Out Of The Closet: Fur Vest
Hi from Estonia! Yes, this is the huge change in my life that I mentioned in my previous post! It is hard for me to write about it, without sharing too many personal details, but I guess I owe an explanation, why the background of my photos will be somewhat different from what you would…

Out Of The Closet: Bow Tie Blouse
This blog was not started the day I made my first garment and therefore there are quite a few items in my closet that I have made some time ago already, but nevertheless love to wear and share with you. As I am in the middle of a huge change in my life (post about…

Stefania´s Dress
Yesterday was a big day! Stefania came over to get her dress, that has actually been finished for some time now, we just didn´t have the chance to meet. As during the whole process she tried it on only twice, you can imagine how my hands were shaking when she slipped into it and I…

Fabric Shops in Athens
Yesterday a funny coincidence occurred – at some point during the day I had the idea of helping travelling sewists, who would like to buy some fabric on their trip to Athens, by giving directions to the relevant shops. And as I checked the statistics of my blog later on, I saw that someone had…

Burda Colourblock Dress
In winter and early spring we had a very rough time because of a serious health issue in the family and the general situation in crisis-hit Greece, so I didn´t have the time and energy even to look at Burda Style magazines for a couple of months, and of course when I finally came around,…
