Time for Dre sses An elegant dress whether in wraplook or airy and floaty with cap sleeves; the coming spring promises to be in the mood for variety in our wardrobe. Let’s go for the fabric!

7312 Dress with cap sleeves A floaty dress for the first warm and beautiful days of the year. Not only is the hem along the cap sleeves sewn quickly with the overlocker and a rolled hem, but it also ­provides a professional look. An especially fancy detail is the tie strap that decorates the back neckline.

7313 Wrap dress On the one hand, jersey is very comfortable to wear, and on the other hand, it clings wonderfully to your body. The subtle cut enhances the feminine figure. The perfect highlight of the gathering with the fabric blend and rivets accentuates the waistline perfectly.

Pe rf ec tly Wrapped The most beautiful feeling of spring?

When after the cold winter months a warm breeze embraces our legs – then it’s the right time to wear dresses and skirts!

7318 Skirt Midi is the trendy length of the season.

Therefore, the version of this skirt in wrap-look made of imitation suede is simply perfect for the first days in spring, which might still be a bit chilly.

The pattern can do completely without any closure, and sewing will be quick as it won’t be necessary to finish the seams.

7319 Bag All that glitters is not gold, or is it?

This bag is sewn of metallic shimmery craft paper. This typical leathery ­character is obtained after sewing by simply kneading the material.

Don’t worry; the craft paper puts up with a lot. A home-made designer piece for which you will be envied.

Made with – Edgestitch foot 10 – Walking foot 50 or Dual Feed

S port y For those of you who sew these stylish sports outfits on their own, it is much easier to bring themselves to get going – even the most dedicated couch potato won’t be able to resist.

7320 Sports jacket Black and white always match; combined with a pinch of your favourite colour and here you go in the best of moods. Casually and at ease the first lap can be mastered.

7321 Leggings The appliquéd mesh parts are a true eye-catcher, and the way the waistband is sewn provides for a slender shape. Put your trainers on and off you go.

7322 Racer back top Athletically chic and functional at the same time.

The anti-slip band will keep everything in place.

You will find tips on how to work with stretch materials in the instructions section.

S pring Awakening Eggs, flowers and bunnies – what would Easter be without the typical symbols of this holiday?

We have put together a package for you with fresh ideas for a marvellous Easter brunch.

7335 Easter bags These distinctly designed Easter bags made of SnapPap will certainly make a change from the common Easter nests. Decorated with sewn-on embroidery, not only is the look individual, but they are also flexible when it comes to the filling.

7336 Felt basket Who is hiding here? The basket with the funny ears will not only please children’s hearts. It offers enough space for multi-coloured Easter eggs or delicious bread rolls. A small project for all those who are in a hurry.

7337 Kitchen towel A floral border embroidery in the accent colours mint and orange sounds the bell for the spring.

The piping in orange along the sides can be sewn with precision using the Pintuck foot.

a No Drama wit h the L lam … and the trend animal of 2019 is the llama.

The unicorn has been replaced and can get some rest. The llama has thick fur and doesn’t even dread the cactus; so that’s why we find ­ourselves being stricken with the llama fever.

7345 Shopping bag Colourfully decorated, the llama looks as though it were on its way through the Andes Mountains in South America. The richly ­ornamented shopping bag gains special ­attention because of the small ­embroidered mirror plates.

7346 Vanity bag Is it allowed to wake up sleeping llamas?

No probllama! For it is the guardian of all these small things you keep looking for in your bag.

A place for everything and everything in its place in this vanity bag.
