The baby looks absolutely adorable in this little pinafore dress. It fits perfectly and still fits at 18 months. The little dress is worked from the bottom up. A heart pattern is knitted into the lower part. The buttonholes are worked into the ribbing so that the straps can be adjusted with several buttons. This little dress has already brought joy to many customers.

Sew yourself a unique handbag with roXXanne.

roXXanne comes in a total of 3 sizes, which you can buy individually or as a set of 3: From the handy cosmetic-bag-sized handbag to the everyday crossbody bag and the shopper, you can sew your roXXanne in the size you want.

roXXanne is an absolute eye-catcher thanks to the decorative lacing on the front. It closes with a zipper. Inside, you can sew in a zippered inner pocket and a key finder for more organization — but you don’t have to.

The bag is sewn from sturdy fabrics: You can make it from faux leather, canvas, denim, corduroy, cork, awning fabric, and many other fabrics.

As a denim upcycling bag, roXXanne looks rock-and-roll and rebellious; made from faux leather, it can even come along to a wedding.

Sewing level and variations

Sewing this bag requires some time for cutting out the pieces and concentration for the zippers. In the end, you’ll have an amazing bag that makes you proud and happy!

The ebook is for anyone who enjoys sewing bags or wants to take the next step in sewing. Theoretically, you can leave out the zipper closure and also use the center section with the lacing, for example to showcase embroidery there.

If you’ve already sewn bags, you’re sure to come up with something ;). I’m always hugely impressed by the beautiful photos I receive from customers! :D

I also have two recommendations for a slightly more challenging craft project. But if you follow my pattern very carefully, you'll see that it's not nearly as difficult as you thought. You'll be rewarded for your effort with unique results. No one else will have anything this beautiful. You'll get lots of admiring looks and praise for it.

I wish you lots of joy looking at them and making them yourself.
Warm regards from Ina

Ball gown with tulle underskirt
As you can see, the skirt has a special crochet pattern. Here you need to be able to work from a crochet chart. The tulle underskirt, which gives the dress its shape, is sewn under the dress using 15 cm-wide tulle ribbon from the roll. That requires a bit of patience and dexterity, because we sew it by hand. The little roses are sewn on at the end.





Baby bunting bag in 2 sizes
The special feature here is probably the entrelac pattern. If you knit it with gradient yarn, you get these beautiful color effects in the pattern. We're knitting a baby bunting bag. At the tummy there is a double ribbed cuff made of warm, soft merino wool. It fits well without constricting. The baby can kick to their heart's content in it without getting cold.

With this cute little gift box, the patterns, shapes, and colors are perfectly coordinated and go together beautifully!



The box is made of photo cardstock, is about 9.5 cm wide and about 14 cm tall (without the flower, it’s about 10 cm tall). With a little crafting experience, it’s quick and easy to make.

The paper pattern for decorating can be downloaded along with the pattern.

Cuddly toys made from plush yarn are simply wonderfully soft and perfect for snuggling. If you crochet a stuffed animal from this material, it’s sure to become a favorite! To make the stitches easier to see while crocheting, there are various tricks, such as using a carry-along yarn at the same time. You’ll find even more tips in the patterns.
As a beginner, this material may still be a bit challenging, and you might want to make the animal from cotton yarn first. But if you already have a bit more practice, you can also give plush yarn a try, because it’s definitely worth it!


Bully, the Elephant at the Beach
will be about 22 cm tall with the specified yarn. The swim ring, hat, and little boat are crocheted from cotton. And anyone who would like to crochet Bully from cotton as well will also get a cute cuddly toy. Here’s a comparison:




Purzel the Bunny 
is also crocheted from plush yarn; the pants, basket, and eggs are made from cotton yarn. With the little hearts on the pants, this bunny is suitable not only as an Easter gift, but also, for example, as a small token of appreciation for Valentine’s Day.


And finally.
Hobby Horse Unicorn Violetta: 
There are no hard or sharp edges here; with Violetta, everything is soft and cuddly, even the stick, which is made from a cut-to-size pool noodle. No one can get hurt, and furniture and dishes stay intact too. And if need be, Violetta can even come to bed for snuggling in the evening!

If you’re currently stocking up on gift packaging for Christmas, this one might be a great fit.



This unique box with a snowflake is made from cardstock and measures approximately 21 x 10.5 x 5 cm. With a little crafting experience, it’s easy to recreate.

Crocheting the Arielle triangular shawl isn’t exactly easy. But once you get the hang of it, the pattern works up quickly. You’ll have a lot of fun with this extraordinary triangular shawl.

In the mood for post double crochet and a little challenge? With the Leilani shawl, the relief patterns are different on each side, so you really have to pay close attention to avoid falling into the famous “relief rut” when crocheting.
