Okay, okay... ( Nederlandse versie ) this fabric may not fit this time of year, but the color certainly does! I am excited about it. The fabric is similar to tweed but then slightly lighter, I has been lying around for a while and I actually took it out of my stash to make a bag out of it (and I will definitely do that, for my next  BERNINA Blog ). It was on the cutting table at the same time as the polkadot fabric which I made into lovely summer top (check this blog) and that inspired me to the combination. The sturdiness of the fabric makes a nice silhouette. It keeps tight where it may be tight and is therefore slimming. In addition, no unevenness can be detected.

Racerback top                      Niets om aan te trekken                                                               ( Click here for English version ) Herken jij dit? Een hele verzameling (zelfgemaakte) kleding, maar nog steeds niets om te dragen. Nou, eigenlijk... niets om te dragen dat geschikt is .... of eerlijker dat ik wil dragen ;-).

Helemaal weg van dit t-shirt Godzijdank voor mijn hobby en de stoffenvoorraad die ik vorig jaar won. (Benieuwd naar die stoffenvoorraad? Check m'n Instagram ) Vorige week heb ik ...

Racerback top Nothing to wear tomorrow                                                                 (klik hier voor Nederlandse versie) Do you recognize this? Quite the collection of selfmade clothes, but stil nothing to wear. Well, I'll rephrase.....nothing to wear that's suitable....or more honestly that I want to wear. Tomorrow is field day at school and its suddenly tropical in the Netherlands. I wasn't quite ready for it. I was in the middle of making a linen/cotton spring blouse with bellbottom sleeves. Just have to put it aside on the UFO (UnFinished Objects) pile. LOVE this t-shirt Thank god for my hobby and the fabric stash I won last year. (Stash Photos on Instagram ) Last week I have sewn a t-shirt with a wonderful combination of fabrics and I am still totally in love with it. ( Tutorial o...
