Most of what you own is still in your closet for a reason. If you don’t wear it, it probably has a reason, but you probably also have a good reason not to throw it away. The devil is in the details, and you can learn a lot about those here. Colour, cut, length, buttons, zippers, pockets, ruffles, and so on. How can you make every item in your closet your favorite one? We hope to inspire you with some possibilities.

Once you get fired up to see the beauty in good material and craftsmanship, everything becomes an opportunity. Working with scraps and leftovers is a very rewarding way to learn the gentle art of sewing and give new purpose to things. We will show you, you can take this very far. (Martine started to name herself a contemporary culture recycle freak in the 80’s..) Nothing has to go to waste or be waste. Let your inner recycle freak out.

Good outfits need good cuts, but once you have a style that suits you, you often want to stick with it. If you have a favourite blouse/trousers/dress, or skirt, you can often easily replicate it without anyone seeing it as a duplicate. We will help you do that and share some of our favorites with you. Here you can learn the art of subtle variation and tricks to get good patterns. To learn about execution, we will share links to our favorite sewista-teachers and tutorials.

You own your clothes for a reason, and if you love them, it’s worth to learn a thing or two about enjoying them as long as possible. Your favorite items tell a story about you and the experiences you had in them. Whether it’s a spaghetti spot on your white trousers, a tear, a standard cleaning, or advanced knit repair. We want to be a platform for a zillion questions and creative solutions for everlasting love with your favorite garments.
