Some patterns immediately catch my eye. Often they end up on the ever growing to-sew list. But sometimes they do not only catch my eye but also my heart. Those patterns end up on my sewing table within the blink of an eye. This was the case for the Seamwork Kimmy dress. It is the perfect dress for a hot summer, like we had this year.

Succesformule
Opnieuw maakte ik de gouden combi: een paneel van Lillestoff en een tot jurk verlengde Hibernis van Sofilantjes. Succes gegarandeerd!
Again I made one of my favourites: a Lillestoff panel print and the Hibernis pattern by Sofilantjes lengthened to a dress length. Guaranteed to be a success!

Colette Myrtle
Next to my closet that is filled to the rafters with fabric stands another... Invisible but packed with patterns, more then I could possibly make in a year... Many of them never used. MaMarieke, a dutch blogger, organised a sewing challenge to use your unused pdf patterns. She called out March Digital Pattern Month. That was just what I needed! So finally I set myself to making the Colette Myrtle dress. And after that I totally forgot to blog this dress in March... The challenge was to sew and not to blog, right?!

Perfecte imperfectie
Die ring maakte ik uiteraard niet zelf, daarvoor moet je bij het team van Nadine Kieft Jewelry zijn. Naaien op de millimeter nauwkeurig is al een uitdaging... Werken op de fractie van een millimeter, die gedachte alleen al, doet mij duizelen. Wel maakte ik de bijpassende outfit, heerlijk praktisch en zowel gekleed als casual tegelijk. Twee kledingstukken die ook goed te combineren zijn met andere items in mijn kast. Zou ik dan ooit per ongeluk toch een capsule wardrobe krijgen?
Love, love, love... nothing but love for this match. I immediately fell for the lushest softest rayon fabric by Atelier Brunette at Ansje Handmade. Then in my fabric stash I found a perfect matching fabric. While I was caressing these two fabric, the best match ever caught my eye..... My ring, that combines so beautifully with these fabrics... It has been on my hand only for a short while now. The symbol of the bond between me and my love. Not smooth or straight, but structured and organic, with a lively warm glitter. I got no love for perfect geometric patterns. But big love for perfect imperfections, like life and love itself....
Obviously I did not make the ring myself... you will have to turn to the team of Nadine Kieft Jewelry for that. Sewing neatly at a 1/8 inch is already hard enough, making jewelry at fractions of this is mindblowing to me.... However I did make this matching outfit, practical yet casual chic at the same time. Two items that go together with so many others in my wardrobe as well. Could I accidentally end up with a capsule wardrobe in the end?!
