Ganz neu im Blog gibt es diese kostenlose Strickanleitung für ein kleines Krönchen - als Motiv für ein nachhaltiges Abschminkpad oder auch für einen Untersetzer. Es reicht schon ein kleiner Rest (ca. 10 Gramm) an Garn, z.B. Baumwolle, den hast Du bestimmt zuhause :-) Die Anleitung ist sehr einfach und bereits für Anfänger mit Grundkenntnissen (rechte und linke Maschen) geeignet.

A RVO is always a good choice, I think.
Hinode is for cool days, which can happen all year round.

For the RVO shown, you need about one 200 g cake made of 70% acrylic and 30% wool, with a yardage of 800 m / 200 g.

Meine Enkelin hat sich zum Geburtstag eine Girlande mit ihren Namens-Buchstaben gewünscht. Es sollte in Form von einzelnen Wimpeln sein, denn so eine hat ihre Schwester auch. Als ich mir die Girlande ihrer Schwester dann eingehend angesehen habe, gefielen mir die Buchstaben darauf nicht so recht. Also probierete ich andere Ideen aus.

Das Ergebnis teile ich nun in meinem ersten Blogartikel. Dort kannst du jeden Schritt nachverfolgen und deinen Kindern oder Enkeln damit auch eine Freude machen.

Das Beste: Du brauchst dafür nur ein paar kleine Stoffreste. Was du sonst noch brauchst und wie du ein schönes Ergebnis bekommst, erfährst du in meiner kostenlosen Nähanleitung.

Über diesen Link kommst du direkt hin.

I’ve now turned the small fabric scraps from my granddaughter’s birthday garland into a pretty party garland. It’s really easy and well within the reach of beginners.

Maybe you’d like to turn your own small fabric scraps into a pretty party garland, too.

I’ll show you how to do it in my new blog post.

Freut ihr euch auch schon auf die Erdbeerzeit? Ich bin im Moment ganz begeistert von den kleinen roten Früchten und so ist zu den gehäkelten Erdbeeren noch ein kleines Kissen mit den süßen roten Früchten dazu gekommen. 



Das Stickmotiv und wie ihr es zu einem Kissen näht, gibt es in meinem Blog für euch als Freebie.

In my sewing room, I made magical doll clothes for the baby doll of my little granddaughter. Since these were the first doll clothes I had sewn, I was really curious myself to see how they would turn out. At the end of this wonderful sewing project, I now have lots of pretty doll clothes and I’m really excited by how little fabric you need to sew such beautiful things. Sewing doll clothes can be addictive. If you’re interested in the topic of doll clothes, I’d be happy to invite you to my blog.

Because there were soooo many pretty things (9 different models), I divided the blog into 3 parts:

As you can see above on the doll jacket, I used KAM snaps as closures here. And since some of you are still wondering how exactly it worked with those little colorful things, I also made a separate blog post about that. That way we can all take a look whenever we need to ;-)

Attaching KAM snaps - Here’s how to do it quickly and easily!



Last but not least, I also recorded for you and for myself how to finish neck seams with a so-called “Streberstreifen” neck binding strip. The big advantage is that nothing bothers or rubs at the neck, and it also looks good. It’s really worth giving it a try.

I hope you enjoy all the blog posts.
Warm regards from Ina

Here comes a little butterfly fluttering by. If you love these fluttering, enchanting creatures as much as I do, you can now knit one in no time. The blog post explains in great detail, with row-by-row instructions, how you can recreate this little square. You can use a single square as a coaster or makeup remover pad; if you combine several squares, you can create entire blankets, pillowcases, or other wonderful things.





Click here for the blog post.

Have fun with it, and warm regards from Sonja

Here’s a new gift idea and an easy sewing pattern for a pillow with an envelope closure. My little granddaughter Juna wanted this for her 5th birthday. Maybe you’d like to sew a pillow like this too, or you’re looking for a pattern for a pillow.

Then stop by my blog. You might like it, and it could make someone really happy.

This moody smiley is waiting on the blog to be knitted :-) Depending on the mood, it’s either sad or happy. Here, the classic double-faced knitting technique is slightly modified so that both sides can be knitted differently. 



The finished smiley can be used as a coaster or a makeup remover pad. You could also incorporate the motif into all kinds of accessories using the knitting chart.

Sonja hopes you have fun recreating it!

Und noch eine kleine Doubleface Anleitung - in diesem Blog-Beitrag zeige ich Dir, wie Du ein "A" stricken kannst. Das kann natürlich ein netter Untersetzer oder Abschminkpad sein für jemanden, dessen Name mit einem "A" beginnt. Aber genau so kann die Vorlage auch als Einstrickmuster für verschiedenste Accessoires genutzt werden. 



Hier geht es zum Buchstaben "A".

Viel Spass beim Ausprobieren wünscht Dir Sonja

Bei diesem unbeständigen Wetter kommt ein wärmendes Dreieckstuch gerade recht.
Kosei besteht zwei rechts-links-Mustern, die anfängerfreundlich sind.
Das Tuch kann beidseitig getragen werden.

If you say “A,” you have to say “B” too... ;-) So here comes the B, knitted in double-face. Normally, the B would appear mirror-reversed on the back - in the blog I show you how to knit it so that the B is correctly readable on both sides. I’d be happy if you try it out and leave me a comment telling me how it went.

My daughter-in-law gave me the task of lengthening the sleeves on her favorite alpaca sweater. In a blog article, I showed and explained how I solved this task and everything I had to consider along the way.

With this, you can handle tasks like this wonderfully, too.
