Do you remember them, cassette-tapes? Ooooh how much fun did I have with them. My first real tape was by Michael Jackson (at the time when he was considered a genius and also maybe a bit eccentric and not fallen off his pedestal yet). But to be honest the empty cassette-tapes were most fun of course. I still recall making our own radio show with my best friend from school. And as I got older recording songs from the radio or copying other tapes. And as I got even older I remember staying up to late because a concert of one of my favourite band was broadcast. And you would have to physically push the button to record this. Of course preparing for holiday meant working hard on the perfect mixed tape. The tape you would listen to non stop. Getting into arguments with my brother in the back seat about who's turn on the car radio it was during the long drive to the south of France (without air-conditioning, obviously...)

Kolletje pop ...met toversokken!
Al jarenlang lezen wij onze dochters voor uit Kolletje. Fantastische boeken, helemaal in de belevingswereld van kleuters. Het gaat over een meisje die van haar tante gebreide toversokken krijgt. En die sokken doen het echt! Onze jongste dochter geniet nog volop van de verhalen. Wat is er nu leuker dan een eigen Kolletje pop om de avonturen na te spelen of nieuwe avonturen te verzinnen!? Dus maakte ik voor haar verjaardag een eigen Kolletje.... met toversokken natuurlijk!
For years we have been reading Kolletje books to our daughters. They are truly fantastic and really reflect on the daily life of young children in the age of 4-6. The books are about Kolletje, a girl who receives magical socks knitted by her aunt. And those socks really do work! Our youngest daughter still really enjoys the books. So I made her a Kolletje doll for her birthday. What could be more fun than to recreate Kolletjes' adventures or make up new ones?!

Challenge accepted - Brooke dress
The sewing community is overflown with all kinds of challenges recently. I really liked the challenge two dutch webshop owners (Stoffenfeest and MaMarieke) were organising. You would be challenged to sew by three criteria. Very exciting as you do not know what you were getting into .... I was matched with challenge buddy Linda of Relax'm Mode. She got to give me two criteria and the organisers added a third one. I was beyond excited on the day we all got to see what kinda trouble we got into.... Slightly nervous I opened the file with all the criteria.....

Velvet plissé
Dat dit de winter van velours is, dat schreef ik al eerder. Dus konden daar ook nog wel twee velours plissé rokjes bij. Een eenvoudig naaisel met groots resultaat. Het werd direct de basis van een hele outfit, want ik maakte er meteen nog een shirt en knuffelig vestje bij.
This the winter of velvet before. So I thought I'd just as well add two velvet pleated fabric skirts, right?! A simple project with great result. But what is a skirt without a matching top? Right... I simply had to sew a matching top and cuddly vest as well.
