Welkom op mijn site!

DoorDromen is opgericht als creatieve uitlaatklep, en is inmiddels een klein bedrijf geworden. Met veel plezier maak ik kinderkleding, werk ik aan kinderspeelgoed en help ik je met het inrichten van je kinderkamer. Je kunt hier inspiratie opdoen, en ik schrijf blogs over verschillende onderwerpen. Op dit moment is het allemaal nog een ‘work-in-progress’, maar ik hoop je te kunnen inspireren!

Ik ben Nina Baan, en ik wil je hier graag meer vertellen over het maken van kinderkleding, maar ook over het inrichten van je baby/kinderkamer, het timmeren en klussen wat ik graag doe, fotograferen, IKEA hacks, dromen en hersenspinsels. DoorDromen komt door dromen. Alles begint met een droom. Ik woon samen met Gerard in Rotterdam, ben mama van Siebe (2019) en Nora (2020). Veel leesplezier!

Heb je na het lezen inspiratie opgedaan, en wil je met me in contact komen? Stuur me dan via de site een berichtje. Ik denk graag met je mee, of het nu over kinderkleding, inrichting of klussen gaat!

And the last one of this set! I love green! Part two of the closeup! I love green! Turban or normal beanie? I can’t wait to see it on little your little one! My lovely friend @christelkurzekase asked me to make some clothes for her daughter, and handpicked the fabrics. I love how this print turned out in the tiny babyclothes… and I had forgotten how small a size 56 is! Thankfully, @brindilletwig patterns are easy to sew. I hacked the sweater into a dress, and added the Lo Legging by @threadsbycaroline. You’ll see that in one of the follow posts! This is always a strange picture, but it’s the first half! When you make pictures right before you have to leave the house with kids, I usually forget something, or in this case, details of one of the jumpsuits! So I decide to cut it in half, so you can see more.. stick with me! This set was made as a gift for a new mom! I really love it when parents don’t want to know the gender in advance, so we searched for a fabric that was fun and happy, and suitable for boys and girls! It’s a size 62, so perfect for the fall! I love the process, picking out fabric together and making it with lots of love. Details… 😍 To be honest, I wasn’t that comfortable with girly clothes, the ruffles, the added bows and or hats. But I must say, once you’ve entered this world, it’s a lot of fun! This set is a size 62, and perfect for fall! Fabrics are from @familyfabricsdesign and @seeyouatsixfabric . And if you’re wondering… yes, it takes me about 7 hours to make it. It’s the Lo Legging by @threadsbycaroline (first time, and now addicted) with a hacked sweater from @brindilletwig and the hat is inspired by the blog of @ell.mini (she has many really good blogs of patterns, and is in my opinion the queen of girly!) Sweaters… I love them. Honestly , I wear my #memade sweaters everyday. They are awesome for bicycling to work. They are lovely items for my children to touch with dirty hands and/or mouths. They hug your body. So when it comes to children’s clothing, I can’t stop making them. They are my favourite item. This is the hacked #brindlleandtwigpatterns #35. With a neckband, snaps on the shoulder and ruffles, it’s the perfect gift in a size 62. And it’s made of french terry by @seeyouatsixfabric, which is absolute my most loved fabric. Let’s get ready for fall! And make loads of sweaters!!! The #tcesterandebbe is a great pattern to hack. Here, I’ve blended three sizes to make an (almost) perfect fit! Because our bodies are not standard sizes. Not when you’re an adult, not when you’re a child! So why make standard clothes? I love to make little adjustments so the clothes fit even better. Usually, in the Netherlands, we’re kids are tall, in lengthening, or adjusting the neckline. What do you alter the most? And here it is!! My grandmother, who showed me how to sew, and whose machines I still use, asked me to make a dress. For me, that was a very special request. Her great granddaughter turned 2. So we chose the fabric and pattern together. Without her coverlock machine, I would have been able to make it. We both love it. Let’s hope Kaat and her parents love it too! Summer vibes! I really like these two fabrics together. I’ve added snaps to the shoulder, because I downsized the pattern to a size 68! Swipe for details. This set was made for Boris, that happens to be one of my sons favourite characters by Dick Bruna.. so I couldn’t resist adding the book! And for the love of necklines… two more! My grandmother, who showed me how to sew, and whose machines I still use, asked me to make a dress. For me, that was a very special request. Her great granddaughter turned 2 today. So we chose the fabric and pattern together. Without her coverlock machine, I would have been able to make it. We both love it. Let’s hope Kaat and her parents love it too! I don’t make batches. When you order something, we decide on the fabric together, and I