Okay, part two of my video series for beginners is out. Today we are sewing a basic skirt with half-elasticated back and patch pockets.

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.

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".

Brrrr, no, winter is absolutely not my time of year. Dark, wet and above all cold - no thanks! Accordingly, one freshly sewn, cozy and extra long cardigan after the other is going into my closet. I can't have enough of these.

Do you feel the same? Then I have a pattern for you here.

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.
