Madeit Fashion Week, presenting the Fold collection

Woohooo, Madeit Fashion Week is here! Today I finally get to show off all the patterns I've sewn up in the tester rounds for Olu and Anna. They made a wonderful collection of modern patterns for both girls and boys, inspired by Japanese Origami. I love the designs, they're quite different from other kids patterns out there. The tutorials stand out because it's written so friendly, warm and full of humour. It feels like you're sewing up the clothes together while chatting and having fun. It also has very clear step by step pictures and nice tips.

This post will be heavy on pictures (you're warned) but there's something in it for you too, just stay with me till the end of the post! Are you ready for the runway show? Here comes Fold!


First up, big rascal is wearing the Matrix Polo and Book Fold Trousers.

The polo has a fun diagonal design, great opportunity for colourblocking and a half exposed zipper.

The Book Fold Trousers are a spectaculair pair of pants, including a one piece back yoke with inner pockets, a diagonal fly and fold over cuffs.

To make it even beter, no zipper sewing! The diagonal fly closes with snaps. 

Now on to little rascal, waiting his turn to take place on the runway.

He's wearing the Kite Fold Tee and Oru Shorts. The shorts are an easy sew with an elastic waistband and fun faux backpockets.

The Kite Fold Tee is a straightforward tee, but different because of the diagonal lines and colourblock opportunities.The shirt has two ways to attach the neckband which makes it more appropriate for different sewing levels.