try my very best to make something you love to put on your child, and he or she loves to wear. So you give me the measurements, and I make it so it will fit. In the end, you have a durable, organic garment that makes us both happy! And to make it really personal, I like to print the name of your child inside, or a nice phrase. I adjusted the size of this T-shirt, and added snaps, for extra comfort! Posing is still very awkward, but I just can’t stress how good this skirt feels. The swishing. So! On a bridge over the Amstel, in Amsterdam, in front of theatre Carré, my final showing! This man. This night. This skirt. They all make me feel incredibly beautiful. We went to the theatre, and saw Herman van Veen. His show is impressive, as always, and encourages us to seize the moment. Life flies by, and it’s important to enjoy life and each other. So we did, and will try to keep doing that! I’ve received so many compliments about this skirt, it’s amazing. Combined with a sweater and heels, it’s very fit a little bit colder weather. Sweater is also of course; self made! Enjoy your weekend!! I’m so excited!! Made my first whole me-made outfit. And I LOVE it. The skirt has pockets and this utterly beautiful fabric that swish and swoohs (probably not proper English) viscose from @seeyouatsixfabric bought at @ansjehandmade and I’m just so very very happy. This is 6AM and I couldn’t wait to wear it. The top is the all known and loved Odette top in forest green jersey. Patterns: tutorial by @montoyamayo for the half circle maxi skirt and #lmvodette @la_maison_victor_nl Three sets, three pictures. Yesterday, I’ve spent all day on a skirt for myself. It ended with a big fail, so I’m celebrating these lovely creations one more time. And these are just perfect to mix and match. Swipe for matching sets! And the same goes here; if you would like some as well, just send me a DM and we’ll choose the fabric together! Okay, so maybe today it’s rains… but the temperature still calls for summer clothes! And we’ve found out why dresses are made in size 80 and up.. crawling is nearly impossible in a dress. So! She’s a little adventurer, our Nora.. and now she can explore more!! Would you like some as well? DM! I’m very grateful for all of you following my account. We have reached just a little over 200 followers now, so I would like to introduce myself a little bit. My name is Nina, I’m a mom of two beautiful children, Nora (8mo) and Siebe (2yrs). By day, I’m finishing up my residency as a trauma surgeon, but by night, I’m also a seamstress, carpenter and sometimes a children’s room designer.. I love to be creative! Thank you!!! Just to let you know; if there something you’re looking for, send me a DM. I do sizes from preemie to 110! I love making babygifts. Especially if the parents are good friends and they’ve requested the fabrics. This is one of them, as you can see, I hacked the pattern to add ruffles and snaps at the shoulder. The greenblue matches the eucalyptus, and it’s girly but not pink. So thank you @annekeexterkate for the opportunity to make something for your beautiful Sophie !! It’s been quiet for some time, but yesterday I had a really nice time sewing! For the first time, I sewed together with a friend! We FaceTimed and talked and sewed, and it was so relaxing and so much fun! She also had great tips for my neckline. So thank you @atelierstudiojip !! Today I was planning to do a lot of sewing.. I had already traced and cut all the patterns, and wanted to participate in @sewitcurly @justaddfabric and @coffeeandthread #sewthatpatternnow2021 so I was pretty excited! I started with the #readress by @_beletoile_ , that I wanted to sew for ages! This fabric from @meetmilk_fabric was perfect, and has been in my stash for over a year. But I didn’t have enough fabric, and although the instructions are pretty clear, I made some rookie mistakes! So I finished the dress, without a ribbon but with an elastic waist, a little bit of a #luxdress idea. And then I went in to our garden, and in the next posts I’ll show you what me and my dress did!!

And the third picture! I couldn’t really choose, so it took me a while. I just really like this fabric in combination with the ribbing and snaps! So when I started this #tcbillyandbetty for him, I knew I had to make one for her as well! She doesn’t need pockets (yet) and I added a ruffle to the sleeve. Everything went smooth.. except her tag! It’s not in the middle.. well.. practice makes perfect, right? When I first saw the amazing #tcbillyandbetty that @vrolijkevos made, I knew I had to make it. But I kind of was unsure if I could, and couldn’t decide on a fabric. When I saw the version of @martinew9006 I was inspired. I found this lovely blue fabric and striped ribbing at @tygdrommar. Stay tuned, because I made one for him, but also one for her! And the final push was the #sewthatpatternnow2021 .. so thank you all. 🙏
