This pattern is so easy that it makes a perfect addition to my sewing for beginners series!

As always: simple tools, simple techniques, no serger!

It was high time for me to make an instruction video for this pattern. :)

Summer doesn't really want to get going yet. I can now add a little extra warmth to my latest summer dress with a bolero. The remaining fabric was just enough for that.

Here we are, this is the last video in my series for sewing beginners. In this video, I show you how to sew in zips.

Time for T-Shirts! I would say, jersey is for the advanced beginners. What do you think?

For todays episode of my sewing for beginners video I am revisiting an older pattern of mine, the blouse poppy. But I did make a second version for this blouse, since I was always unhappy with the lack of a bust dart. Bust darts improve the fit for larger busts so much!

So in this video, you will learn ho to sew bust darts and facings.

More in the video.

This is already part three of my series! Today I show you how to sew an easy pair of pants with en elasticated waistband and patch pocket. This is kind of the sister of my skirt video two weeks ago.

In the coming weeks I'm planning a small series of videos aimed at beginners. The first video deals with general basic sewing and pattern knowledge and we sew a reversible bag - a new edition of one of my first patterns from 2011! 

I hope the video explains everything you need. Otherwise just let me know!

I sat down and create a video instruction on how to take all the measurements that are available on my website right now. I case you wondered: Where the heck whould I measure that?

So there are no more excuses, create a pattern in your own size now! ;) 

I didn't plan for a hood, but I had some fabric leftover that was just the right size for a detachable hood.
