How kind Liesl!



Dear Liesl,
                   How very kind of you to design such a lovely range of patterns just for me .....
(or thats how it seems)?


I love these patterns!
They are so cute and fun and sew up really quickly!


I desperately needed new clothes,these gorgeous patterns could not have come at a better time!


My latest collaboration with Lisette is the Market Blouse and Dress. So groovy!


Market Blouse and Portfolio Pants






Market Dress





Fun,Isn't it?


















And these are in denim!
Imagine them in pretty material!


What are you making with Lisette?

    I love this dress on you...I love these patterns way more in reality, I mean on real people, than I ever did on the pattern envelopes. You should be a model for the next Lisette patterns!

    Thanks Liesl,I love these patterns and ditto ...... I cannot wait to see what you do next!

    Aren't you a sweetheart Millie? How funny,this bum wouldn't go any here near a size 6 sample pattern!
    The Flickr group is such a good way to see how the clothes fit different bodies.

    Oooh,what will you make first L M?
    I drove Postie nuts waiting for mine,and got him to open up again when they arrived because I got to town late!

    Thank you girls!

    You look fantastic in your new clothes. I LOVE the denim dress, it has the perfect amount of flirty detail and stylish simple design. And your pink shoes look amazing with the buttons on your dress. I hope you get to go out with your hubby and show off in it :-)

    I bought the patterns when they were on sale at Joann, and the portfolio tunic is on my list of things to make. But it's a long list!

    Dear Nicole, I've chosen this section for my Christmas dress - by the way, this action- http://cat-und-kascha-rote-tupfen.blogspot.com/2011/11/weihnachtskleid-sew-along-wer-macht-mit.html - would be (but also something for you, or ???). I am curious if I'll make such a great dress you like to sew. How is the average, normal? I can hardly wait for the postman to the section in the letter box plugged. Greetings from the cold, wet Saxony Ute

    Hi Ute,thanks for the link,that dress is gorgeous.

    This dress would make a lovely Christmas dress. It has a good ease around the middle but the shoulders can be a bit tight so check that.
    Good Luck
    xxxx Nicole
