Pepita, my Love!
Hi! There are some colors that always catch my attention and I find it hard to say no to – such as olive/khaki green, navy and some shades of pink – and there are prints/patterns that have the same effect on me – stripes and pepita (aka houndstooth). I feel like any fabric with this…

The (First) Jumpsuit
Hi! The very last item I finished before my holidays was something that I had never made before – a jumpsuit! I am not even sure why it took me so long to make one since I like how they look on other people (most of the times). Probably one of the thoughts holding me…

A Dress of Two Summers
Hi! As I type this, it is a rather gloomy, windy and cold day outside with occasional rain. We had an abnormally hot June and July and then August has been somewhat of a disappointment. Therefore I look at these photos with a bittersweet feeling as it seems that another summer has come to its…

Vogue 8829 revisited
Hi! You may remember my recent black embroidered cotton dress and how happy I was with the pattern. In fact, I immediately decided that I will repeat the pattern so soon that I didn´t even put it away from my sewing table. I didn´t have a certain fabric in mind but it came to me…

Black Carrot Black Dress

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,…

Baby Sewing
Hi! I wasn´t sure when writing my last post, whether I will make anything at all during this time, but as a surprise even to myself, I have made something I never thought I would make – a patchwork quilt blanket for our baby…..girl, if the doctors know what they are saying! The reason why…

Stripes N´ Roses Top in London
Hi all! It looks to me that its a current big thing to have embroidered roses or whatever other embroidered patches on clothes and when I finally decided to realize my idea of sewing an off-the-shoulder black and white striped top, I thought it would be a fun detail to add. The idea of such…

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…

The Ludovico Dress
Hi! Some of you might recall that I am quite a fan of Ludovico Einaudi and that I have been to his concert in Kopenhagen a few years back. I was totally impressed so when my friends told me that he will perform on May 6th as close as in Helsinki, I got the tickets…
