Sewing, doggies etc
I LOVE Itch to stitch patterns, and the most loved of them all are the Liana stretch jeans. I have made several, you can use the search function to see them all. To me they are spot on like RTW jeans. I like my jeans with low rise, but after flirting with the Gingers I …
Oooooh my, double brushed poly <3 That is truly heaven! So soft and warm, I dream of a full wardrobe made of DBP – t-shirts, leggings, dresses! But in Denmark (where I live), you cannot buy it anywhere. Seriously, nowhere! So I am always searching for online shops in Europe that sell DPB, please let …
So, still working on my t-shirt production (I have to say, MUCH more fulfilling than working on fitting pants hahaa!). I like Jalie 2805 for a fitted long sleeved tee, and tried to make a few short sleeved yesterday. The fabric is viskose/ rayon that I love! Soft and nice drape. For the purple tee …
I really need t-shirts, I have 2. Seriously, TWO! So I should be bulk-making, which is why I made these 3 different t shirts today, to see which pattern I like best. Itch to stitch Lago tank (free pattern!), Papercut Ensis tee and my self drafted t-shirt pattern that is kind of crazy; it has …
Today I made the Orla dress from French Navy (free pattern! And a pretty awesome pattern actually!). I had my husband take some photos while we were walking the doggoes. Only 2 years ago we lived in central Copenhagen, it is crazy that we now live here in the countryside (good crazy that is). I …
Wow, it is REALLY hot in Denmark right now (30 C/ 86 F), and has been for the past month. It is unheard of in Denmark! Usually it is not very warm here, not even in the summertime, but this year have been a record breaker (I read yesterday that this is the warmest May …
Well, yes, even though I ranted about how much I hate the PDFs from Grainline yesterday, I made another pattern from them today.. Oh well, just goes to show that I really like their designs! This PDF was annoying as the others from Grainline (no layers, all sizes i black line), but I REALLY like …
So, today I made this woven tee, as I could use a “nicer” looking tee. I really don’t like Grainline patterns I have to admit; I find the finish is often not very professional, and the PDFs patterns themselves are not done very nice. BUT they often have modern designs/ shapes that I like, so …
I have made another pair of Tierras from Itch to Stitch. I love this pattern! SO easy to make, it takes a couple of hours and thats that! And they are very comfy! These have the original rise (I added 5 cm/ 2″ to the rise of the inka-Tierras), ans I have slimmed the back …
I have been sewing a few more Tierras, I really like this pattern! I shaved some of the leg width, and ended up making a straight size 8, making low butt adjustment and flat but adjustment (by making the pointy part a bit shorter)- they fit really well now, even though I could make a …
