Top, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin15 mei 20192 Reacties

Het is een simpel shirtje, maar ik ben helemaal in de wolken met mijn nieuwe Hey June Santa Fe top!

Mandy Boat Tee

Tweede Mandy Boat Tee basic longsleeve

Top, Budget, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin5 mei 20194 Reacties

Mijn plan om een jurkje van deze donkerrode viscosetricot te maken liep spaak, dus ik maakte er een nieuwe Mandy Boat Tee van.

My Image 17 trui 1863

Een blauwe col met stippeltjes uit My Image 17

Top, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin6 april 2019Laat een reactie achter

Toen ik deze coltrui in de My Image zag, wilde ik hem meteen maken! Ik koos een gebreide blauwe stof met zilveren stipjes uit m’n stash.

Gratis patroon t-shirt

Een niet-zo-basic Blanc t-shirt als tussendoortje

Top, Budget, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin11 maart 20192 Reacties

Het gratis Blanc patroon van Blank Slate Patterns is een basic t-shirt dat bestaat uit slechts twee delen. Ideaal om even tussendoor te maken!

Sew Over It Molly

Molly sweater en jurk van Sew Over It

Top, Jurk, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin5 februari 20194 Reacties

Deze twee varianten van het Molly-patroon van Sew Over It maakte ik al ruime tijd geleden. Maar omdat ik ze ook deze winter weer regelmatig uit de kast trek, wil ik ze toch nog even in de blog-spotlight zetten!

Gin & Tonic: gratis t-shirt patroon met zebraprint!

Top, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin28 januari 20192 Reacties

Over gekke printjes gesproken…! Ik maakte het gratis Gin & Tonic basic t-shirt van Our Lady of Leisure in een kek zebraprintje.

Kommatia Cannes Top

Tell me more, tell me more… de Kommatia Cannes top

Top, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin12 december 2018Laat een reactie achter

Als test voor het lijfje van mijn kerstjurk, maakte ik ‘even’ de Cannes-top van Kommatia Patterns. Ik ben helemaal verliefd op de off-shoulder halslijn en rugpand!

Mandy boat tee

Christmas is coming! Een rode Mandy Boat Tee

Top, Budget, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin26 november 2018Laat een reactie achter

Van een heerlijk zachte gebreide stof maakte ik een oversized sweater met het gratis Mandy Boat Tee patroon.

SHO Criss Cross Hoodie

Klaar voor de winter met de SHO! Criss cross hoodie

Top, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin21 oktober 2018Laat een reactie achter

Een capuchontrui met een (letterlijke) twist: de SHO! Criss Cross Hoodie heeft een uniek ontwerp én is ook nog eens lekker warm.

Adele Cardigan Konfetti Patterns

Een fijn basic vest: de Adele Cardigan + kortingscode!

Top, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin14 oktober 2018Laat een reactie achter

De Adele cardigan van Konfetti patterns is een superfijn vest. Bestel het patroon ook met een leuke korting!

Hugo Hoodie van Free Sewing

Make it Work: Freesewing Hugo Hoodie

Top, Budget, Mijn creatiesDoor Karin7 oktober 20188 Reacties

Wat doe je als een naaiproject niet zo uitpakt als verwacht? Tim Gunn’s “Make it work!” aanpak werkte heel goed voor de Freesewing Hugo Hoodie!

Het is alweer september! Mijn herfst-garderobe komt heel langzaam weer uit de kast, waaronder deze twee versies van de Flash-sweater van Kommatia.

Pretty happy to be taking photos outside again :) Pretty happy to be taking photos outside again :) After fiddling around with lots of lycra and new sewing patterns, I thought it was time for circle skirt number 100000! 

PATTERN A simple half circle skirt which is based on the @freesewing_org Sandy circle skirt.

FABRIC Not entirely sure what kind of fabric this is, maybe a mix of cotton and polyester? White and tiny pink flowers are usually too sweet for my liking but this time I couldn't resist this cute remant. I bought it some time ago at @vandervorstmodestoffen in Helmond.

MODIFICATIONS I added a pocket in the side seam (just one cause I'm lazy), and a blind zipper. Somehow my notes read that the skirt would be too tight and should only be used as a dress, but it turned out too large anyway... I was too lazy to unpick the whole waistband so now the back panels are less wide than the front, but I couldn't care less ;)

Top is the Nutmeg off shoulder top by @studiocalicot in fabric by @driessenstoffen and the skirt is a half circle skirt in some kind of synthetic fabric. It's the second skirt I ever made and still a favorite! Wearing a slip underneath is so far my best way to remedy clingy synthetic fabrics, let me know if you know anything better!

Happy May! As usual I'll be joining Me Made May ag Happy May! As usual I'll be joining Me Made May again, which I'll document in my stories (and highlights) this year. I didn't wear this outfit today but did post about it on my blog recently. I cut this project in December already but only finished it now because winter is not a good time to be sewing summer tops! 

