I feel like swirling today💃🏼and it must be the hem finish ( or the sunshine, or the fact that the kids are back in school 🤭) that makes me want to do so!
Do you love bound finished hems? Easy to make and such a fun finish ✨

Let me share some helpful tools that will make binding tape life a lot easier and more fun!

📍First of all: on our Tips & Tricks page you will find a tutorial ‘How to make piping’. The first part explains how to easily cut bias tape from your fabric. The width of the tape is determined by how wide you want your binding tape to be once finished. You’re the designer, you decide 😊

📍Then there is such a thing as a ‘bias tape maker’ that helps you fold the bias tape. Also here, there are a variety of sizes. You might want to get a nice kit that includes several widths so you can play with different looks. Now pull your fabric through the larger opening (using a needle might help to slide through) and press the folded tape that comes out on the other end. Et voila!

📍Next step is how to get it neatly onto your hem. Well, let me share you the best trick for this: the adjustable bias binder foot! Live has become so much easier using this foot. I sometimes would miss the undertape while I was stitching neatly on top (don’t tell anyone). But, not any longer with this foot!

And, there you have it! Nothing but fun bound finished hems from now on 😊 Keep on swirling

Also made myself a new draping arm. My 'old arm' is about 20 years old now (read: smudgy 🤭) so I could definitely use an arm replacement.
Tip: use stitched lines instead of drawn lines, so you can feel the grain line instead of trying to look for it.

Thinking back on a real technical refreshment cour

Thinking back on a real technical refreshment course in Amsterdam last week. I worked with a group of designers to reconstruct the Dior dress: 'La Cigale'.
Before starting to drape the dress, we worked on giving the mannequin the shape that is build in the dress.
Feeling a bit like a sculptor...

Tadaaa, me and my dummy!! (or the other way around... just the way you look at it 😁)
I know it's all handwork and pretty impressive to see the outcome!! But I can't help comparing and to look for possible differences 🧐 I guess my buttocks are a bit rounder then the mannequin. And my breasts a bit higher. I am wearing the same bra here as during the taping process, so not sure how this happened 🤔
I yet have to drape a bodice and see how it fits me. Will keep you posted ofcourse, however not this week. I'm taking a master class in Amsterdam this entire week to refresh and further develop my skills. Exciting to see how I can perhaps advance my current working method.

Last Valentinesday I made a ❤️ shaped bodice dress, where the bust and waist darts are transferred into the draped heart shape. Would you like to learn how to make such a bodice? Or any other draped shape sewn into your bodice? I've made a tutorial in both Dutch and English that will show you step by step how to go about this. You can find these free downloads on our Tips & Tricks Page (see link in bio).
I would love to see your end result, so fee free to share any cool shaped and draped bodices 😍

I have been contemplating for a while to have a mannequin made of my own body. So representing my body shape and measurements instead of the manufactured 'standard' shape and size. Yup we're all unique. And then not a home made ducktape version, but professionally made. Due to the work that goes in it, it's quite pricy.... which was where my hesitation came from. Well, as you can see in these photos I made up my mind 😃
A few weeks ago, I went to Ton Verswijveren a talented pattern designer in Holland specialized in draping techniques and author of several books in draping (here we call it moulage). He makes these professional mannequins himself and is actually also my old teacher who taught me the draping technique. Really nice to see him again after so many years. I thought to share some pictures of the taping process and soon some photos of the finished result...my dummy 😅 To be followed by new draped designs of course 🎉

As I'm going back and forth on how to develop our sewing instructions, I was wondering what your preference would be? I set up a little poll in our stories. Curious what you prefer: photos with written instructions (as it is now) or construction videos 🎥?

Some Belgian pattern designers recently sat together because they want to make people aware of the importance of buying sewing patterns. Unfortunately I also know that patterns sometimes get passed around or shared in groups.
We as small company owners need these purchases in able to survive and to be able to put our time and energy into making more and more wonderful patterns for you. We do a little dance on our cutting table each time we sell a pattern 💃🏼✂️
I wish to share this awareness with you and call out to use the hashtag

The great part of having a perfect fitting basic dress pattern is that you can use it to create new looks over and over again. Like for example a Valentine's Day Dress ❤️❤️❤️
Do you wish to make a dress pattern that actually fits your curves and measurements? I offer a two day workshop Basic Dress & Design where you make a fitted basic dress and learn the principles of pattern design.

We are moving!!!!
After opening up our creative hotspot in the Zandstraat (Culemborg) a year ago we will now move to a bigger and even more central place!
As of December 1st we will be located at Oude Vismarkt 13 🎉 Where Zandpand started with just two designers (me and @vandijck82 ) we will now open our doors with 5 designers on board, who will be introduced to you shortly!
A bigger place with more designers, however our concept remains the same: creating, selling, inspiring!
Hope to meet you there real soon!
