What makes the women's Luna camisole special?

The camisole is an essential basic that you can also wear beautifully on its own as a top. It can be sewn in many styles: sporty, romantic, or playful. In the instructions, I show you many variations with which you can reinterpret the cut again and again. The cut of the camisole is designed to fit fantastically in both small and large sizes!

Can the camisole also be sewn with a sewing machine?

Yes, absolutely, that's no problem at all! For example, you can sew the camisole with a narrow and wide zigzag stitch. An overlock stitch on your sewing machine is also suitable for the side and shoulder seams. It is important that you use a new jersey*– or stretch needle*. Then the seams will look really nice with the sewing machine too.

Is there also a matching camisole to go with the camisole?

Of course! You can also download both eBooks in a bundle!

    • Shirt with lace trim

Sewing a camisole with jersey cuffs

Nothing pinches: With soft jersey cuffs, the neck and armholes are beautifully snug. Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole

Shirt with jersey binding

Cuffs done differently! A simple jersey strip can make such a difference! It becomes contrasting and a little retro with fabrics in contrasting colors. By the way, the flat binding is also great for camisoles! Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole

Finishing a camisole with cuff fabric

Cuff fabric gives your top good stability. But beware: under tight clothing, these cuffs can create bulk. If you wear the shirt on its own or under a cardigan: perfect! Also a great choice as a workout shirt! It looks elegant with an outer fabric made of fine viscose jersey and a subtle glitter cuff in gold! :) Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole

Sewing a camisole with curved edges

As simple as it is ingenious: With an elastic finish, your camisole always returns to its shape. That the elastic piping with curved edges also looks beautiful as a bonus is just the icing on the cake, isn't it? ;) Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole

Soft, elastic lace gives your basic camisole a romantic look! What's more, it is much easier to work with than you think. Go for it! :) Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole Sewing a women's camisole

What fabrics can the women's camisole be sewn from?

Fine, elastic fabrics are very suitable, such as Viscose jersey is soft and has a fine sheen. It is wonderful for lingerie, just like microfiber fabrics. Romanit is a firmer jersey fabric that is suitable for sporty lingerie because it absorbs moisture well.

How much fabric do I need for my size?

Which size is right for me?

Simply use my body and finished measurements table as a guide when determining the required size. For example, take a camisole that fits you well and compare its measurements with the finished measurements of the camisole. Also pay attention to differences in stretch. Then, as a rule, nothing can go wrong. Sewing a tunic dress for plus sizes Sewing a women's camisole

Of course, you can! How? I show you that in my blog post on the Kjella raglan sweater.

I come from Siegen-Wittgenstein, where I spent my childhood breaking in cows, jumping off haystacks and scraping a D- in needlework class.

Today, being creative feels like indescribable happiness to me – and it grows even more when I can share it with others. Since 2016 I have been celebrating my passion for sewing on this blog, and I love that sewing connects so many people.
