#kookaburrajumper is finished! This very comfortable and everyday unisex sweater, full of texture, will be available in my Ravelry store sooner than you think! 🙊🧡 Who will you make it for?

Priscilla cardigan - an update! I received such heartwarming and lovely feedback from you about my upcoming design Priscilla that I cannot be more happy! 🧡😘 I am simply stunned! It is you guys who motivate me the most. Lots of you wrote to me to ask about the design's details and publication date and I thought it would be a great idea to share the answers with all of you in a separate post and explain ☺️ The end of the test is at the beginning of December. We have already taken pictures and they are ready to be shared with you! I am still working on the promo video. After receiving the surveys from my sweet testers (who, by the way, are finishing or have already made absolutely gorgeous versions of Priscilla! You will be totally in love with them!) I need a couple days after deadline to make all amendments and arrangements needed for the pattern release. The pattern will contain 7 sizes, and each size will have a separate file to make following the pattern easy and clear. The pattern will be available in Polish and English. I promise you that I am doing the best to provide you with the best version of the pattern as quickly as I can to let you create your own, lovely version of Priscilla cardigan 🌼💛 Such complex design requires lots of attention and time from me and the testers, but the goal is always the same: create a pattern which will give you nothing else but pure pleasure and great satisfaction! Thank you so much for your patience and support. You really make me incredibly happy! Let me know if you are waiting for this pattern too! And if you have any questions, just ask 🥰 #marzenakolaczek #marzenakolaczekdesign #priscillacardigan #knittstagram #knitweardesigner #knitdesigner #knitdesign #knitting #iknit #dzierganie #wzórnadruty #nadrutach #forknitters #thewoolbarn #wool #knittingpattern #knittingaddict #knittingproject #knittingcardigan #handmadewardrobe #handmade #imakemyownclothes #imademyclothes #aussieknitters #knittersofsydney #knittersofaustralia
And here it is! My first hand made bikini 🙊💛🌺 and I loooove it 😍 I am never intimidated by any piece of garment I want to make - I do not think too much about the difficulty level of patterns. But I always thought that swimwear is not the easiest project to make. But honestly, that was just a piece of cake 😅 you know, there is only a few elements to put together and the spandex isn't the most tricky fabric to work with 👌 Just use hundreds of pins to keep the pieces in place and you will be fine! I chose #tidalbikini pattern from @swimstylepatterns, an absolutely gorgeous bikini with one-shoulder top and high waist bottoms. And I love everything about this shape! I just made one modification: I shortened the bottoms a little to make them lay better on my lower back. I used Spandex 190gsm, with a beautiful and unique (mix of pink, peach and light blue) irregular pattern named Ink Poise from @boodesigns_kristie. The colours are so bright and shiny that I cannot be more happy with them!!! I think they highlight the tan very much and they're truly eye-catching 🌺🌊 actually I have already heard some compliments from strangers 🤭 And now I am addicted. Seriously, sewing a swimwear is so satisfying and enjoyable that you have to give it a try!!! 💛 I am not going to stop at this one 😎 #marzenakolaczek #marzenakolaczekdesign #isew #imademyclothes #imakemyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #handmadegarments #handmadeswimwear #swimstylepatterns #swimwear #sewsewsew #sewistsofinstagram #sewistofaustralia #makersgonnamake #szycie #recznierobione #sewist
Hello! 🌺🌴💛 I am back! Before I start work (fortunately it's still weekend so I can pretend that lazy time hasn't finished yet 🙊) I would love to share with you some of my sewing projects I recently made. I made #robecassandre by @clematisse.pattern right before our holiday and I took it with me as it's an absolutely perfect piece of beach garment! 🏖️ I love this back and cute frills around the waist 🌼 I decided to make a short, everyday version and I used a gorgeous linen fabric from @tessutifabrics I bought it as a gift from my lovely parents-in-law who definitely know what makes me happy 💛😘 I wish you all a happy weekend! #marzenakolaczek #marzenakolaczekdesign #sewistsofinstagram #sewsewsew #imademyclothes #imakemyownclothes #sewist #isew #handmadewardrobe #handmadegarments #sewing #sewingproject #clematissepattern #tessutifabrics #szycie #makersgonnamake
