This is my entry for #shirtwaistseptember!

Just look at all these lovely dresses! #shirtwaistseptember on YouTube #shirtwaistseptember on Instagram

And what do you think of my Design? :)

Okay, honestly, I love this pattern. :D Skirts and dresses just suit me best, but sometimes a skirt just doesn't fit for #reasons. A skirt on the roller coaster - you can do it, but do you want to? ;) A case for coulottes!

Let's see, when did I announce my project "medieval outfit"? Oh, April! Well that took a while until I could show the first results. I have to admit that I kept putting the whole thing aside. The first part of my outfit is now finally finished, and I even sewed completely by hand. It's an amazingly relaxing evening activity after a day at the computer. At least I think so.

Historical sewing patterns are still something completely new to me. I try to be authentic, but with the best will I am not an expert. So if I misrepresent something here, please correct me. ;)

I'm working on some pretty complex patterns and kind of needed a break. So I thought: what is the simplest sewing pattern? Okay, I can think of several things. A skirt with an elastic waistband, for example. Ultimately, it became a blouse with kimono or bat sleeves. No closure, no dividing seams, no attached sleeves. The neckline is finished with a facing, but a bias tape is also possible, then you only have to cut out a single pattern piece.

Poppy is a nice cut for patterned fabrics, I think. You don't have to cut motifs apart.

Last year I fell in love with historical sewing videos on YouTube. The channels of Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner are particularly noteworthy. Even though I will probably never have such endless patience when sewing by hand, I would like to try something like this. It's definitely miles beyond my comfort zone, but I want to see how far I can get. What are the differences to modern styles? Maybe I can also learn something.

Bad weather, right? One storm chases the next. I need cozy clothes. For example a new hoodie. I don't really want to take off my new "Dandelion" hoodie anymore.

The year is coming to an end, and before we all retire on our well-deserved Christmas holiday, I have prepared a little present for you: the skirt pattern "Amana".

Here is the second pattern from my programme: Bluebell, a loose-fitting tunic blouse with wide sleeves and a buttoned front yoke, under which a box pleat opens. The yoke accommodates the bust dart, so the curve of the yoke changes depending on the size of the bust.

You are free to choose the length of the tunic, it can just as easily be sewn as a dress.
