Maximum Chic THOSE WHO LIKE FASHION WILL LOVE THE MAXI DRESSES AND SKIRTS THIS SUMMER. THE LENGTH IS AT LEAST ANKLE-LENGTH, AND THEY ARE THE SUMMER FAVOURITE OF MANY WOMEN – WHAT WE THINK IS QUITE RIGHT – SIMPLY AIRY, COMFORTABLE AND WONDERFULLY FEMININE !

220-12 Long skirt “Susan” Maxi skirts have been an indispensable element on the catwalks for a long time, because they are true combination talents: practical and typical of summer. The long skirt can be combined in so many ways that it can be worn for almost every occasion.

220-13 Jacket “Flora” Every 90ies girl had a short, slim fitted denim jacket, and now they are back again. Or have they never left ? Like the leather jacket, the denim jacket probably never goes out of fashion. Give the beloved pieces new life, by jazzing them up with colourful embroideries of all kinds. Stitch it, baby !

220-20 Dress “Fee” The clear cut of this dress reminds strongly of the Sixties. Cheeky, but still elegant, it is highly versatile.

220-21 Headband The turban hairband is totally hip this season.

The knotted front part resembles the Far Eastern garment. The headband completes every outfit and many a hairstyle worry can be forgotten.

220-18 Raglan top “Maike” The silver stripe over the shoulder and sleeves add a sporty and elegant touch and accompanies you in everyday life as well as in the office and leisure time.

And sewing the sleeves is a piece of cake with this cut !

220-19 Skirt “Malu” A skirt for all occasions, covering the knees, but still very special because of the overskirt part. If you want to make sewing even easier, you can do without the seam pockets.

Exciting Animal Kingdom DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREY BRING CALMNESS TO THE OTHERWISE COLOURFUL CHILDREN’S ROOM. ADDITIONAL WARMTH IS CREATED BY FUNNY PRINTS AND VARIOUS TEXTURES – A CHEERFUL PLAY OF CONTRASTS.

220-25 Measuring stick Watching your own child grow is exciting. To make sure you don’t miss a thing, the giraffe measuring stick is a great companion. The date is noted on the wooden clothespins and the children can watch their growth progress with joy.

220-26 Chair cushion It does not always have to be the conventional children’s chairs and armchairs on which the little ones settle at home. A floor cushion for lolling, reading or relaxing is more suitable for children.

220-27 Koala cushion The koala head is a jack of all trades ! Whether for cuddling, playing or as a decorative element, everyone will love it, especially the little ones.

220-28 T-shirt Kids can’t have enough T-shirts as they keep getting dirty all by themselves ? ! The basic T-shirt becomes unique due to the elephant print and the contrasting cuffs. With the favourite animals on their clothes you can make every child happy.

Off to the Countryside

A SPECIAL SUMMER EXPERIENCE IS THE PICNIC IN THE GREEN. WITH THE BICYCLE WE CAN TRANSPORT EVERYTHING COMFORTABLY TO OUR FAVOURITE PLACE. OF COURSE, WE DO NOT USE DISPOSABLE PLATES, BUT ENJOY THE WELL-EQUIPPED CROCKERY UTILITY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

220-36 Picnic bag and blanket

220-37 Crockery container

Very functional is the fold-out bag, which is ideal as a picnic blanket. The outside is wipeable but can also be machine washed.

In the bag there is space for everything that does not fit into the bike bag anymore.

The dragon fruit decorates the outside of the practical storage box. The combined embroidery and appliqué file can be downloaded for free from our website. The all-round zip provides the necessary comfort, so that plates, cutlery and napkins are stored particularly nicely.

220-35 Bicycle bag A model that only you have in exactly this version, in a colour that you love; this way cycling is even more fun ! The two bags provide for the load balance and can be easily and comfortably taken along as a complete bag everywhere thanks to the carrying handle on the connecting piece.

SOFT TONES, BEAUTIFUL FABRICS – CURTAINS AND CUSHIONS MADE OF MUSLIN ARE A PLEASURE PER SE. IN SOFTLY GRADED SHADES OF GREY, THEY ARE NOT ONLY A BEAUTIFUL COMPLETION TO WHITE, BUT ALSO BRING CALM AND COMFORT.

220-45 Curtain In pleasant company: the airy curtain blows lightly with open windows on warm summer nights. It is loosely hung with ribbons to emphasise its random character.

220-46 Cushion cover If the day was exhausting, you are looking forward even more to your calm anchor and in this pillow, you can drown wonderfully.

220-47 Box A practical box for under or next to the bed, where you can easily store your bedtime reading matter and the like. The shiny imitation leather provides contrast and tension in combination with the natural materials.
