Bean bag and leotard.
Two home made items in one picture.

Hopefully we will find some more time, to keep you posted on everything we have recently made.

THE outfit

All of you already figured out that our Belgium's Got Talent outfit was homemade.

The white lycra came from -where else- Tahir, but the special stretch fabrics, namely the stretch opaque mat skin color lycra and stretch knit flower fabric was bought online.

The Belgian colors were added on the white fabric with a zigzag stitch, at the back it is finished with a blind zipper. We did not use vlieseline as the stretchversion was out of stock in the UAE and there was no time left to order online.

Last but not least thank you for all your amazing messages on several social media about our performance! We will know this weekend if we go to the liveshows. Although we got 4 'yesses' from the judges we have to wait for the final decision they will make in the call back round.

We will keep you posted...

Tonight is THE night

Tonight is THE night, our auditions will be broadcasted on television. Some of our friends are coming over to watch and we just received this awesome gift!

Photoboot time...

The rest of the circus has also started. Some newspaper articles and next week ... 'Dag Allemaal'.

Don't forget to like our facebook page and for our hardcore sewing fans, the outfit is homemade. More detailed pictures to follow.

Gymnastics outfit: part 3

This is the third and –currently- last part in our series about gymnastics outfits. Our youngest gymnast requested pink, flowers and butterflies. She got a salmon costume, made of soft and  elastique nicky velvet, decorated with purple butterflies.

Inspired by her elder sister’s tricks, she wanted to show off her abilities. Aerial skills, is aiming too high but she is almost capable to perform a bridge and a split.

Her second outfit is made out of neon pink swimming costume fabric, and is decorated with blue flowers.

The girls tried to make a bridge over each other,...

… but split together seemed to be the easier and safer option!

Gymnastics outfit: part 2

Internet let us down again so it took us a while to post the gymnastics outfit, but here we go....

Louka asked for a gymnastics costume with a dragon, or … maybe she preferred stars, but then again flowers can be nice as well, …? A difficult decision; so we decided to make a series of costumes and so avoid deciding.

All three the outfits went down well with Louka en she enjoyed even more than usual while taking the shots for the blog. We both show a preference for the pictures taken at ‘aerial skills’ training.

As proud as punch and with a big smile she shows off her ‘tricks’ and off course also a little the gymnastics outfits.

The aerial skills classes take place in fantastic surroundings. The girls are performing on the satin fabric in between the paintings and sculptures in a local art gallery, ArtSawa.

This green outfit was made from swim costume fabric, we bought at Tahir. We embroidered neon pink flowers to decorate the outfit.

The outfit with the fire-breathing dragon …

And finally her absolute favorite: The stars! The color combination makes it look like we want to advertise for America en that was not the purpose, but Louka doesn’t care a toss and cheerfully swings around with it.

I designed the pattern based on the shape of her swim costume and some old gymnastics costumes. The nicky velvet fabric was less rigid than the swim costume fabric so the pattern was cut a little larger when using the swim costume fabric.

Exhausted after class. 

The outfits we made for Jade will be presented later. I do not inform you in advance when, as internet is not as reliable at the moment as I wish for.
