I am crazy about border prints. And I am crazy about black and white graphics. So you can imagine my joy when I found this gem of a fabric at a local shop. The white pattern is actually made appliqued fabric that is stitched onto the…

I have been a bit busy sewing lately. Though not much to show for yet, I am mostly drafting and testing new patterns, but this weekend I finished an apron skirt that I’m really happy about. I have had this…
I can safely say that this is something of a style departure for me, even though I have always liked black and white and graphic prints. For one thing it’s a more mature look, plus I feel super rich in…
Once it was just a collar, but now it’s a proper blouse. It all started with the grey entredeaux ribbon that I found in a local shop. Then I sort of played around with the design until I was happy.…

Been a bit of an absent blogger this week. The reason is that I’ve been busy excersising, prepping for a 5K race tomorrow. And clearly I am not able to concentrate on both excerising and blogging simultaneously! When I get…
Apart from a final fitting tomorrow before I sew the zipper in properly, the bridal dress is finally finished! Things has gone really well all in all, but I totally underestimated how difficult and time consuming it is to make a corseted full…
For the first time in ages I have actually sewn something from a pattern company. The cardigan pattern is from the April 2010 issue of Burda magazine. After learning about the Burda drama, I went on a download binge on…
