CITY SUITABLE CASUAL AND YET PERFECTLY DRESSED, THIS RUFFLED T-SHIRT AND THE LONG PALM SKIRT MAKE YOU LOOK WELL PREPARED FOR ALL OCCASIONS.
124-15 Gathered T-shirt “Romina” Depending on your personal preference, the shirt can be ruffled to a greater or lesser extent at the front. Rolled hems at the sleeve hems and the neckline are simple to work with and provide a decorative detail all in one.
124-16 Skirt “Paola” Palm leaves make you think of holidays, sea, sand, sun and being in a cheerful mood. Your urge to move is guaranteed not to be restricted by the long slit at the back. A simple skirt that can be mastered even just before the start of the holidays.
124-17 Handbag “Lina” The bag made of only 2 parts is sewn in no time at all. The gathering is created by the pulled-in elastic. And you don’t even have to sew the handle; it’s made from a thick cord.

Paradise
of Soft Tones
WHITE IS THE CLASSIC THAT GOES WITH PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. LILAC, THE DELICATE HUE, LOOKS FRESH AND DYNAMIC LIKE THE SEASON AND STANDS FOR NEW BEGINNINGS, CREATIVITY AND FANTASY.
124-20 Top “Lace” The free-standing embroidery on the sleeve facings turns the airy basic into a top with a wow effect. You will find the corresponding embroidery file at: www.bernina.com/downloads-inspiration-1-24
124-21 T-shirt “Ania” The all-purpose jersey shirt is a great basic piece. The combination of the square and V-neckline seems to be a minor detail here, but one that makes a big difference.

First Rays of Sun THE FIRST WARM DAYS TEMPT US TO GO OUTSIDE. BUT WHEN THE WIND STILL MAKES US SHIVER, THE PROPER OUTFIT IS NEEDED.
124-12 Jacket “Xenia” This jacket made of cuddly wide corduroy with stretch part is a real all-rounder and does not leave us standing in the cold. The simple cut ensures a successful outcome, and the Walking Foot facilitates the sewing process.
124-13 Jeans “Tilda” The first flowers are about to sprout, even on these ankle-length jeans. The slightly thicker woollen yarn covers the fabric in a threedimensional way. You will find the corresponding embroidery file at: www.bernina.com/downloads-inspiration-1-24

Harmonic Tranquillity BELIEVE IT OR NOT: DECORATIVE PROJECTS IN STRONG COLOURS CREATE A CALMING EFFECT IN THEIR COMPOSITIONS. THEY RADIATE A PLEASANT CALM AND TIDINESS.
124-40 Basket For all those of you who enjoy creative work with the Cording Foot, these handles are a great project. Who knows, maybe you will get inspired to other project ideas by them? 124-41 Picture What a nice opportunity to give small fabric scraps another chance. Patterned fabrics for these vases make the picture look different right away. We wonder what your version will look like.

Panda, Elephant & Co. ANIMALS PUT A SMILE ON THE FACES OF EVEN THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN. THEY LOVE THE PETS CORNER, YET WILD ANIMALS CAN’T BE TAMED JUST LIKE THAT – NO PROBLEM WITH OUR PROJECTS. EVEN THE FEROCIOUS SPECIES CAN BE CUDDLED THERE.
124-30 Jumpsuit The panda, also called a big panda or panda bear, is an adorable companion for the jumpsuit here. The appliqués have been embroidered, but they can also be made using the template on the pattern sheet. 124-31 Neckerchief Drooling is simply a part of babies’ lives. To protect the clothes, this practical neckerchief is the optimal answer. Depending on the need, the length can be adjusted by a second snap fastener. 123-32 Crackle cloth Sounds fascinate even the smallest ones, so the crackle cloth with the baby elephant is just the right thing.
