The Hope Dress
Hi! One of the items I made just before the trip to Gran Canaria was the dress that seemingly half of Insta-sewists have made already – the Hope Dress from Style Arc. I remember being quite “meh” about it, but at some point when all of their dress patterns were discounted, I still grabbed one.…

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…

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…

Out Of The Closet: Taffeta Stripe Dress
When I saw this striped polyester tafetta fabric on a trip to Estonia back in 2010, the perfect pattern for it immediately popped up in my mind – Burda Easy Fashion spring/summer 2009 dress.
