Candy and Helga

Last year around this time I sewed myself a pair of pants. I had so much fabric left over, that I could cut it out to sew a tunic like this one, this time with short puffy sleeves and a size tighter. And since then, the cut-outs have been lying around. The months passed and… Read More

Pink Moment of the Week

My yoga students continue to surprise and amaze me. Not only through their practice. Especially in my prenatal and mama- and baby yoga classes, where I see my students grow and change during quite a wonderful and intense time, I sometimes get lovely cards and presents. Like this week: A sewing book for yoga clothes… Read More

Suzani Skirt

Here it is, my first pattern design on a piece of clothing. My go-to-sewing-pattern-for-a-simple-skirt is Caprice by Mamu Design. I can wear it in summer, and with leggings for the rest of the year, I even wear it in yoga classes. I sewed a similar skirt last January (and wrote a similar-looking post about it)… Read More

I am off to some early Easter holidaying ☀️🌼☀️

It will not be quite as warm and tropical and bikini-weather like as for @juliadeniraco in @vavea_bikini (with a print of mine 🌴🌺👙)

Still - a lot of vitamin sea will be involved for sure 🌊 and I might be posting a bit here and there, but mostly I will go with the flow. Sea you!

Straight out of my sketchbook - ‘Doodle Jungle’ for French brand @lafianceeofficiel 

I love how they worded their brand story - it draws inspiration from its many travels across the globe and infuses it in its collections with their vibrant prints. They strive to share the principals of a joyful and constantly changing/travelling femininity in which feeling good and having a great time is of utmost importance. 

Travel, vibrancy, joy and femininity - I have one more print with them coming 🌴🌸💫

That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical art That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical artwork in wintery Northern Germany about this time three years ago, made it into a repeating pattern, licensed it to Swedish brand @brightswimwear in July last year, they launched it on swimwear as part of their ‘Hearts on Fire’ collection a month ago, and now it is already hitting the beaches of Hawaii, Florida and Australia. We have had quite a bit of snow here in Northern Germany recently 😉
