Spring in Paris – The Yellow Skirt
Hello! I spent the last week in Paris with my mother, a trip she had long wanted to make. As my employer decided generously to add one extra week of holidays to everyone in 2015, I thought it would be a good chance to use the extra week for the purpose of accompanying her and […]

Still Life Top in Amsterdam
I spent the last few days of 2014 in Amsterdam, which was a totally impulsive decision but I love to take advantage of great flight deals whenever possible. This short trip was all about wandering around the canal side streets and fabric shops, admiring van Gogh and struggling through the crowds at Rijksmuseum, so all […]

Hello, Africa!
Hey, everyone! It has been a while, but I haven´t been idle, as soon as I get some photos taken, I will be able to show you this year’s holiday party dress and there are some other projects on the verge of completion, too! But what I actually wanted to do today, was to share […]

Star Trekking in Germany
As you know, I recently spent a long weekend in Germany, namely Düsseldorf and Essen. The primary reason for such a destination was that after listening to flamenco/copla/soul/jazz singer Buika on YouTube over and over again, I realized at some point that I needed to go and listen to her live. There were more exotic […]

Greetings from Germany!
Hey there! I am currently spending a great long weekend in Germany, about which I will write next week, but I just had to share this: Yes, it is the November German issue of Burdastyle magazine and they have published my Plaid Peplum Bustier! I guess I don´t need to say how superhappy I am! So, […]

Portugal Fun
Hey everyone! I am back from my wonderful 10-day holiday to Portugal for nearly two weeks now and it feels like it all happened ages ago. Probably the autumn really kicking in here in Estonia makes it hard to believe that just some days ago I was sweating on a bicycle ride along the coast […]

Zig Zag Zipper Dress
Hey! I am usually not into using the same pattern repeatedly, but after stumbling upon some discounted bright turquoise blue double knit which I just had to have, I needed a simple pattern to show off the color and avoid visual overkill. I immediately thought of my Zig Zag Znake Dress and McCall´s pattern 6243, view […]

The Green Sweetheart Dress
Hey there! Just a few days ago I had a great opportunity to visit Padise, one of Estonia´s many manors and enjoy a concert in the ruins of a monastery nearby. For that event I finally managed to finish a dress that I had started exactly a year ago! I don´t know how it happened […]

Fabric Shopping in Vienna
Although it seems that this year Estonia forgot to apply for summer weather and we have watched the whole June go by pretty much like October, there have been so many things to do that I haven´t even had the time to say a few words about the rest of the trip to Vienna in […]

Discovering Stockholm
Last weekend I had a chance to briefly visit Stockholm. My mom and her two friends needed a fourth person to fill the cabin for a short cruise to Stockholm and I thought some fabric shopping in Sweden wouldn´t hurt, so I joined in. I have visited Stockholm before and seen or visited the main […]
