My second Archer button up!
My first one I haven’t even blogged about (made from purple plaid fabric gifted by my great aunt) but let’s do this one first. (because I just finished it!)

Finished: Rigel Bomber by Papercut Patterns
Oh yeah, a BOMBERJACKET!
For my birthday last year, my eldest daughter Ieke gifted me a mystery foxes fabric. I loved it but was a bit lost what to make from it.
It wasn’t too stretchy, but still a bit on the spandex side. I decided it would make a super nice bomber jacket.
There are a lot of bomber jacket patterns released, but I really wanted a jacket with pockets (because DUH POCKETS). And if there was a pattern from a designer I already knew, it would get bonus points.

Design your Wardrobe week 1
I needed some structure and vision in my sewing journey. And apparently there were more like me (nope, i’m not a special snowflake): Seamwork Magazine came to the rescue!
They designed an 4 week program to help you plan your wardrobe. You can enroll twice a year and I decided to enter this February. It’s free, but you have to be a Seamwork Member (active or paused membership, it doesn’t matter)
Every workday for 4 weeks you get an email with dispatches, food for thought & worksheets. And step by step you getting closer to designing your wardrobe. That is a lovely result eh? But there is work to do. A lot.
There is a Design Your Wardrobe Facebook group and it totally took over my timeline. I loved it (because it all are very positive posts & all abouw sewing, what’s not to love?) but when the course started and I couldn’t start immediately, I got a bit overwhelmed with all the input the other students were giving.

Long live the Instragram community! Through the Monetaparty I “met” Linda (@Listokap on Instagram).

Finished: Darling Ranges Shirtdress by Megan Nielsen Patterns
When you want to sew every free minute just to complete your current project, you know it’s a satisfying sew.
I made the Megan Nielsen Darling Ranges dress, version 3. And I never going to take it of again. Well, almost. 🙂

Finished: Frankenstein Moneta dress
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”
Finished: Hacked Billie sweater by Zonen09
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*
How to make your own stamps and stamp your fabric
Jeez, that’s a long title. But sums it up pretty well 🙂
This is superfun to do with your kid!
(or alone, because who need kids for fun stuff: I enjoyed it tremendously)
Your own drawings (designs!) on your t-shirts, dresses, table clothes, leggings, handkerchiefs, quilts, beddings, dishclothes, cardigans.. I think you get the picture.
