I got the DIY print screen bug too.
The idea of screen printing your own fabric it appealed to me so much. But working with the photo emulsion, a pitch black room, exposing it to light etc etc.
Nah. It’s too complicated.
So when i saw images on Instagram popping up with the hashtag #wearebobbinhood, all with the most amazing examples of print screened fabric, I was curious.
They were all made with the same kit from Bobbinhood. Lees verder “DIY print screen set”
If there’s a party, I want to join the party! (especially when it’s a sewing related party) (well, only if it’s sewing related. 😉 Yay i’m such a party animal…!)
The Triple Stitchers organized the Moneta party where everybody posts her Moneta dress on Instagram with the hashtag #monetaparty and we all can admire eachother creations and get to know more sewists on Instagram. I like that.
And because of their enthousiasm for the pattern, they made me curious for the Moneta dress.
(frankly, I saw it numerous times clicking through the Colette website but didn’t think it was something for me) (HA! Was i wrong) Lees verder “Finished: Frankenstein Moneta dress”
The second make of the SewMyStyle Sewalong!
This time it was the Saunio Cardigan of Named Clothing. It is my first try with the Named patterns, and to be honest I am a bit intimidated by the patterns. They are very hip and have a lot of constructive details, and I always consider them out of my league (read: comfort zone).
The same with the Saunio Cardigan: a short but boxy/ oversized cardigan. Very simple, and could be elegant with a thin, very long hipster girl who likes to play with her silhouet. Everything I am not 🙂
(#momcore of the non hipster kind is more me)
But I tried the Saunio Cardigan (a heck why not) and I was pleasantly surprised. It kinda suits me!
Woohoo!
It all started with a idea from a friend. She saw some really cool table tents on Pinterest. So I looked too. And made my bed. 🙂
Oh Pinterest. How I love you. And how I hate you! Because I will NEVER make a Table Tent as beautiful as those examples.
But I would never know about table tents if Pinterest didn’t excist.
So nevermind!

I got some not so subtle hints from Boudewijn: he reaaaally would love to have a sweater. And well, he had some reason for those hints, because some time ago (a year..!) I started enthousiastic with a really cool hack of the Billie Sweater of Zonen09.
I don’t know why I left it for so long. And I forgot how far I was with the hacking: I just needed to cut the fabric and sew the damn thing!
*woops*
Woohoo, my first make for SewMyStyle! The Toaster Sweater of Sewhouse7 was the first pattern to attack. And I made it the second day of January. So quick!
I planned a Sew-All-Day day with my friends Marianne and Freya. We sewed all day, ate a delicious lunch Freya made and had a blast!
I handstamped & cut the grey sweaterfabric (bought at de Stoffenloods) on New Years Eve. (my so glamorous rock&roll life.. 😉 )

Als je me een beetje volgt op Instagram, weet je dat ik al een tijdje aan het stuiteren ben.
Ik! Maak! Mijn! Eigen! Jas!
Het patroon is de Waverjacket van Papercut Patterns.
Ik viel op de mooie capuchon en het silhouet in de lange variant. Het feit dat het in de reviews als niet te moeilijk werd omschreven, hielp ook mee.
Diezelfde reviews schreven dat de maatvoering van Papercut Patterns best groot is, en dat het handig is om naar de maten van het kledingstuk te kijken.
Hierdoor maakte ik in plaats van een S, een XS.
