This is one of these great sewing-stories that perfectly goes with our Sewing Around The World project: Mirjam got a sewing machine as a present from her boyfriend. She started to learn sewing and slowly got crazy about it. So crazy that in the end, she quit her job as a teacher and started to learn sewing professionally. She also started her blog Miushka<\/a> on which she writes about her lovely projects and that catched our eye already for a while. So, no wonder that Mirjam had to be part of Sewing Around The World.<\/p>\n

After she decided to take part she opted for a pattern set with two patterns very easy to sew: the Annalisa combination<\/a> consisting of a knee-length A-shaped skirt with side slant pockets and an elastic waistband and a shirt with bat sleeves.<\/p>\n

\"\"The fabrics for these two garments she found at Lilly Paris<\/a> , a lovely fabric shop in Switzerland with a beautifully selected choice of fabrics from international brands.<\/p>\n

For the Shirt Annalisa <\/a>Mirjam used a supersoften marine-white striped Kimsa sweat with printed cherries<\/a>. And even if it was painstaking to fit the stripes to match (this is always the crux of beautifully striped fabrics …) so convincing is the result we find!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And as beautiful as the shirt is the skirt because for Skirt Annalisa<\/a> Mirjam used the finest Kokka Double Gauze which she also got at Lilly Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She photographed her finished clothes together and then also combined them with other garments. So she created this fanstastic shirt-jeans-combi with the golden cherries and the skirt with a simple white blouse.<\/p>\n

Merci vielmol<\/em>\u00a0Mirjam and Janine from\u00a0Lilly Paris<\/a>\u00a0for this great contribution and your support! And for those of you who want to know more about Mirjam of course we also send her our little interview.<\/p>\n

When did you start to sew and why? How did you learn to sew?<\/em><\/p>\n

I started to sew about three years ago. My friend gave me a sewing machine for christmas present. Soon I quit my job and started to learn sewing at the school in Zurich. Since my little babyboy was born, half a year now, I don’t have so much time any more for sewing. Or I sew babygarments now … unless it is more difficult to organise my sewing time, it is more fun for me now!<\/p>\n

What are your favourite clothes? Do you have a fable for something?<\/em><\/p>\n

My very first garments were colorful and bright. Now I try to find a good balance in my closet – with colorful fabrics and also garments which you can comine well.<\/p>\n

What is the sewing project you like the most?<\/em><\/p>\n

Always the one I am working at the moment.<\/p>\n

Do you only sew for you or also for other people (husband, children, \u2026)?<\/em><\/p>\n

I love sewing for myself, a luxury I allow myself. But, as mentioned, sometimes I sew for my boy and I also sew a button on for my boyfriend …<\/p>\n

From where do you get your ideas? Do you buy patterns or do you invent your own ones? <\/em><\/p>\n

In school, the main emphasis is on design and construction. At home, I get my inspiration from patterns – as balancing. There are so many fantastic Indi-Designers with a wonderful choice of patterns!<\/p>\n
