Black Carrot x Peppermint
Hi! The kind people at Black Carrot offered me to continue with the sponsored projects and here is the second “fruit” of this collab. I picked an interesting fabric that I had only touched but never used before – viscose ritchel. I don´t know the exact composition but it is nicely cool, flowy and has…

Black Carrot Black Dress
Hi! I didn´t even realize that I didn´t post anything in June! Wow! I blame the extraordinarily warm summer and I have always enjoyed sewing itself more than writing about it so I guess I made my choices last month. If you follow me on Instagram, however, you know that there are a bunch of…

Military Valentine
Hi! I finished this dress on Valentine´s Day and wore it to dinner with my husband the same night. Surely could have worn something more feminine and romantic, but there is nothing like wearing a brand new dress! I am amazed by people who manage to take selfies of nearly everything they do because in…

Tie (Up Loose Ends)
It is a bit as if 2018 is still going on here 😀 Still things to finish up from last year. If you remember this… … then maybe you also remember I had cut out a tie for my husband to wear on Christmas Day. And I did finish it minutes before we sat down…

I actually have cut out a…

Estonia 100 Dress
Hi! My home country Estonia celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 24th and if anything deserves a new dress, then it is this proud celebration day! I have been sewing a few things this year already but I must admit my sewing mojo is a bit down as I am quite tired in the evenings…

The Blue Gown
Hi! Would you believe that with all these years of sewing, I never made a maxi dress? This one is my first! I have a few ready-to-wear ones for summer, but generally I prefer to enjoy the warm weather in short and light clothes. There is only one maxi dress that I have worn to…

The Winter Sun Dress
Hi! This dress was supposed to be ready in fall, during the golden leaves season, but life happened and eventually I finished it in early December and even then without the flounces that I planned for the sleeves. The pattern is model 115 from Burdastyle 10/2017 but as you can see, I have skipped the…

The Teacher Dress
Hi! I don´t know what I would have called the dress myself, but my husband teased me when taking the photos that I look like a nerdy teacher in it! Given that I wore for a recent birthday party, it wasn´t the best thing to hear, but here it is anyway: The pattern is the…
