  • Majorelle and the Chewing Gum Trick

    Majorelle and the Chewing Gum Trick

    Hi! The fresh new pattern from Itch to Stitch, the Majorelle is here! I tested it and I am glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried the ruffled collar version. Shop the pattern HERE. The fabric may look like thin denim or lyocell, but it is actually a blend of viscose and…

    It’s beginning to look a lot like..

    Hi! Same procedure as every year, I have made myself a holiday party outfit, this time again a dress. To be honest, about 10 years ago all I wanted to sew were party dresses but now that I make an estimated 95% of my wardrobe, I enjoy sewing everyday stuff so much more that I…

    Yellow Leather Project Bag

    Hi! Two years ago I attended a lingerie course by https://www.studiocostura.com/ and we have kept contact since then. I think as we get older, making new friends gets more difficult and the fact that we are connected through the same passion for sewing makes me really happy. This week that is coming to an end…

  • Wedding Bells

    Wedding Bells

    Hi! We had the honour of being invited to a wedding last weekend and the bride specifically asked all the ladies to dress in pink. Luckily I have no problem with that colour so I enjoyed the task of making a wedding guest dress for that occasion. My dress is not exactly Barbie pink but…

  • Summertime Mix

    Summertime Mix

    Hi! Hopefully I will be able to make up for the recent quiet time here by showing you three new items in one post. First up is the brand new Nosara pattern by Itch to Stitch patterns that I tested. It beautifully pulls this summery set together in my opinion. If you want it with…

  • My Lilac Love

    My Lilac Love

    Hi! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that not everything I sew makes it way to the blog and some not even to Instagram. But I had the inspiration and bought the fabric already a year ago, spent months on and off this project and battled the Burda magazine’s written only instructions (especially…

    Striking Stripes

    Hi! I feel like I am running out of title ideas for striped stuff… as well as stuff that involves ties! So here is the newest Itch to Stitch pattern Tustin which has both! As you know, I have been testing for Itch to Stitch for a while now and this was another test. To…

    Rise and Shine

    Hi! Thanks for all the supportive feedback on my last post! Today I want to document a few words about my new morning robe. Mainly a note to myself that when the new one gets worn out, I would remember to copy the old one because to be honest I love it more! I thought…

  • The Drama of the Little Grey Wrap Top

    The Drama of the Little Grey Wrap Top

    Hi! I actually did not plan to write a blog post about this top at all, but the drama around it made me change my mind. To start from the beginning, I ordered this mini cable knit jersey a while ago and expected it to be more “knit” and less jersey. So when it arrived,…
