I’m not sure how’s the weather outside your window, but from where I’m standing is looks like Spring is a bit late .. Obviously I’m not complaining (despite the 2, soon to be 3, weeks of never-stop raining …), as I know the changing of the seasons can be unpredictable 😦 Still, and as far as sewing… Continue reading (Belated) Ainsley Blouse
During the Christmas break I had the chance to organize both my fabric stash (way out of control, but I’m totally hopeless in this matter) and my sewing pattern’s stash. I wasn’t surprised to see that my fabric stash is getting a bit out of control (too many cuts and prints that don’t fit my sewing… Continue reading Classic style | Adelaide
Today I’m showing an outfit that almost didn’t make it here. It was one of my first projects this fall (earlier October) but because it was too hot then to wear it I didn’t take an pictures at the time. When the weather finally cooled down a bit and my girl finally got to wear… Continue reading On Coordinating …
I might just as well face it: I sew faster than I blog 🙂 Just kidding, of course, but that could help to explain why I have so many projects in the pipeline (waiting to be blogged). The weather is still quite nice around here (if you consider the fact that winter is fast approaching) and my kids… Continue reading Last year favorites (still going strong)
Tell me this also happens to you: You got yourself a new pattern but you don’t have a clue on how to start it. Every single piece of fabric in your stash just doesn’t seem right for it and even after seeing some great versions from other persons, you still can’t make it happen! This… Continue reading A peasant-style tiered dress anyone ?
Summer holiday is almost here (at least for us) … We still have a few working days ahead of us, but within a few days, we’ll be enjoying a couple of weeks as a family making the most of these days together 🙂 So, I’ve been busy sewing a few extra things that are “truly necessary”… Continue reading A perfect sundress
There were a couple of patterns I knew I wanted to sew for KWC: Children’s Corner Frannie (dress) was definitively on the top of my list. KCW recommends to sew for 1 hour/day and I knew I would be able to complete this dress within that time frame (yes, that’s as simple especially if you… Continue reading Day Three: KCW July 2014
After the enthusiastic reception my girl gave the Laura dress (here), I was highly motivated to sew the top version. I selected the unlined short sleeve top version and one of my favorite summer fabric combo: seersucker and Liberty (scraps from two previous projects. Barely enough for the top). Despite my planning, as soon as the weather warms… Continue reading As promised … the Laura top
Several weeks ago, I was the lucky winner of the Frannie Challenge in the Sew Classic for Children (a Facebook secret group). I won a generous gift certificate from The Children’s Corner Store. Nevertheless, the lovely (and very talented) Lezette Thomanson was kind enough to include a few extra treats in my package. It included several lovely patterns for my… Continue reading Perfect prize: The Laura Dress
After this dress, I still managed to find a bit of time (late, very late) to sew another dress during KCW week. What I did struggle to find was time (and proper light) to document it … I had fell in love with the lines of one the latest Children’s Corner releases, the Poppy dress… Continue reading Belated KCW Spring 2014
