Skirts

It has been a while since i wrote something on my blog. I have been very busy lately. The last thing i made is a skirt. I made two of the same skirts one for me and one for my friend.
I used a pattern from the Burda. The fabric looks like leather but it isn't. It is coated coton.

 

If you start sewing for the first time it's a great idea to start with the skirts i made. It's very simple, only the zipper is a little bit difficult.

Peplum top

Finally my peplum top from the burda 8/2012 is finished. I bought the fabric at the fabric market i have told you about in my last report. I was immediatley in love with the colour. I love the shape of the peplum, it  looks very chic.The zipper makes the look complete. I think I am going to wear this very often. Next week I have a birthday of my mom, I think it is a great occasion to wear it.

Thank you for reading. Let me know what you think of my peplum top!

Sweater and fabric market

Today i went to a Fabric market in the hague it's called stoffen spektakel. They had lots of lovely fabrics.  I was overwhelmed because  they had so much choice in fabrics and the price was also good. In the end I bought nine different  fabrics in lovely colours. So I have enough fabrics for the next couple of months.

Selfmade Sweater

To the fabric market I wore my selfmade sweater. The pattern is from Burda 1/2013. I have shortend the length of the sweater, because it was very long. For the neckline and the end of the sleeves I used the inside of the Fabric, it gives it a more modern look.

Burda step by step

Today I saw a awesome magazine in the store. It's called Burda step by step. In the magazine they explain all basic information from A to Z. What do you need? How to read a description? All about fabrics and haberdashery? How to take your measurements? etc.
The lay-out of the magazine is beautiful. They explain everything clearly, so that you can become a seamstress

The magazine is a recommendation if you want to learn sewing. I live in Holland so i don't know if they sell it in every country,  but you can have a look.

Nominette

I ordered labels at the website www.nominette.com , you can design the labels yourself!
And the service is great! Within a few days the labels were already deliverd. It completes the selfmade clothes.

Shorts

 

 

I found the pattern of this shorts in the burda 2/2013.
I love, love, love the fabric of the shorts. It looks like leather but it's not, it's coated fabric, so it's very wearable.

 

This was the first time that I sewed a zipper in my clothes. It was very difficult, so I asked my mother for help. On youtube I found a movie were they  explain clearly how to sew a zipper in clothes. Check it out!

 

 

I've shortend the waist so it fits well. Thats the great thing of making your own clothes, you can totally customize it to your own size. At van Domburg Textiles I bought new spring fabrics! So I keep on sewing!

After my Chanel look-a-like jacket, I have started to make a dress. The pattern is from Burda 2/2013 Model 128. In the burda they mentioned that the dress was easy to make. But in the beginning it was a little bit difficult because of the volant at the front and the wrinkled sleeves. Luckily I have a mother who can sew well and could help me with this.
