After last week’s post about my sister’s weddi

After last week’s post about my sister’s wedding dress, some of my friends here asked my about her headpiece with the red flowers that I made to match the dress. 🌹🌹🌹
Although it’s not “sewed”, it’s also “handmade”, so I decided to write a post on how I made this. You can read it on my blog now, and it's also available in English #lasercat #sewingblog #diy #headpiece #haarschmuck #haarblume #hochzeitsfrisur #weddingharistyles

My sister asked me to sew her a dress for her wedd

My sister asked me to sew her a dress for her wedding. At first I was sceptical, but when she told me, she didn't want a white dress and that she liked a vintage look with a petticoat, I couldn't resist...
And so this dress came to be 🪡😍
It was quite some work and it took me half a year from the pattern research, the fitting, the muslins, the choice of fabric and the sewing itself to a finished dress that fits perfectly. Pattern: Butterick5983
Fabric: lace and sateen, tulle for the petticoat bought at @sencinaehzentrum
Thanks a lot to the nice sales assistant at senci nähzentrum in Mannheim who helped me chose the perfect fabric ❤️ @mccallpatterncompany #butterick #vintagedress #reddresses💃 #redress #weddingdress #lasercat #sewingblog #sewing #nähen #dressmaking #schneidern

It has gotten freezing cold - Outside and Inside 🥶 But I'm happy anyway because now it's cold enough to wear my velvet dress again😁 I made this dress last year, the pattern is self-drafted from various gertie-pattern with my own sleeve-variation. If you are curious how drafted the pattern and how I altered it to fit for stretchy fabrics, visit my blog, there is a full sew-along post for this dress (link in bio) #lasercat #sewingblog #nähbloh #nähblogger #samtkleid #winterkleid #wickelkleid #velvetdress #winterdress

It might not be a perfect finished garment, but I love the way the tartan pattern looks with the ruffle 😁 That's why I wanted to share this detail of my unfinished sewing-fail. It might not have turned out perfect, but I have not given up making a tartan ruffle blouse yet. I'm just looking for a thinner fabric and experimenting with some of my fifties blouse patterns. Hopefully, I can soon show you my new blouse with the ruffle part in the front. 🪡 #sewing #lasercat #sewingblog #sewingfail #sewinglove #tartan #ruffle #blouse

Not every sketch turns out as a great design. Even I have #sewingfails from time to time, just like this blouse. Anyway I don't need to hide the fact, that not every sewing project I make turns out perfect. So I'm showing you my "tartan monster" today 🤣 It should have been a vintage-styled, cute little blouse with a ruffle in the front for the winter, but I chose a pattern that does neither fit by bodytype, nor the fabric and to make it even worse, I totally messed up when I picked the size. So it turned out way too big, with too long sleeves, a stiff ruffle in the front and no shape around shoulders and waist. Well... shit happens 😎😈
I did not finish the blouse, I put it away in my box of unfinished projects. Probably I will get it out again one day, when I get an idea of how to turn it into something better. #sewingblog #sewing #sewinfail #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #tartan #dressmaking #lasercat #sewingblogger #nähen #nähblog #nähfail

"Why do you sew" , I get asked sometimes, "Is that

"Why do you sew" , I get asked sometimes, "Is that really worth the time?"
And I answer: Sewing is so much more than just "spending time". I see my handmade clothes like artworks: They express an idea I had or what's going on in my head by the time I created them. My clothes are not perfect, but made with love and passion. Creating your own clothes gives you the chance to make your artworks "wearable". Whenever someone wears a Lasercat Dress, he/she wears a piece of me and that makes me really happy. That's also why I like to wear my handmade clothes everyday 😁
By the way - Sewing is also a great hobby to get away from the digital world for a while. Feeling fabrics under my fingers feels great, it feels "real" and I like the outcome of real wearable garments in the end. #sewingblog #lasercat #sewinglove #nähliebe #nähblog #nähen #selbermachen #diy #makersgonnamake

I think I might have missed that transition time between hot summer days and the cold and rainy beginning of fall. Suddenly the days became cool and rainy and it's time to plan my fall wardrobe.
This year I still love purple (no surprise, really 😁), but I totally fell in love with dark forest green 💚 Did you know that this color matches really good with purple? 💜 So I decided to sew some cozy everyday pieces in green for my fall/winter wardrobe.
By the way - This is a sketch, not a "To Do"-list. I totally want to sew something in that style, but I still have no idea where my creativity may take me during the next months. #lasercat #sewing #sewingblog #fashionsketches #fashiondesign #fallwardrobe #makersgonnamake #fallcolors #fallfashion

How long would you take to embroider 64 little bow

How long would you take to embroider 64 little bows on 2,5m of silk fabric? 🤓 If you really want to try it out, then here's my vintage pattern of the week! It's a fancy summer dress from a 1952's german sewing magazine (Beyer's Handarbeit und Wäsche), made from yellow silk and embroidered with a lot of bows. #lasercat #sewingblog #sewingblogger #nähblog #vintagepattern #sewingpattern #fifties #isewvintage

Even in sewing, there is always something new to learn! When I made this blouse, I learned how to crochet a little loop for a button with yarn! It's a technique that I saw often on the garmens my mother and grandmother made. I never tried this before and was surprised, how easy this is to make. It's a perfect technique when you decide to add a button on a piece that has already finished edges 😃 Read the full post on the blog of @berninanaehmaschinen #lasercat #sewingblog #sewingblogger #diy #nähen #selbernähen #sewing #sew #creative #memade #sewingproject #dressmaking #schneidern #bernina
