Von den Philipinen in die USA – von Diorella in\u00a0Manila <\/a>zu Charlie in New York.

Charlie lebt mit ihrer Familie in New York, Brooklyn, und f\u00fchrt mit ihrem Blog Noble & Daughter <\/a>eine Art N\u00e4htagebuch. Absolut stilsicher kombiniert Charlie Schnitte, Stoffe und Farben und n\u00e4ht sich ein tolles Teil nach dem anderen!<\/span><\/p>\n

F\u00fcr das Sewing Around The World Projekt hat sich Charlie den Jumpsuit Judith<\/a> ausgesucht, dessen Besonderheit – die \u00fcbereinanderliegenden Fl\u00fcgel\u00e4rmel – es ihr besonders angetan haben. Bei Stoff & Stil ist sie f\u00fcndig geworden und hat sich einen dunkelblauen Cupro<\/a> – ein matt gl\u00e4nzender Stoff mit weichem Griff, \u00e4hnlich wie Viskose – ausgesucht und mal wieder ihr Gesp\u00fcr f\u00fcr Stoffe bewiesen. Der Jumpsuit f\u00e4llt locker und luftig ohne Form zu verlieren und die Farbe steht Charlie einfach super!<\/p>\n

Vor vier Jahren ist Charlie mit ihrer Familie von England nach New York gezogen und n\u00e4ht seitdem noch einmal mehr. Fast ihre gesamte Garderobe ist selbstgen\u00e4ht. Neben ihrem Blog kann man all die wunderbaren selbstgen\u00e4hten St\u00fccke auch auf ihrem Instagram Channel <\/a>bewundern!<\/p>\n

Wir sagen “Thank you, Charlie<\/a>” f\u00fcr den tollen Beitrag aus dem inspirierenden Brooklyn – von dem man auf den Fotos von Charlie immer ein bisschen zu sehen bekommt und weiteres erahnen kann – und Danke an Stoff & Stil <\/a>f\u00fcr die gro\u00dfz\u00fcgige Unterst\u00fctzung!<\/p>\n

Wer noch ein bisschen mehr \u00fcber Charlie und ihre N\u00e4hleidenschaft wissen m\u00f6chte – wir haben ihr wieder unsere “Sewing Around The World Fragen” geschickt und sie hat sie ausf\u00fchrlich beantwortet:<\/p>\n

Interview mit Charlie<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Present yourself a little bit (name, age, children, name of the blog, age, city where you live, what you are doing when you are not sewing, \u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Charlie, a Brit living Brooklyn, NY for 4 years now. We moved here for my husband\u2019s job when my kids were 2 and 5 months. They\u2019re now six and four and consider themselves Americans – which makes me feel confused – especially as they both have English accents. I\u2019m an accidental (thanks to our visa situation), but happy about it, stay at home mum\/ mom, currently feeling a little bereft now both kids are in school.<\/p>\n

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

I learnt to sew when I was 12, when I was the height I am now 6 feet (180cm) tall and couldn\u2019t find any clothes to fit me. My mum trained as a dressmaker and sewed all mine and my siblings clothes when we were kids (mostly to our annoyance – ungrateful things we were) and so it was natural for her to teach me how to sew. I still do tailors tacks and many things the way she taught me. I stopped sewing for a long time but started again when my 4 year old was a baby as a means, recommended by a therapist, to deal with Post Natal Depression. And I haven\u2019t been able to stop sewing since.<\/p>\n

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

I love clothes, all clothes, I always have. I always have too many clothes and have always spent all the money I could possibly justify, and much I couldn\u2019t, on clothing. I don\u2019t do that so much any more but I do find it very frustrating that I don’t have the time to sew every single thing I think of or that catches my eye. I like to follow my own tune when it comes to getting dressed but tend to focus on volume and interesting shapes and silhouette combinations rather than outlandish fabrics. Increasingly I stick to solid fabrics with interesting texture and let the style lines and volume do the talking<\/p>\n

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

There are some dresses I\u2019ve made that I\u2019m super proud of the techniques and the pattern matching and the end result but I\u2019ve worn rarely as they\u2019re occasion dresses. I get so much more enjoyment out of the things I get to wear regularly and one my favorites remains an oversized pink melton wool coat I made to replicate a Helmut Lang one I saw. I wore it all last winter, get so many comments about it and feel a million bucks in it!<\/p>\n

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

Me, me, me! I don\u2019t think it\u2019s selfish to sew just for myself. For me sewing is therapy and being able to visualise and realise exactly what I want provides me with so much satisfaction that I see it as part of my self care. As such and due to the limited time I have to sew, I rarely sew for others. When I do, I feel it shows how much I love that person!<\/p>\n

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

I usually see something in a store, online, on a person and want to replicate it and then use a pattern and adapt it to what it is I want to make. Sometimes I draft my own, sometimes I like a pattern as is, but mostly I have the vision first and then find the pattern and fabric to fulfill that. The only downside to this is that I have so many ideas and so many things I want to sew, my wardrobe has become very haphazard and there is little cohesion to how it looks. This is something I want to address this winter.<\/p>\n
