Let's speak about the crotch curve

Have you ever created a pant pattern in my design tool and ended up with a super-short, slanted crotch curve?

You’re not alone—I’ve seen this happen quite a bit over the past few months. Let’s take a quick look at why this happens.

Let's bring back capes!

Capes are great, don't you think? Why do you see them so rarely?

Shirtwaist dress (almost) for #shirtwaistseptember2025

Well, this WOULD have been my contribution to #shirtwaistseptember2025 if a few things hadn't gone wrong beforehand. Now I'm too late, but I wanted to finish the dress anyway, even though it probably won't actually be worn until next year.

The dress is once again slightly vintage-inspired, with a large grown on collar and matching cuff detail on the short sleeves.

Cropped Cardigan

A short cardigan to go with the sports dress. I think the pattern goes perfectly with figure-hugging dresses with a swirling skirt, don't you think?

Workout dress

In September, I'm starting my first ZUMBA class. Of course, I need something to wear. And I haven't done anything with my sewing kits in a long time. So, here we have my sports dress. A jersey dress with a half circle skirt.

How to use a projector to cut out a sewing pattern

Over the past few years, I have cut out and glued together hundreds of printed pages. Perhaps even thousands. Over time, it became somewhat tedious, if you understand what I mean.

With the layout tool, you can arrange your pattern pieces on virtual fabric and determine how much fabric you need. In addition, the layout can be downloaded as a project folder file.

Pockets can never be big enough :)

The pockets in my raincoat pattern are so nice and big, I just had to make a dress version. :D

The pockets sit in the outer front skirt panel and are sewn in so securely.

A bathroomfriendly Jumpsuit

So, I asked myself: Can a jumpsuit also be suitable for the bathroom? Not everyone wants to undress completely every time, right? ;)

This is the result of my deliberations. The pants are only firmly attached to the top at the front, the back is simply wrapped and held in place with a belt. So you can use the bathroom without any problems.
