New video today! This time a am sewing a princessline dress with a tie collar. And a ton of buttons.

This duvet cover was so pretty! So I just took two: one for my bed and one for a dress.

Time for a new video! Today I show you a princessline dress with a lace up detail.

Details ins the video.

It is rare that I like a printed fabric, but this was love at first sight. :D

I made the fabric into a dress with a half circle skirt and a Peter Pan collar. More details in the video.

The buttons took some time, but it was totally worth it!

The dress is so swooshy, I can't stop twirkling. :D

This is a sewing pattern I've wanted to tackle for a long time. I've already sewn a few jackets and dresses with continuous dividing seams, but I still had to code this into my program.

I love the so-called Princessline patterns. Instead of sometimes hard darts, soft transitions are sewn and everything is somehow flowing and harmonious.

I call this my blanket dress. It is made from a thicker, dark-gray wool and so long an cuddly like a blanket!

Yes, I am one of these, I am always cold. :D

I might have chosen a higher fitting class, so that there is more ease. The bodice is a bit tight when I layer a sweater underneath. But you can change that if you want to sew one of these, too. ;)

I have lined the bodice, but the pattern includes facings for neck and armholes, too.

Today there are dresses. :)

The two airy linen dresses with short puffed sleeves have already been packed away for the winter and will be out in the fresh air again next year. But I also already have fabrics for warm winter dresses here. The new pattern kit will come in handy there.

Last year I fell in love with historical sewing videos on YouTube. The channels of Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner are particularly noteworthy. Even though I will probably never have such endless patience when sewing by hand, I would like to try something like this. It's definitely miles beyond my comfort zone, but I want to see how far I can get. What are the differences to modern styles? Maybe I can also learn something.
