The New Two-Piece THE GOLDEN RULE FOR THE CASUAL TWO-PIECE IS : UPPER AND LOWER PART MUST REALLY BELONG TOGETHER. THIS MEANS THAT THEY SHOULD BE SEWN FROM THE SAME MATERIAL, OTHERWISE THE SMART LOOK SIMPLY DOES NOT APPEAR RIGHT. AS BASICS, BLAZERS AND TROUSERS CAN ALSO BE COMBINED WITH OTHER ITEMS FROM THE WARDROBE.

320-25 Blazer “Cora” The double-breasted blazer is a classic that is now exceedingly popular in a new version. You are welcome to use colours other than black, striking, strong colours, but prints are also allowed. By the way, there is no need to wear a classic shirt or blouse for a casual look; simply combine it with a white T-shirt, for example. The casually cut blazer can and should actually be worn open.
320-26 Pleat-front trousers “Claire” They are the unisex classic par excellence because they guarantee men and women a confident and slim appearance – due to the optical stretching through length and pleat. Oh yes, and they're also comfortable !

Striking PURE COLOURS IN COMBINATION WITH BLACK RADIATE ELEGANCE. SPORTINGLY COMBINED, FOR EXAMPLE WITH ARM GAUNTLETS, THE LONG DRESS IS PERFECTLY SUITABLE FOR EVERYDAY USE. HIGHLIGHTS THAT IMMEDIATELY STRIKE THE EYE !
320-20 Dress “Nora” The wearing comfort of the jersey dress is captivating. The piping in contrasting colour and the long slit make the dress something special.
320-21 Gauntlets “Vero” This fashionable accessory is wonderfully warm and is quickly sewn. Slipping up is prevented by the practical thumb hole.
320-22 Handbag “Isy” The handbag is made of metallic imitation leather. Both the material and the extraordinary cut speak for themselves.

320-40 Gift wrappers No idea for wrapping yet ? With a little wrapping paper or newspaper, the sewing machine quickly creates an original wrapper for all kinds of small gifts. Almost too good to rip them open ! 320-42 Hand warmer “Heart” An ideal gift for all women who often have cold hands – giving with and from the heart ! Due to the natural filling it is environmentally friendly and can be heated up again and again in the microwave. 320-43 Hot water bottle cover A gift for all little ones and the young at heart, beastly good for cuddling ! The cover can be conjured up from all kinds of fabric remnants even at the last minute. 320-44 Bookmark “Heart” The simple bookmarks made of different cork variations are sewn especially fast yet look very elegant. A beautiful gift also for men ! You will find the corresponding embroidery files at : www.bernina.com/downloads-inspiration-3-20

320-41 Little bag
320-45 Bookmark “Elastic”
Of course, this packaging serves the actual purpose, but it is certainly also suitable for storing decorative jewellery or cosmetics.
No matter whether you want to fetch the stars from the sky for the receiver, give away your heart or happiness, it's so easy with these unique bookmarks. Leather remnants, plain coloured elastic band and the embroidery machine were used to create them.

Upcycling – Turning Old into New! OLD TEXTILES ARE RARELY A CASE FOR THE DUSTBIN. WITH UPCYCLING THEY CAN BE WONDERFULLY REUSED, AND UNNECESSARY WASTE IS AVOIDED. HERE COMES AN INSPIRATION HOW JEANS AND SCARVES BECOME USEFUL THINGS.
320-46 Curtain Be it at the window or as a room divider, this curtain made of different scarves is simply self-made and looks very fancy as well. One of a kind it is anyway ! 320-47 Utensil storage Not only practical, but also decorative is the jeans utensil storage for safekeeping all kinds of things. It is great fun to combine the most different hip pockets and to decorate them with rivets. We can hardly wait to fill them ! 320-48 Placemat For a pair of jeans that no longer fits or is already quite worn-out there is no reason to say goodbye to this fashion classic made of robust denim. With a little creativity the old jeans are given new life by transforming them into a placemat in no time at all.
