My Gingham Dress (and some rant)
Hi! I wanted to write this post a few days ago already but got caught in a complete mess that resulted in the changed look and unfortunately missing features of my blog. But first things first, my new (and already in frequent use) dress! I used the Style Arc Clementine pattern for a lilac embroidered…

The Feathery Blouse
Hi! If you follow my IG account, you have probably seen a glimpse of this already: It´s a simple blouse, the pattern is from Burdastyle 11/2013, model 103. As you can see, it is pretty straightforward, no careful fitting or special techniques required. The cuffs could be a bit wider because as they are now,…

The Swing Set
The month of December has literally rushed by and although I managed to finish a set of a skirt and top plus a dress, there hasn´t been enough time and daylight to take any decent photos of the projects. I will show the first items first and it may easily happen that the dress will be…

Baby Blue Stripe Dress in Berlin
Hello! As I mentioned in my previous post, this year is rich in travels and the trip of July took me to the German capital, Berlin. I have visited Berlin twice before, the last time being 15 years ago and the first when I was only seven years old. I still remember the wall that…

Zig Zag Znake Dress
Hey! I usually don´t care too much about season´s trends, I just sew and wear whatever I fancy at the moment. But occasionally I also seem to hit the current trends. The last surprise was an email alert from an online shoe store announcing that this autumn, animal prints and snake skin effect are back…

The Blue Rose Skirt and Top
This is sort of Out Of The Closet series of post, because the corset top was finished last summer in Athens! The skirt was also cut out while still living in Greece and laid all winter in my drawer until I finally got to it again a few weeks ago. It all started with using…

Out Of The Closet: Little House On The Prairie Tunic
I haven´t mentioned it here, but although I currently live in my homeland Estonia, I don´t live in my hometown. My home at the moment is in a tiny seaside town with a population of 11 000 people. Coming from the overcrowded city of Athens, the change is really huge. It has its downsides as…

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…
