121-10 Coat “Mette”
121-11 Bag “Olivia”
The parka-look coat brings you dry from one place to another even in light rain. It cuts a good figure with trousers as well as with a skirt. Sporty details such as hood and drawstrings make the coat look frisky young.
The bag is a practical companion and not so difficult to sew. A band and a few buttonholes serve as a variable closure, which can be tightened to a greater or lesser extent depending on the capacity used or the occasion.

Allrounders YOU CAN PLAY AROUND WITH THESE TWO CUTS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. AS FOR THE SHIRT, WITH OR WITHOUT COLLAR, LONG SLEEVES, OR SHORT SLEEVES, AND WITH THE SKIRT, FULL-LENGTH OR VERY SHORT ... WHAT ARE YOUR PREFERENCES ?
121-14 T-shirt “Marielle” Almost basic but still oho ! The sewn-on lace ribbons turn the shirt into a trend model. Top fashionable is the stand-up collar and the new sleeve length. If this is too much for you, simply leave out the collar or shorten the sleeves to the desired length.
121-15 Skirt “Selina” Swinging skirts are simply perfect for hot days. The hip yoke forms a slender figure, and the skirt width embraces the legs. The skirt length can be varied wonderfully from maxi to mini. One cut for all eventualities !

Chic for Leisure
THE LAZY LOOK IS NO LONGER THE ORDER OF THE DAY, SO HERE ARE SOME FRESH IDEAS FOR ELEGANT SWEATSHIRTS THAT WILL MAKE YOU SHINE ON THE STREET.
121-30 Sweatshirt “Luna” Short and the hem gathered with a cord, this sweater looks best with skinny trousers. The noble look is achieved thanks to the metallic inserts.
121-31 Sweater “Mona” This sweatshirt stretches the figure due to the lengthwise sewn on decorative tape. The simple cut also means that it can be sewn very quickly.
121-32 Bag “Rocks” The sporty shopper is bound to be your new favourite ! The irregular surface indeed resembles rough rocks. The striped belt gives the bag a sporty touch.

We Celebrate The Spring! WE KNOW HOW TO PULL RABBITS OUT OF OUR HAT – WHAT ABOUT YOU ? SIMPLY TEMPT THEM WITH NAPKIN RABBITS OR CARROT NESTS. HERE ARE OUR IDEAS HOW TO CREATE A FRESH TABLE DECORATION FOR EASTER.
121-40 Napkins
121-42 Little bag “Bunny”
Linen napkins are always a good idea, also in respect of sustainability. The natural fibre creases elegantly and the simple embroidery in handdrawn style brings coolness to the table.
An alternative to the carrots is the little rabbit bag – here is enough space for a few little surprises – or just for decoration. 121-43 Cord basket
121-41 Little bag “Carotte” For once, do not fill the typical Easter nest, but the carrots ! And afterwards, they can be wonderfully reused for storing small items
Don’t plan the basket too precisely, you will be surprised by the shape of this creative project ! Just give it a try – the fun of sewing is guaranteed.

Handcrafted WHAT COULD BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN INDIVIDUAL THINGS IN YOUR OWN HOME ? AND TO BE HONEST, HOME-MADE ITEMS ARE BACK IN FASHION ! SO, LET’S GET TO THE MACHINES !
121-50 Quilt Different techniques are in the spotlight on this small quilt : the raised embroidery on the semicircle, the punched green area, and the chenille technique, which also stand out clearly from the ground. The self-made look is also the result of the seams that deliberately do not meet each other exactly – this is something that anyone can manage ! 121-51 Cushion cover Simple cushions fit into any cushion landscape and bring peace to wild gatherings. The lettering was sewn on with woollen thread and seems to be continued in the fringes – very decorative.
