Hey guys. Sooo … I don’t know how many times I have written about life changes within the past 24 months. And as life would have it, there’s another big change coming round the corner. I spent the last few days basically going through decision-hell and it was incredibly hard, but I will be moving to a new place at the beginning of next year. It’s the same city and […]
Happy New Year, folks! I don’t want to start the year all silently, so here’s a small post to wrap up the past year and show you at least some photos of sewing things.
Back when I started this blog (which feels like forever ago), I started a rather half-assed series on sewing room planning that I never gave any updates to. There’s a variety of reasons for that (the room was super small, the lighting wasn’t ideal for photos, I just forgot), but the main reason is that my sewing room was a constant work in progress. It didn’t feel complete until a […]
Hi everyone, how’s it going? I hope you’re all well. So, you probably haven’t noticed (I’m pretty sure you have plenty other sources of entertainment) and when I started this blog, I swore to myself not to write a sentence like this, but I really am a little sorry for not having blogged in a while. I’ve been really good at keeping a consistant blog schedule ever since I started […]
March has been such an exciting month! It was semester break month and even though I still had a lot of school work to do, I managed to squeeze in some blogging, photography and of course, sewing. Here’s a small roundup of what’s been going on lately: Sewing My sewing machine was broken and had to be repaired so I spent two weeks cutting and pattern drafting. I finally drafted […]
Wow. 2016 is just about four weeks old and things are already going crazy around here. So please forgive me if this post is a little late. Before january is over and publishing a roundup like this becomes absolutely ridiculous, I just want to take a moment to look back at my five favourite makes from 2015. Sewing-wise, it’s been my most successful year so far (18 sewn and 6 […]
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the holidays and had an amazing New Year’s celebration. I spent the last few days visiting friends in London which was beyond awesome. The city, the people, the pubs, the accent – I’m in love! I even managed to pay a short visit to Goldhawk Road and MacCulloch & Wallis. Then on New Year’s Eve we went to see the Fireworks on the […]
Within the last few years, my christmas wishes have completely shifted from books, movies and clothes to fabric, yarn and sewing magazines. For this year I illustrated my wishlist. I also added a few more beautiful things just for fun. Most of the […]
Sometimes, when you start your first project in a craft that’s new to you, you think of all the things that can go wrong. But then once you’re at it, it all comes naturally. You push through the challenging task and come out on the other side, smiling, with a beautiful project in your hands. Well, this was none of those times. Let me tell you the story of the […]
Sorry for the short post. The end of my semester at design school is nearing and there’s no time to photograph projects just yet. I’m dying to get back into blogging and sewing like a madwoman, but that will have to wait another two weeks. Some stuff that’s been going on lately …
Long time no see. The last weeks felt pretty strange as I was deep down in a sewing slump. This has never happened before, but somehow when I came home in the evening I didn’t feel like sewing. Then yesterday, all of a sudden, it finally hit me again and I spent the entire evening happily sewing. Now I’m eager to finish my work-in-progress-since-june Victoria blazer (see above) before I get […]
Life is pretty quiet lately and it feels so good. April will be filled with work and new experiences, so I’m enjoying the downtime. I even signed up for a small sewing class. It’s going to be exciting to learn something new and probably meet one or the other local sewers. Some other things that have been going on lately: …