FABRIC some kind of cotton mix from @driessenstoffen which I bought quite some years ago. I never knew what to do with the fabric so it stayed in my stash for a long time. I had a lot so I also made some aprons for my dad of it. Let's see how we match 😁 

PATTERN the Nutmeg off shoulder top by @studiocalicot It took me a long time to find an off shoulder pattern that I liked. Suitable for woven fabrics, no ruches/fringes and properly off-shoulder. But this is the perfect pattern! 

MODIFICATIONS I went rogue 🤪 and just cut the fabric without making a toile. Surprisingly it just fit perfectly and I only took in the sides a little bit but that was a personal preference. For the next one I'll make the sleeves a bit bigger/poofier though.

Now on the blog: the two bikinitops and one bottom Now on the blog: the two bikinitops and one bottom I made for our vacation to Curacao. 

FABRIC Rainforest Lycra from @budgetstoffen I only needed half a meter of fabric for all 3 items (and I have plenty left for more). Somehow I find it really hard to find lycra with nice prints here in the Netherlands but I love this one!

PATTERNS Natalie top and Ranger bottoms from @edgewaterave and the Grace top from @bikinidesignclub 

MODIFICATIONS none at all for the Natalie top, heightened the front of the Ranger bottoms because I didn't like the 'v' shape. For Grace I installed some rings and sliders for the straps and a bikini clasp at the back.

This is what I do when the neckline is too tight a This is what I do when the neckline is too tight and I can't be bothered to cut a bigger one. I guess I could've made it green but now it looks like it's a design feature and supposed to be this way 🤭 Label from @kylieandthemachine because when I tried the sweater on while wearing pyjama pants I realized it kind of looks like a pyjama top ;)

Back from holiday so also back to posting to Insta Back from holiday so also back to posting to Instagram! I made this 'spring sweater' a few weeks ago. 

FABRIC two types of French terry (lavender and mint green) from @budgetstoffen Easy to work with, soft and not too warm. 

PATTERN Amy by @pattydooblog which you can download for free if you sign up to their news letter. It's a pretty simple raglan longsleeve top. 

MODIFICATIONS Obviously I colorblocked it because I thought it was fun :D This pattern is pretty huge in size though so I used the smallest size available.

Here are a bunch of some details of my Sicily Slip Here are a bunch of some details of my Sicily Slip dress by @sewing.masin and the adaptations I made. 

1) The fabric was very sheer so I had to line it with black charmeuse 
2) This is how I lined the front with the cowl neck- if you need more explanation on how I lined it I'd be happy to provide it! 
3) The black bra straps and funky purple metallic sliders I got from mr. Ali in China. 
4) To make sure the lining wouldn't creep up while wearing it, I added this little chain of embroidery thread between the two layers. 
5) This ABSOLUTELY needed the label "Party dress" by @kylieandthemachine 
6) And the result again, I like pairing it with my stripey tights and heavy boots.

My birthday is coming up so I thought I'd get star My birthday is coming up so I thought I'd get started on my first dress from my collection of fancy fabrics. It came out as a pretty crazy psychedelic party dress. The metallic fabric looks kind of black from a distance, but up close it's blue/purple/pink. 

FABRIC I got this in the Parisian fabric district around the Sacre Coeur when we were there around Christmas time 2019. I got it in a shop with lots of wacky fabrics where they probably mostly had drag queens and figure skaters as clients ;) It's metallic, pretty stretchy and transparent so I had to line it with some black charmeuse. 

PATTERN It's the Sicily slip dress by @sewing.masin but then adapted for a stretch fabric. I think slip dresses are very cute and sexy and the waterfall neckline suits my wacky fabric so well! 

MODIFICATIONS a lot due to the fact my fabric was stretchy, so I took the smallest size and even took it in a few more cm. I shortened it too and instead of the fabric straps I used bra straps with sliders. I will soon make another post with some more details!

Feeling very Wednesday Addams-y in this top! This Feeling very Wednesday Addams-y in this top! This Fibre Mood Edith top totally changed my opinion about double gauze and ruffles though. The skinny jeans I'm wearing here are preloved from my friend's shop @garmentamsterdam which is sadly no longer there ☹️
More details today on my blog. 

FABRIC first time for me to work with double gauze (also known as muslin and hydrofiel in Dutch). I always associated it with just baby stuff so I ignored it completely but after this I realized that it's actually a lovely fabric and I shall definitely make some more (summery!) garments out of it. It's from @budgetstoffen .

PATTERN Edith by @fibremood , from magazine 18. She's whimsical with this huge ruffle and I love the button placket at the back. Not really visible on the pic but the buttons are bronze with a little art deco pattern on them. It's size 36 because 38 wasn't too flattering with the oversized fit. Finishing the ruffle took AGES! 

MODIFICATIONS I left off the collar and finished the neckline with satin biaistape instead. I also lengthened the sleeves a little because they seemed short on the model and shortened the bodice with 8 cm because that length fits better on me.

I did however finish this top for the upcoming Fibre Mood link party. Here's a little sneak peek of the magnificent back 🥰 Fabric is double gauze from @budgetstoffen and I'm in love with this fabric now!
