Birthday Girl
Today is my birthday! Yesterday I met my friend Stefania in order to go fabric shopping. She wants me to make her a dress for her sisters wedding! This is so important that I get anxious when I think about it and I have given her many warnings and no guarantees, because I am not…

The “Wedding Dress”
I cannot find a better name for this dress, because it was made for a wedding where I had the honour to be among the guests and because both, the bride and the groom, Tiina and Paap are my good friends and I was as excited as the bride, I guess. As always, everything starts…

What Are You Doing Tonight?
I am drooling over my early birthday present from my fiance’ s brother, D. We were shopping for the christening we have all been invited for tomorrow and as he wanted to take a look around the bookstore to get a break from all the baby stuff, I also wandered around between the shelves. I…

Holidays And Some Missing Buttons
Hello from Athens! I hope the contents of this blog will soon match its title – all the photos and the majority of the garments so far have been made in Estonia during my three-month long holiday. Now I am back in Athens, but I don’t know when I will be able to show something…

Laura´s Dress
I don´t know what it is with the hobby sewists, but most of them seem to be selfish folks. Me included.

The Wilma Flintstone Dress
Before starting on Simplicity 2178, I googled around to see what others have made with the same pattern and stumbled upon The Muslinette, and this post, which made me laugh out loud. I am copying this smart observation here: Since I have already made one similar dress before, I decided to avoid the shoulder strap altogether,…

Fabric Shopping…
… is an addiction. I thought only my fiancé and family knows HOW bad it is, but as it turns out, it stopped being a secret long ago and I realized it today, when a friend of mine posted this on my Facebook wall:

Love Copenhagen
The trip to Copenhagen was a dream. Not so much for me as a hobby sewist, but I had a terrific time with my friends and eventually fell in love with the city as well. Which seemed impossible on the first day, because it started to rain very hard just about 10 minutes before we…
