Zenchic is the name of Brigitte Heitland's company. Ms. Heitland was born in the Black Forest of Germany and when she could reach the pedals on the sewing machine, her grandma taught her how to sew! She went on to study textile design and eventually discovered quilting. She creates patterns for quilts and has been designing her own fabrics for years for Moda Fabrics. The fabrics pictured above are from our collection of Ms. Heitland's "Figures" fabrics. These lovely graphic prints in summery salmons, saffron and linen whites can be found by Volksfaden here.

kleinAmeland
We recently started selling Schnittreif patterns and several customers have raved about the Ameland dress pattern, so I decided to sew up the little version of the dress, kleinAmeland! Et voilá, here you have the result! I used two fabrics from the newest Soft Cactus collection, (they can be found here) and opted for bias binding around the neck instead of the interfacing. The pattern makes up fast and the German directions are easy to follow. If you have never put a zipper in, you might want to check out a zipper tutorial on Youtube, or another online option, because this process is not described in detail, so definitely an easy sew for beginning sewers with some experience.

basicgrey "little black dress"
When I hear the words "little black dress" the first thing I think of is Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"...her georgeous black Givenchy in one of the opening scenes...absolutely iconic!
Speaking of little black dresses...here are fabrics from Basicgrey's newest collection for Moda, "Little Black Dress". The color palette combines black with grey, taupe and beige and offers big and subdued florals, lace optic, dots and an herringbone stripe. One could definitely sew something iconic with this little collection!
