r S ui table for the Winte Puffy jackets are the blockbusters of the season and can be combined with both evening dress and cool jeans. In florid colours, the ultimate ­eye-catcher !

7210 Puffy jacket No, we haven’t plucked any geese ! Our jacket has been made suitable for the winter with volume fleece which will be at least as warm as real down.

Moreover, the jacket can be washed without any problems. The puffy volume fleece can be replaced by a thinner one, if this is wanted. But among fashion experts, the following rule applies : the puffier, the better ( and, of course, the warmer ).

7211 Saddle bag How cuddly and enormously light this must-have bag goes around. If you haven’t had any experiences with sewing leather, this simple bag might do the trick to get started. The easy pattern facilitates the ­beginning and many exciting details catch your and others’ attention.

Made with : Walking foot no. 50

C osy Fe eling Enter autumn with style and comfort. Wearing this complete outfit, you will be ready for the chilly days; you’ll hardly be able to wait to parade this great colour combination.

7218 Indoor jacket A nice project for those of you who like to achieve a perfect result quickly. This trendy oversize indoor jacket is sewn in no time and well worth being looked at due to the contrasting sides of the fabric.

7219 Trousers The classical style of the trousers is modified by the sewn-on adornment strap along the sides.

This season, slightly flared trousers finally celebrate their comeback with this subtle flair of the seventies.

7220 Rucksack Fake fur couldn’t be more in fashion than it is in this winter. The variety keeps expanding, their looks are more and more authentic, and they can be used practically everywhere. This rucksack is a combination of fake fur, imitation leather and embroidery – we are simply ­delighted ! You can find the embroidery file in the new BERNINA 590 !

7221 Earrings Precise cutting of such tiny elements and topstitching is hard to be worked out by hand – that’s why BERNINA offers its DesignWorks software and the CutWork tool ! And all the problems are solved.

Joye ux Noël Year after year, but every year a little different. A combination of lime and emerald green with white; that’s the way this year’s Christmas decoration comes in.

7250 “Fir tree” cushion cover Very simple to create, yet a great result ! The fir trees are appliquéd open-edged, and together with the Cording foot, an exciting mixture of styles is achieved.

7251 Table runner With the help of the BERNINA DesignWorks Software and the CutWork tool, any shapes can be cut out precisely.

To achieve the 3D effect, we have cut stars out from the felt runner and then we have sewn them crosswise at other positions with the Bartack program.

7252 Cutlery sleeves Having this cutlery sleeve next to the plate, you will give your Christmas meal a personal note. The festive decoration stitches are a wonderful supplement to the embroidery and can be beautifully combined as shown with our sample.

Time to Dre am Grey is boring? As if ! Accentuated in blue, creme and a pink blush, you can jazz up every grey zone.

The softness of these colour effects creates a ­charming feminine touch – the base of every modern oasis of tranquillity.

7235 Blanket The exotic elements of the embroidery motifs remind us of the Orient and invite us to dream of faraway places. The decoration with woollen yarn conveys a cosy atmosphere.

7236 Pillow cover You can create these fringes yourself. They are embroidered as relief embroidery on water-soluble stabiliser, and the soft colour changes of the woollen yarn put an emphasis on warm colour nuances.

That inspires soaring dreams !

7237 Plant cover The lettering is painted by the PaintWork tool on “SnapPap”. This is paper-like material that takes on a leathery quality after washing, making it virtually indestructible !

7238 Fur rug You can’t help feeling comfortable with cuddly textiles like this fur rug – no matter whether on the armchair, the sofa or in the bed. Well then? Sleep tight and have sweet dreams !

Tip : Depending on the purpose, the back of the rug can be finished with fabric or a nonslip underlay, if the good piece is intended for the floor.

ve rybody A C he er ful Mood for E Lively colours place the spring in your home.

Whether in the hall or on the table – a cool quote and a trendy interpretation of the “alpha male” are bound to make the beholder chuckle.

7245 “Deer” Picture We have had this deer painted by our ­BERNINA embroidery machine. That is quick and, believe me, the machine can do that all by itself ! Of course, you are free to “paint” the picture using thread by means of the BSR ( BERNINA Stitch Regulator ). The flowers have been embroidered separately and placed on the fabric with wire.

7246 “Love” Picture A philosophic quote that urges you to be in a good mood is emphasised by colourful flowers. The quote can also be embroidered if you don’t have the PaintWork tool on hand.

7247 Cushion covers Admittedly, it doesn’t have to be complicated all the time, does it? Beautiful prints with a hint of contrasting colour – that’s all you need to give the room a new fresh ­atmosphere. The special piping has been created with the Bulky overlock foot.
