patt erns L eather, fur and oral Opposites attract, as we confirm here, with the new calmer floral designs harmonising perfectly with the rustic biker-style jacket.

6013 Jacket This jacket is a lot of fun for very little work!

The collar is of a piece with the front section and both the facings and lining are left off entirely, since the fur and pebbled outside are firmly attached to one another.

A fur hook is optional, as the wide overlay also works without a closure. All hems and outside edges were sewn with a straightstitch and Extra Strong sewing thread.

6014 Jeans Skinny jeans are the ideal partners for both daywear and evening wear, instantly yielding a chic party outfit when combined with a simple, longish top. Once again, waistband height is clearly moving up towards the natural waistline.

Jacket: With Walking foot or Dual feed (with the 7 and 8 Series)

le Pat c hwork st y Patchwork has been discovered by the fashion runways of this world as an individual design element. We’ve lost no time in incorporating this trend into a few projects for our readers.

6015 Patchwork shirt The highlight of this raglan shirt is the yoke made of various fabrics. The time and effort spent on patchworking here is much less than you may think.

6016 Skirt A bell-cut denim skirt with an asymmetric box pleat is comfortable as well as on-trend. The invisible zip is incorporated inconspicuously into the side seam.

Randomly draped triangles are an alternative to the sewn-in variant on the shirt.

6017 Bracelet Round out the patchwork look with the matching leather or faux-leather bracelet.

Tidy silhouett es Is that someone standing behind the screen there?

No, these figures were for the most part painted on the screen with the BERNINA PaintWork Tool.

6035 “Dress” jewellery organiser It takes the right jewellery to complete an outfit.

What could be more natural – not to mention tonguein-cheek – than to store your bling right on a dress?

You can recycle an existing dress you no longer need for this, or make this pseudo-dress instead.

6036 Screen The silhouettes on the left and right here were painted with the PaintWork Tool and a net fill. The figure in the centre was appliquéd in the conventional manner.

The hanging strips on the screen were embellished with stitch no. 39 (BERNINA 880), which was altered in the Stitch Designer. We’ve put an i-Tip on the website for you on this subject. It’s best to save the altered stitch straightaway in your Personal Program!

6037 Box The figure on the box was embroidered with a lacework fill. The phrase “Little Secrets” was created in the Embroidery Software Version 7. The new typeface is called “Run Liberty” and goes superbly with those little secrets of yours.
