How to sew a Picnic Blanket

2/6/2022

 
Picture
The concept of a picnic blanket is often as follows: it is a nice thick blanket, you roll it up and take it with you on the back of the bike or you hang it under your backpack as a folded roll.

But this idea, originally from an old 1997 BURDA, is much better. And more chic! Fold this picnic blanket three times in length and twice in width and voila: it's a bag. How is that possible? It's quite simple: the bag is sewn to the picnic blanket! Country Chic!

A classy blouse of fabric leftovers

25/5/2022

 
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.

You can read tips & tricks in this blog:

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!

Picture
Everyday essentials is an English sewing pattern for a bag, two toiletry bags and two wallets by Noodlehead, Anna Graham.

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!

Vogue V1668: a beautiful Spring Chanel-Style jacket!

7/4/2022

 
Picture
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.
