Pictures, as promised.

It took a trip to the shoe-store (what a punishment!) to buy the shoes I knew would match perfectly with these outfits, and ignoring a headache that's been going on for three days now, but a promise is a promise. So, after making four peaces I have 4 outfits to show you.  The striped-pattern of the skirt is a bit of a blur. If you click on the pictures you get a better view:




























































I definitely see the advantages of sewing with a plan. And it doesn't have to end here. You can think of other pieces (already made/bought or still to be made/bought) that could be added to this mini-wardrobe. And that's so much fun.

The shoes were something I had set my mind on some time ago. When I was shopping in early spring I saw that there were a lot of blue shoes and it only took a second for me to decide that I wanted them too. Gorgeous! 
Here are some detail-pics:

What's not to like love, right?!

I did some fabric-shopping on the internet yesterday and in a moment I'll be off to buy some more in my favourite shop. (Nothing beats feeling and seeing the fabric in real life..).
If I don't have any sewing pictures in the nearby future than at least I can show you the fabric and tell you about my plans.

Wishing you all a great weekend!!

    It's so great that you've given us the chance to see how your wonderful new wardrobe peices all work together. All the garments are beautiful and they complement each other so well. I love your new shoes - perfectly chosen to go with your new outfits. The buckles are pretty - that's a really nice detail.

My preferred way of finishing necklines and armscyes on a knit shirt

Image
This week I'm enjoying my autumn break. A whole week to do some much needed sewing. The plan is to do some easy sewing. Nothing too complicated. Last friday I started on a cardigan for which I revisited the pattern I used  here  and   here . And my next make is already finished as well: a nightgown, made from a lovely cotton jersey which is a dream to work with! I already made one before with the same type of fabric (black with flowers) and it gets worn a lot. The fabric I used is bought with this nightgown in mind. I thought it would be fun to show you how I finished the neckline and armscyes. It's a very easy method and I prefer it over the method where you fold the band and sew it on, double layered. It's a thin line between stretching the band too much and causing puckers or not stretching it enough so it won't lay flat. For me it's hard to get that right. But with this foldover method it's actually easy-peasy.  Make sure when you cut your pattern you don...

Let's start 2011 with Top 3b from KnipMode 2008-08

Yoohooo...best wishes for 2011 everyone!!! I hope you all had a great time celebrating. I know I'm a bit late. But the fact is that I spent the last week in bed because of a flu that had me down in more than one way. Things seem to be looking up however and it was about time I showed my face. O, wait, that's another story. I'm not showing my face yet for I have an infection on my chin at the place where a mole has been removed 5 weeks ago. It was for pure cosmetical reasons and I can't seem to shut up that little voice in the back of my head saying: "Serves you right for being vaaaaain...!!". I have some cream for it since yesterday and next monday I'm gonna pay my physician another visit to have it checked. I was hoping for a recovery with an almost invisible scar. Now I'm just hoping for a recovery. Strange, how easy you adjust your expectations. Luckily I have a very pretty, headless model in my house. That's right, The Blue Lady. And she ...

My (re)view on KnipMode September 2015 - The Make-over

Image
Months ago it was announced : Knipmode was going to get a make-over. Main change was gonna be an adjustment in the range of sizes. Each pattern was going to be offered in sizes 34 to 54. And as it goes with everything that is announced far in advance, suddenly the day has come that you find the new magazine in your mailbox. In this post I would like to give my opinion on the changes that have been made. Feel free to disagree.  From: KnipMode Magazine - September 2015 The first thing you notice is the size of the magazine . I didn’t measure it but I think that it’s about an 1/2 inch larger in width and 1 inch in height. Does that matter? I think it does. Apart from more room for larger pictures, they used a larger font size for the descriptions, which is easy on the eyes. Next thing  is the cover . The previous covers were made of shiny paper. Now it’s matte, firmer and more solid. Nice! Altough I cherish my old issues of KM and Burda, more th...
