Summer Highlights
DRESSES BELONG TO SUMMER LIKE SAND BELONGS TO THE SEA. HARDLY ANY GARMENT IS SO STRAIGHTFORWARD TO WEAR WITHOUT MISSING OUT ON ITS EFFECT.
10
223-18 Dress “Lidya”
Romantic dresses are always in vogue with their timeless silhouettes. The airy cut and the subtle gathering support the dreamy look.
223-19 Dress “Klio”
The minimalist dress convinces with discreet charm and timeless elegance. The eyecatcher here is the refined neckline with a distinctive jewellery detail.
223-20 Handbag “Tara”
A little bag for all occasions – small, but very handy to have the essentials with you at all times. Moreover, it is sewn in no time at all, which might make you want to sew it in several colours straight away.
11
Statement Pink
HUES OF PINK IN ALL SHADES PROVIDE US WOMEN WITH POWER AND SELF-CONFIDENCE. A COMPLETE ENSEMBLE IN THESE COLOURS CREATES A REAL WOW EFFECT.
223-15 Top “Laurine”
The simple cut of this top is given a sophisticated look by two attached straps. However, if you prefer to do without this refinement, you will find the solution in the instructions and therefore you get a completely ordinary basic top.
223-16 Wrap skirt “Monique”
Long narrow skirts conjure up a slim figure. The asymmetrically cut wrap skirt is fastened with straps and a snap button, which is practical as well as comfortable – even after that extra scoop of ice cream.
223-17 Handbag “Crossy”
This handbag is really worth the effort! An ideal project to process remnants of leather or imitation leather. Simply mix your favourite colours and off you go.
FAVOURITE PIECES
AT HOME AND AT NIGHT WE PREFERABLY WEAR COMFORTABLE CLOTHES. WITH CASUAL CUTS AND A VERY PERSONAL CHOICE OF FABRIC, NEW FAVOURITE PIECES ARE QUICKLY CREATED.
223-25 T-shirt “Malin”
It may be a little more than just basic; with a discreet frill and small embroidery – the feel-good item is ready.

223-26 Shorts “Nia”
Perfect for warm days: cropped shorts with a playful rolled hem. To ensure that the hem is nice and soft and avoids scratching the skin, we have used puffed yarn.
223-27 Boxershorts “Henning”
Wearing these breezy shorts, men can relax during their leisure time. The drawstring in the waistband quickly regulates a comfortable fit.

223-45 Bag
The large pouch bag not only looks completely different from the bags you usually have, it can also be laid flat and can be used, for example, as a tablecloth or a seat for a picnic.
223-46 Utensil storage
Plants and herbs are bound to feel right at home in this decorative utensil storage. But it is also an ideal storage space for small items that are needed on the balcony and terrace during the summer.
223-47 Espadrilles
The summer classics, here in fresh attire and in the latest loafer design. The perfect shoe for the interim season.
Tip: A decorative pennant chain is quickly conjured up with the BERNINA Binder Attachment and a few fabric scraps.

AND THE LIVING IS EASY … BE IT IN THE GARDEN, ON THE BALCONY OR ON A CAMPING HOLIDAY, WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE ANYWHERE.
HAPPY KIDS
NOT ONLY THE LITTLE ONES RECEIVE A NEW SUMMER WARDROBE, THE DOLLS FROM ISSUE 01/2022 “BOY” AND “GIRL” ARE ALSO DELIGHTED WITH THE CUTE PARTNER LOOK.
223-30 Skirtall “Thea”
Dress-loving girls will be thrilled with the airy bib skirt. The “grow-along” pleat at the hem and the button offset at the strap, allow for long lasting wearing pleasure.
223-31 Dungarees “Theo”
Summery muslin fabric – there’s nothing more comfortable for romping around, no matter whether for boys or girls. The trouser legs include a pleat that can be easily undone after a growth spurt.
223-32 to 223-34 Doll clothes
Partner look? Yes, please! Decorative stitches can be used to decorate the little dolls’ dresses nicely. The T-shirt is quickly sewn from a jersey remnant. Why not make a few colour variations to change – and the summer evening adventure can begin.
