Cisse shorts

It was about time to sew some pants again, here at the Abfabulies home. I’d had the Cisse pattern from Zonen 09 lying around for quite some time now, and now was as good as ever a time to start using it. I went on a fabric hunt in my own stash, and I found some petrol blue ribbed velvet. Originally, I...

Foxy pockets trousers

We already had an owl version of the Jacob trousers, and a fox version soon took over my thoughts too. For this one, I went back to my pile of hubby trousers that are ready to be recycled. Why they just keep on piling up? A while ago, there was a screw protruding from below his bicycle saddle. That screw...

Jacob – Owl version

Jacob number 3 turned out to be another one in corduroy. Level up for this version: pleated pockets. And of course I had to go the extra mile: owl pockets. Now we have someone walking around with eyes on his back(side)! How to make owl pockets What do you need? Fabric for the pockets Scrap fabric for the owl’s nose...

Recycled Jacob

After the previous Jacob I sewed turned out to be so easy, I aimed higher for this second one. With fold. With pockets. And with application. I recycled one of hubby’s trousers to make these. Doing so made it easy for myself, since I could simply reuse the waistband. With belt loops. And with nice finishing on the insde. To...

Flower Power Jacob

Zonen 09, that means patterns that are here to stay, just like Burda or Vogue. Trendy patterns, for trendy sons. A son, that I had. The Jacob pattern too. A son who fitted into the smallest size, for that I had to wait a bit. But look, I got there eventually. And pragmatic as we are, I made a bigger...

Happy Saint Patrick’s day!

I’m a baby clothes magnet. Seriously, they come flying to me from every direction. From cousins, friends, friends of friends. Super handy, and they are all adorable. And once in a while, one of those pieces is even cuter than all the rest. Like this cute retro Småfolk overall. I loved it so much that I was determined to draw...

Soul mates

Some weekends ago, we had my hubby’s big 30 retro party. Theme: Soul. That was because disco would have been too easy 😉 My husband asked me to make him a pair of flared retro trousers. Since I had made him trousers before, I just took the old pattern that I already had and flared it. Of course, I wanted to...

Hubby retro trousers

My husband is turning 30 in June. Big day, so big party coming up! And big parties ask for themes of course. And themes in their turn ask for costumes. So guess what I’ll be sewing the coming months…I’m not supposed to say anything about the theme yet. I can only say that the party is 22 May. And that...

Hubby trousers

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t call this blog “Knitty crochety” and then added a sewing project as a first project. So hey, it’s me! I made a pair of trousers for my husband. The pattern is based on a burda pattern, but the original pattern has flaps for each pocket. Since this was the fourth time that I...
