekend Bag for you. BERNINA blogs offered a nice sewing pattern: The Tom Weekend Bag. But we have created the Chanel-Style Weekend Bag.
The work-description is in the Dutch language, but there are plenty of pictures to help you through all the steps to create the bag. It is actually a very simple sewing pattern. And the result is great: the bag is big, very spacey and it makes traveling light. 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.
You can read tips & tricks in this blog: They're back, or they've always been there but rather untraceable. There were questions on the Internet where to buy Marfy sewing patterns and no one knew the answer. Anyway, they're back! You can order Marfy sewing patterns again, directly through the Marfy website.
The website does not mention anything about a return or a temporary offline. A new blog has been added, informative but limited. In any case, the famous catalogues, the sewing patterns and the 'Evergreen collections' are for sale again. And the website also has FREE downloads. Everyday essentials is an English sewing pattern for a bag, two toiletry bags and two wallets by Noodlehead, Anna Graham. It is a sewing pattern that is unlike any other: it is a beautiful magazine! But the result is very mundane and above all practical. A lovely bag and accessories that stand out because of their simplicity and yet a beautiful finish.
And as Anna says in the introduction: "I've always had a passion for making useful items", and they are! Occasion wear sounds a bit old fashioned, but it certainly isn't. Occasion jackets, pants, dresses and skirts are clothes which have a little bit more (luxury) appearance, making them suitable for festive occasions. Think of weddings, the holidays, birthdays, galas or dinners.
With Easter just around the corner, this jacket is ideal to make and wear. After all, Easter is often a bit unpredictable in terms of weather. It should be feeling like spring, nice and warm, but it can also be cold. A jacket, to wear over a dress or blouse, is a clever idea. After all, you can also take it off and hang it over your shoulders. Let this jacket also be special in terms of finish and lining... however you wear it: it will look timeless and classy.
