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…

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…

The Tie Blouse
Hi! With little Liisa-Mai around, my wardrobe choices have become somewhat limited as there are too many boxes to be ticked – the garment has to fit reasonably in the bust, fit reasonably in the belly area; be breastfeeding friendly and finally, be suitable for the occasion! I realized how few of my clothes are…

Stripes N´ Roses Top in London

Hi! I remember when I first saw the model 116 top in Burdastyle 3/2017, I thought: “Gee, I love it, but I would never bother to cut and sew all those bands!”. But the design stuck in my head and a little later I realized I had the perfect fabric for it ready in stash.…

Sailor Top
Hello! I have been enjoying my Colour Clash Top so much that I decided to make another version of it. Who would have thought! As you know, the pattern is model 130 from Burdastyle 9-2012. This time, I gathered both sideseams of the top. I am not really sure if it was a good idea…

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: Heart Shape Button Dress
One day I was scrolling through my blog (which I have been keeping now for a year already!) and discovered a dress I had kind of forgotten about. I promised to write a post about it back in September, but never got to it, one reason being that I moved to Estonia shortly afterwards and…

My New Friend
When I got home today, someone I had been expecting for a week already, had arrived. She was patiently waiting by the stairs and I was very happy to find her there. My dressmaker´s dummy! I had wanted it for a long time, but three things had to happen in order to finally go for…
