PREFACE

A NEW YEAR – NEW FORTUNE

Very soon, the sun will shine longer from the sky again, and it will slowly get warmer.

Just the right time to start thinking about what the new spring fashion has to offer

and what could perfectly complement your own wardrobe.

Are you in a sporty mood, or would you prefer something more ladylike ? No problem,

you will find both options here.

What about a thoughtful gift for children at pre-school age ? Regardless of whether

it’s a boy or a girl, everyone will find their favourite multi-culti doll and also a shirt,

trousers, and a cute little dress to go with it. You can already start thinking of a new

outfit as an extra for Christmas. But we don’t want to go that far yet.

For the time being, you can look forward to delightful Easter decorations, colourful

furnishings for your balcony or garden, and an elegant storage system for your home.

Enjoy working with our ideas

Claudia Giesser, Editor-in-Chief

SPRING AWAKENING

Whether it be loose-fitting blazers, loose-fitting shirts or trousers: The super

comfortable and casual oversize look sets the trend for the coming season. Not

surprising, after all, after home office and quarantine times, comfort that provides a

sense of well-being is called for. The fashion pieces in XL version offer elegant freedom

of movement and, thanks to their classic nature, they can still be worn in the seasons

to come. However, this trend does not replace the desire to return to fancier pieces.

Apart from bulky dresses, femininity returns with tight dresses in spring/summer 2022.

Especially if they are made of imitation leather. No other material is more rock’n’roll

than leather. But on the other hand, thanks to feminine cuts, asymmetrical silhouettes

and modern colours, the leather dress now becomes extra elegant.

Let yourself be inspired …

THIS SEASON, THE SILHOUETTE IS

GENTLY EMBRACED WITH WIDE CUTS.

WE PLAY AROUND WITH ACCESSORIES

AND EMBROIDERY SO THAT FEMININITY

DOES NOT GET LOST.

122-10 Shirt jacket “Anisa”

Kept in simple self-coloured shades, this jacket

is a timeless and chic companion. The embroidery

with small mirror plates is definitely THE eyecatcher,

a small embroidery motif on the sleeve

and the decorative ribbon on the hem complete

the look perfectly.

122-11 Handbag “Bari”

For those who like having everything with

them in case of possible emergencies,

this design trend is just the right thing:

Extra-large bags and XXL shoppers !

LONG

or Short ?

BE WELL DRESSED AT ALL TIMES WHEN

WEARING BLOUSES. NO MATTER

WHETHER COMBINED WITH A SKIRT,

SHORTS OR TROUSERS, OR EVEN WORN

AS A DRESS; BLOUSES OFFER AN EXTRA-

ORDINARY RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES TO

ALWAYS LOOK YOUR BEST.

122-18 Blouse “Fabiana”

Great for the office or a stroll around town

– the classic striped blouse comes with a few

highlights such as asymmetrcal details, sewn

pleats and cuffs on the trendy three-quarter

sleeves. On the Tips pages you will find detailed

instructions how to sew the classy-looking

concealed button placket.

122-19 Blouse “Dotty”

The short-sleeved blouse with the woven dots is

cheerful and vibrant – a model for warmer days !

The transparency of the fabric has been reduced

by adding the facings in the front area.

Let your

Colours Show

FASHION IS MEANT TO BE UNCOMPLICATED,

AND INTEGRATING IT INTO EVERYDAY

LIFE SHOULD BE AS EASY AS POSSIBLE.

IT SHOULD WORK JUST AS WELL

FOR THE BUSINESS MEETING AS IT DOES

FOR THE AFTER-WORK COCKTAIL.

THE PROBLEM OF MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY

IS SOLVED WITH JUST ONE PIECE – THE

CARDIGAN BLAZER.

122-25 Blazer “Lilian”

The casually cut cardigan blazer can be combined in

many ways; be it sporty or elegant – it is simply

striking. And in the trendy colour purple, it is

definitely a head turner.

122-26 Cap “Luca”

The end of the workday is in sight as soon as you

put on this baseball cap. The fashion trend that

gives your look a touch of spontaneity and a

twinkle in your eye. The absence notification is

activated !

122-30 Dolls “Boy” and “Girl”

No matter what the gender or the skin colour,

there is something for everyone here. If you want

to take the easy way out, simply embroider the

entire doll body in the Jumbo Hoop. But we also

have a good solution for those who don’t have an

embroidery machine at hand.



122-31 Dolls’ dress

Dressing up the little doll is the best part of the fun.

Today a pretty dotted dress – and tomorrow ? The

small parts require a bit of patience and tiny tools,

but all effort is forgotten once the children’s eyes

reflect mere joy.

122-32 Dolls’ shirt

This way, daddy’s shirt can be used again, because

even the most discarded shirt can be reused for

dolls !

122-33 Dolls’ trousers

These trousers are a very quick project. An identical

cutting pattern for the front and the back – that is

what we would like to have for ourselves, too.

Bringing Joy

NOT ONLY CHILDREN’S

HEARTS WILL BEAT FASTER

HERE. THE TWO CHARMING

LITTLE DOLLS ALREADY PUT

A SMILE ON OUR FACES

WHILE WE ARE CREATING

THEM AND SEW THEIR

OUTFITS.
