A dress on spring strike

Why does it take soooo long?

I feel like slowly awakening, I have no idea from what exactly, but the last weeks were tough with on and off sick family members and disturbed nights and working days to dream of. 

But then I spent the last 2 days in the studio and moved a big step forward. (Ah I almost forgot these 2 days also included the photo shooting - urban i can cu; wow, sometimes I am amazed what i can or cannot fit into one day.) 

The Proto type is finished (the 3 pics to the right), the pattern refined and the black Organic Hand stitched Dress (to the left) cut and pinned! 

I guess this fragmented working experience made it all take even longer and probably I am indirectly striking for warmer days too. But I also dedicated a lot of attention to the cut and pattern. I wanted the dress to be simple but feminine, cut to figure but also allow a natural change of waistline and keeping a good wearing comfort. (I still want to feel feminine and look good even if had some ice cream.)

The seams are at the back and at the front and give a nice eye-catcher. The lack of seams on the sides allow the dress to drape nicely around your sides. The dress remains rather short for now.

The plum/purple Organic Cotton Jersey Hand stitched tunic in comparison has a more flattering style and is much shorter ( . . and is on SALE too at the moment), if you want to take a look in my shop.

So spring, where are you?

Home for your feet


Home for your feet - purple/plum organic and handstitched - cool and warm

This Organic Cotton Jersey is without any exaggeration the nicest colour and fabric I have seen so far. It is an Interlock Jersey/double knit which looks on both sides the same. It is a bit stronger than T-Shirt material but incredible soft. And now the best: the colour! Plum-purple. . . it looks in every light different, it is not really a colour it is real!!!!

Purple Yoga socks in Organic Cotton Jersey with red contrasting seams.
I made these Hand stitched Yoga socks to keep your feet warm while walking barefoot or doing Yoga. The colour is rich and energetic. They are so light and comfy that you might forget to take them off.
