Asymmetrical Ellis sweater from Fibre Mood

There is a new Fibre Mood * released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater . The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley.   Our girl picked out the fabric herself, at least the fireworks fabric. I picked out the matching fabric. The print works well with the large piece. The sweater is a bit roomy, that is because there is a size 6 and a size 8 and she doesn't fit in the size 6, but the size 8 is still a bit big on her. Well she can grow into it. At textielstad I bought a couple of multicolour threads . I felt this was the perfect project to try it out and indeed it matches the colours in the sweater very well. Fabric : Starburst French Terry from Second Star Fabric Pattern : Ellis sweater from Fibre Mood Sizing : 2 - 14 Options : just 1, the colour blocked sweater Difficulty : 1 out of 5 stars Sewing time : 1,5 hours # Fabric t...

Legends top 2.0 for myself

The Legends top by Stay + Stitch (previously known as Sew Straight and Gather), known for its beautiful neckline, has been updated with a new option of an A line bodice. I sewed the legends top for our girl three years ago. It has been on my sewing list to sew one for myself. So now I got the chance to sew two Legends 2.0 with the new option for myself (if you already own the legends pattern the new update (Legends 2.0) will be in your account).
The pattern is updated and now includes option A, the original fit, with a more fitted bodice and option B, an A line bodice. I sewed two tops during testing with option B. 
Also the construction of the neckline has changed. Previously the front was fully lined, now a facing pattern piece is used for the neckline. I love this, as I found the double layer a bit too warm for summer weather. 
First I sewed the red one, so I could match that with the pants I sewed recently. As this was sewed with a previous version of the pattern, the neckline is a bit higher in the red top. The neckline was lowered a bit for the final version of the pattern. After that I sewed the top with the flower fabric. They have a totally different feel don't you think?
Did you see the new charm that I have sewed on my top? I love them! I ordered them at AliExpress.
Besides the top there is also a knee and calf length dress included. You can even add pockets to the option B dress. In addition to the sleeve option, you can also sew a sleeveless top or dress. I really love that option as well. But after sewing all these tops the last months I was in need of t-shirts. If you don't own the pattern yet you can buy the pattern with a 30% discount until 11 July.
Fabric: Both fabrics come from de Stoffenstraat: Paint Swipes Leaves Tricot Roest & uni knit
Sizing: XXS - 6X
Options: 2 design options, 3 dress options, 2 dress options, sleeve or sleeveless.
Difficulty: advanced beginner
Sewing time: 2 hours

    Hallo, heel mooie t-shirts die u maakte. Ik ga dat patroon ook aankopen. Maar ik ben ook heel geïnteresseerd in uw gepersonaliseerde metalen ringetjes. Hebt u een link waar ik deze kan bestellen? Alvast bedankt.

      Ik zou het zeker proberen. Van proberen leer je het meest. Je kunt het altijd eerst in een goedkoop stofje maken. Mouwen inzetten is niet zo moeilijk hoor. De hals van dit patroon is het lastigste denk ik. Veel succes! Ik ben benieuwd naar jouw top!

Basically Jalie Blog Tour: Bella Fit and Flare dress

This week it is time for the Basically Jalie Blog tour and a giveaway! For this blog tour it is all about basics. Although a dress might not be a stereotype basic, it is for our eldest. She wears a dress every single day, or at least as often as possible. So I chose the Bella Fit and Flare dress (3460) from Jalie . Read until the end for more details about the giveaway! I love the silhouette of this dress and so does our girl. When she spins around it twirls perfectly. And did you see that lovely back? I finished the back differently. In the pattern they add elastic to finish off the neck. I was lazy and just added a neck binding that I serged to the dress. To accentuate the princess seams I added piping to the front seams. I used the same fabric that I used for the neck binding. Because we are still in winter season I also made a tank top to wear underneath the dress. I used the Raglan Tee, Racerback Tank and Tunics (3245)  from Jalie in the same fabric as the ...

Brianna Dress - DG Patterns Blog Tour

I have a soft spot for asymmetrical patterns. So when I saw the Brianna Dress by  DG Patterns * I instantly loved it.  Today I am part of the DG patterns blog tour. We are all showing one of the patterns by DG patterns. At the bottom of the post you can see who else is participating, a discount code by our sponsor  Southern Bell Fabrics  and the fabric giveaway. Enjoy! The Brianna Dress has two asymmetrical features, the dress itself has a asymmetrical shape and there is an asymmetrical neckline option. It also has a round and a V-shape neckline option, so there are three different necklines from which you can choose. I of course chose the asymmetrical neckline. Usually when I start with a pattern I cut my pattern pieces before I start reading the instructions, I know, not always the best approach. This time I browsed through the instructions and luckily I found out in time that you have to tape two pattern pieces together before cutting the fabric. O...

One Thimble 17: Big Day Out Jacket

I just love blog tours! It is so nice to see the different perspective of different sewers on the same projects. The One Thimble Magazine* is a great way to bet to know different designers in one magazine. For me this was my first time sewing something from One Thimble. Although I have sewed a pattern that was part of a previous version from One Thimble ( Orbis Sinny Harem Pants  by Sofilantjes in One Thimble 13 ).  In the newest One Thimble, issue 17 I sewed the Big Day Out Jacket by Ainslee Fox Boutique Patterns .  The Big Day Out Jacket is a denim jacket. My version looks like a denim jacket but actually I sewed the jacket from french terry and sweat fabrics with a denim look. With this jacket you can go all out! You can add embellishments, use different types of fabrics or different colours. It really is a garment you can go all out! I love the jacket! I have sewed an  Ainslee Fox Boutique pattern before when I sewed the wedding dress for...
