DIY Sewing Projects
These are all my handmade DIY sewing projects. The projects are sewn using sewing patterns from McCall Pattern Company (Vogue Patterns, McCalls, Butterick, Kwik Sew, New Look, Simplicity), Burdastyle paper sewing patterns and indie sewing pattern companies (Sew Different, Colette, Grainline Studio, Style Arc, Lekala Patterns, Sewaholic Patterns, Dp Studio Fashion, Tilly and the Buttons).
I also favour sewing with sewing pattern magazines like Burda Germany magazine, Knipmode, Ottobre Design, La Mia Boutique and Patrones.
