New Tailoring THE NEW SILHOUETTES PLAY WITH A WIDE NONCHALANCE. THE ONCE CLASSIC OFFICE LOOK GETS A CONTEMPORARY UPGRADE. THE FOCUS IS ON THE BLAZER, WHICH APPEARS AS AN IT-PIECE AND IS NOT ONLY COMBINED WITH TROUSERS OR SHORTS, BUT ALSO WITH A DRESS OR SKIRT.

120-13 Blazer “Pia” The lady’s blazer is slightly oversized, similar to menswear; the wrap-around look gives the whole outfit a more feminine and casual character.
120-14 Shorts “Anne” The slightly longer and wider cut Bermudas with pleats are part of the new look. In duet with the blazer, the leisure trousers are now even suitable for the office.

A Swinging Start into Spring HOW TO INSTANTLY GIVE YOUR LOOK MORE DRIVE ? SIMPLY WEAR CLOTHES OR ACCESSORIES WITH SWINGING FRINGES ! THEY MAKE EVERY OUTFIT LOOK FLUFFIER AND LIVELIER.
120-10 Coat “Sally” Velour is on everyone’s lips right now; the feminine suede imitation looks grown-up, and cool jeans looks as well as chic dresses shine in new splendour. Especially models in sand to brown shades belong to the new must-haves.
120-11 Top “Conny” T-shirts can be found in every wardrobe; they are comfortable but often very basic. Here we have sewn a fringe insert that doesn’t take the casualness of the top away but conjures up that certain something. A must for all fans of fringes.
120-12 Bag “Corina” The super soft bag made of suede leather in a pastel-coloured combination is an absolute eye-catcher. The material is so soft that the fringes swing sooo beautifully along with it !

BLACK is Back THE COLOUR BLACK IS CELEBRATING ITS FASHIONABLE COMEBACK. LUCKILY, THE ELEGANT AND CLASSIC COLOUR IS SUITABLE FOR EVERY OCCASION.

120-20 Dress “Jasmin” The loosely fitting dress with wing sleeves is perfect for the first beautiful spring days. And the generous floral embroidery in white is the attention getter par excellence.
120-21 Bag “Leni” This simple form is a classic masterpiece. The black cork with discreet gold finishing gives the bag a very special touch. The back of the cork allows processing without lining – perfect for all those who have not dared to sew a bag yet.

Hello Spring SPRING IS ON YOUR DOORSTEP; THE TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY RISING. IF YOU START DECORATING EARLY AND IN THE CHEERFUL MOOD OF SPRING, YOU CAN ENJOY IT FOR LONGER AND KEEP YOUR SPIRITS HIGH AT THE SAME TIME.

120-45 Picture “Hello Spring” What could be more beautiful than welcoming spring ? And who knows, maybe it can be lured earlier with this picture. Two large embroidery hoop fillings, and the picture is finished. How about a whole series with new pictures also for summer, autumn and winter ? 120-46 Table runner The same embroidery motif as in the picture has been given airier fillings here. Of course, it is also suitable for many other things, for example for this freshly coloured table runner or simply on a pair of jeans. 120-47 Serviette rings These birds can be seen here all year round. In the colours matching our spring decorations, they look good on every laid table. 120-48 Bird garland These funny birds are quickly homemade from polystyrene eggs. Supplemented with all sorts from the leftover box, this colourful garland is created with delight.

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS OF BEING CREATIVE WITH THE SEWING MACHINE. FOR EXAMPLE WITH FREE-MOTION EMBROIDERY, ALSO CALLED “SEWING PAINTING”. IF YOU COMBINE THIS WITH APPLIQUÉS OR 3D ELEMENTS, AN ART OBJECT IS CREATED THAT COULD APPEAR IN THE ONE OR THE OTHER GALLERY.
120-40 Picture “Zebra” A colourful zebra decorated with lush floral decoration à la Frida Kahlo is an eye-catcher on every wall. The blossoms are made of organza and the shimmering leaves are created from embroidery foil. Don’t you feel like getting started and being creative yourself ? 120-41 Picture “Stay wild” Here we actually have the motif painted by the machine via embroidery module. What else can be said besides: STAY WILD ! 120-42 Small bag “Elephant” It is great fun to combine appliqué with free-motion embroidery, because you can simply colour in the previously ironed-on parts. Let your creativity run wild !
