Pencil Skirt with faux leather

How nice that it’s warm enough again for such photos. For ages I wanted to sew another skirt after the Pencil Skirt pattern. Yesterday it was finally sew and right away it jumped in front of the camera.

The red faux leather here has been in my fabric stash for at least 3 years and just waited for its use. I find it perfect for the skirt, sexy but very comfortable. The inside feels totally soft. Thanks to the fact that the side parts of the skirt are cut in the diagonal grainline, the skirt gets some elasticity and therefore also fits with every movement.

So a round of dancing was completely in it and if I should go to a party again, then the outfit is definitely at the top of my list here. I’ve sewn the crop top for it last summer and ended up to never put it on because it suddenly became autumn. Now all the better that it can finally be used 😀

For me this is a typical ‘festival outfit’, well okay, maybe I wouldn’t be walking around with these shoes on… But the styling had to be made to fit. So I did my favourite hairstyle again, I like the two slightly messy buns totally <3

My summer body isn’t quite in shape yet, even though I’m always told that a bikini body is formed in winter. So today the summer outfit had to be photographed in the ‘winter’ too. Because despite the warm temperatures it is actually still February. How’s it about you, do you already sew for spring/summer or are you still trapped in the snow and like it rather cuddly warm? Mama has already slightly twisted her eyes (yes I’ve seen it!) from my many naked skin in winter. But honestly, it wasn’t really cold!
The Pencil Skirt is now available over the weekend for half the price as #Patternoftheweek – so you can get it until Monday evening for just over 1$ 😉

Love, Carina

My Love Dress for valentine’s day

Every year it comes again, the day of roses, of lovers and lots of kitsch. Actually not something I like at all, but if I have a reason to sew a new dress… Yes then I like even such a day 😉 And how great that just today the new pattern ‘Love Dress’ goes online. The perfect pattern for the perfect Valentine’s Day dress.

Well, actually everything was supposed to be different. The dress had been planned since the middle of December. I had also ordered enough fabric to sew great partner outfits. But it all turned out different.. My supposed to be Mr. Right had other plans and dumped me at the beginning of January. So there was all the more fabric left for me. Or more so for my mom (she got a great X – dress) and my daughter (for her there was a Co-Z Dress Kids).

Well, the Valentin’s date thing didn’t work out then – but I’m taking my daughter to the cinema tonight. I find this a more than worthy replacement <3 Such a mummy – daughter evening is also simply worth gold.

Talking about Gold: The Squiggle here is also from the Winter-Gold Edition, I already showed you the same fabric in white a few weeks ago. I was sooo blown away by the fabric that I also had to order it in black. Again I decorated the stripes with countless hotfix stones to make it glitter even more. This time the stones are black, matching the basic color of the fabric.

The snow was a great contrast to the dress for the pictures, unfortunately it is long gone again. Not that I like snow itself, but on photos it just looks very pretty 😉 By the way, under the dotted tights I still wear some skin-coloured ones, so I was surprisingly warm! But the dress also fits the body very well, mainly because of the curved bust darts, which make the whole pattern so special.

To make sure that you can soon go out on the street in such a great dress too (or to the office or to a delicious dinner or to the next party…), you can buy the pattern now. This time it was really tested to the limit, 90 design examples were made during the testing! I would say that speaks for itself, wouldn’t it? 😉

Love, Carina

Posh Blouse Girls with dragonflies

Well, isn’t she adorable – my daughter? Sure, that’s what every mother says about her children 😉 From time to time my daughter gets some new clothes from me and then it’s time for a photo shoot. And because there was so much snow outside, we had to get out in spite of the cold!

This dragonfly fabric has been in my stash for a long time. Originally I planned it for a blouse for myself. But after I had him in my hands I knew the blouse would never been worn and only collect dust in my closet. And the fabric is way too nice for that! I still think it’s really pretty, only the colour doesn’t suit me. Lucky for the daughter, so she could claim it for herself 😉

Yes it was really cold, but that only hardens her immune system and of course she wasn’t forced or bribed – as a young ‘misses Sewera’ you do such things voluntarily <3 And she is really growing, slowly getting older even if I still find it much too early. She was just my little girl. Now she stands there like a model and I am totally happy about the new pretty photos. The fabric was ironed, by the way. With emphasis on ‘was’ 😉

I also really like the pattern very much, the pleats at the neckline look really nice, but not too much romantic. Simple but elegant is the motto here. And I hope that the child doesn’t grow anymore for a while now, so that she gets something out of it for as long as possible. She doesn’t even want to take off her Posh Blouse Girls anymore! I see that as a compliment.

From now on you can also get the pattern for this enchanting children’s blouse, because it appeared a few hours ago!

I wish you a lot of fun with it,
love, Carina

The little black Winter Dress

A woman can never have enough of the little black dresses. Whereby, actually at present I only have 2 pieces. Today’s winter dress is by no means new, strictly speaking it was created exactly one year ago. But today I was on the way with my mum to take pictures of something still very secret (shhhhht, will be revealed soon!) and I needed a complete outfit, so I took this dress again.

Since the Winter Dress is now available as #PatternoftheWeek at half price, it was just a great opportunity to take some new photos of it. It’s one of my absolute favorite dresses anyway, so I might as well show it a little bit more often 😉

As you can see here, I didn’t just discover the Hotfix stones and sequins for myself, but started a while ago. The heart here on the dress is combined, first I pre-stitched the heart shape, then I defined it with straight lines. Only then I added all the little stones and sequins.

The thing about posing… I often hear from friends that I always look so great on photos. Now MY opinion is rather different. Usually I have no idea how I should put the legs (see first photo – oh so very elegant *cough*), what I should do with my arms and where and how to look, I do not even begin. In the end I often like such pictures, which are more likely to be regarded as *Outtakes*. But they are more natural – just me 😉

Now I have to get back to work on what I just threw over Mama’s arm for the pictures. So that you can see it also quite soon <3

Love, Carina

Squiggle Winter Dress

It’s so unusually bright. No, unfortunately not outside. But my dress is. You could almost think I look innocent *smile*. Okay, I don’t think so. But I think it’s elegant. But maybe it’s more because of the golden stripes and less the white underground?

Since the winter edition of the Squiggles from Nipnaps has a slight ‘blingbling effect’ by nature, it inspired me to spice it up a bit. They are used far too seldom, my Hotfix stones. But here they just fit perfectly. The fabric was predestined to glitter a bit more. I didn’t count the stones, but it took me a while to fix them all.

You can’t see them from a distance, but when the light shines in the right angle, they reflect the light and it glitters and sparkles <3 The WOW effect comes out more and more the closer you get to my dress. I particularly like that when it looks simple, but there’s a lot behind it. And you only see that at second glance…

One of the reasons why I like the winter dress so much and sew it over and over again. From the front it looks simple and elegant, only from the back you can see the sexy deep back neckline. I don’t know exactly how many of the winter dresses I’ve sewn in the meantime, but there are some. And there will follow even more!

Maybe it can move into your wardrobe soon too? The Winter Dress restarts in the of the #PatternoftheWeek action and is thus reduced from today to Monday by 50%. If that’s not a reason to grab it now 😉

The fabric was a birthday present from my dear Mrs. Nipnaps <3 He feels really great, all cuddly and is also something good for the environment. It consists of 60% recycled fibres! I like to advertise for it, apart from the fact that I think the Squiggle is really great and I had to add more colors. Soon you will see even more, apart from the Co-Z Men which I already sewed in the yellow version in autumn. You see, the pattern really impressed me!

But now back to work, there are more patterns that would like to be finished and a lot of sample sewers waiting for a selection.

Love, Carina
