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!

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. 🙏 Summertime... and the living is easy... isn’t that an awesome song? It’s stuck in my head after this weekend of sewing. Ready for long days in de garden, that we’ve just finished! There’s a swing and a slide... can you image our little boy running around? At this time, due to COVID-19, the Zoo is closed.. so we read a lot of books about animals! We hope to visit the Zoo when everything is a little better.. but for now: some #tcesterandebbe in animal prints! I fount the elephants @rijstextiles and the giraffes are bought @senzalimits.nl . Let’s hope for sun! As the weather was getting better, I realised that I hadn’t sewn any T-shirt’s yet! So I took the #tcesterandebbe and made a few! First of all... helicopters, as requested. He actually run around the living room holding this fabric and said ‘mooooi, mama trui maken’. So I made one with short sleeves and one with long sleeves. Now I just hope that the weather will improve before he grows out of them. I found this fabric by @tygdrommar And the #tcesterandebbe top by itself in the lovely fabric from @familyfabricsdesign. This pattern is just really good. I’ve already lined up fabrics for T-shirts for my kids. So expect many more!! This weekend, I finished this set for Chloë. Her mom chose the fabrics herself, and I really like the way it turned out! So sweet! These patterns are a great sew! And fabric of @familyfabricsdesign is always lovely to sew! Thank you @ctogt, I hope you will make some amazing photographs with your new business (@fotografie.ctogt)! If you’re looking for a family photographer in the Netherlands, make sure to check her site! So, I’m kind of late to the ‘bloomer-party’, but now I’m definitely a fan!! I added some fabric to make it a paperbag waist, as requested by @ctogt for her lovely daughter! Now I need to make many and many more. Have a lovely Monday! And let’s hope for more summer-weather ☀️ If you would like some bloomers, send me a DM!! Together with Logan’s mom, @kimlijnse, we found the perfect fabric. It’s a jersey from @tygdrommar called Jungle Buddies! We hacked the #stellajumpsuit and this is the result.. such a happy make! Thank you for your order!

I love this fabric and color so much, that I went a made a set for my son, my daughter and an #isasweater from @_beletoile_ for myself. My mini’s also received an iron-on design. My son is very fond of ‘copters’ and asked for a sweater with a helicopter, and I added his name to it. The pants are the #minihudsonpants from @truebias My daughter… well, she can’t ask for anything, but I really liked this script I found in the Design Space from Cricut. Her patterns are a hack of the @brindilletwig sweater and pants. I have an iron-on design for myself as well, but as I’m constantly wearing the sweater, or it’s being spit on, I haven’t found a moment to put it one.. it says ‘Chaos Organiser’… Well.. one can hope!! Enjoy your weekend!! For her, for him and for me. I love this fabric and color so much, that I went a made a set for my son, my daughter and an #isasweater from @_beletoile_ for myself.

Enjoy your weekend!! Hi! This is me! A little nervous, with wrinkles and freckles, trying to show you that my eyes match my fabric. I just love this pattern, the #isasweater by @_beletoile_ and the fabric by @seeyouatsixfabric. I’m really enjoying the seamstresses community, and wanted to show you the face behind DoorDromen! Have a nice weekend! Jippie! An extra free day! So many ideas and so little time.. In between nightshifts at home, as well as in the hospital, I managed to squeeze some new makes for my daughter! I love the patterns by Brindle&Twig, but the neck is always a bit large for my kids. On the other hand, it needs to fit over their heads, so I tried to hack the neckline! It’s almost right, although I added for the snaps, I forgot that it also overlaps.. But the second pair is already cut. I just need them to go to sleep simultaneously so I can get some sewing done! By the way, lovely fabric right? I’ts from @olabela.pl Jippie! An extra free day! So many ideas and so little time..

The first time I made it, it was for a lovely patient of mine, who ordered it for her friends baby. I’m so happy with the result, and I hope she will love it as much as I do.

Thank you for the order @hyacintpost ! This is going to be a mini wardrobe capsule.. I also have a really lovely green french terry from SeeYouAtSix, from which the pieces are already cut and waiting to be sewn.. I just need to find the time! After they are done, I will make some more pictures of the combinations! In the meantime, as my daughter is sitting in my lap, they are already well-worn and loved. Enjoy your Easter weekend! 🐣 Yes!! This business is starting to grow bit by bit, and so are my skills. This is my first pattern hack for the #isasweater by @_beletoile_ and fabric from @olabela.pl .. it’s such a happy sweater!! It looks great with jeans or with a skirt, and has many happy colours! Spring in a sweater! Thank you for the opportunity @nancy_togt ! Yes!!

Every skill I knew went to the next level. I had my eye on the Millie dress for a while, and when a friend wanted a sweet dress for her birthdaygirl, I finally had the excuse to purchase it! Together with one of my favorite fabrics, I am so super excited about the result! I made a dark green legging as well, so it is suitable for spring, summer and fall! Endless opportunities! It’s custom made and personalised, and made with heaps of love. This dress… I’ve learned so much in the past week! Every skill I knew went to the next level.
