Learning to Smock

October 31, 2017October 31, 2017 Ana Sofia14 Comments

Disclaimer: I wasn’t sure if I should share my recent experiments with smocking. It’s still a learning process and there are various flaws in my work – the projects presented bellow are far from being perfect, still, I decided to go ahead and take this opportunity to learn more from my talented readers. Do share… Continue reading Learning to Smock

The Rushbrook Dress and Top is not new to me – I was part of the testing group and managed to sew a top, which has been in heavy rotation (you can check it here) and a dress (not blogged), so when Laura invited me for her Rushbrook Pattern Tour, I was happy to give it another try. While… Continue reading The Rushbrook pattern tour

Rushbrook Dress and Top

September 20, 2017 Ana Sofia5 Comments

I’ve wrote before about the challenges of sewing for “my big” girl – it’s difficult to find a balance between my preferences and her desire to make a (fashion) statement with her clothing. Some days are difficult than others (I’m actually glad she’s still wearing a uniform to school) – if she could have her… Continue reading Rushbrook Dress and Top

Arlow Dress

August 17, 2017August 18, 2017 Ana Sofia3 Comments

There’s a new pattern from Bebekins – the Arlow dress and I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do 🙂 Faithful to her style, Diorella designed a classic dress with lots of options and details: 4 necklines, 5 collars, and 3 sleeve options to choose from. Plus, there’s a tie back option, that is so… Continue reading Arlow Dress

I’ve blogged about the new Geneva Cardigan by Coffee&Thread before – love it!!, so obviously, I couldn’t say no to the Geneva Cardigan Tour that started earlier this week. For testing purposes, I was asked to sew the pattern using both the ruffled collar and the ruffled sleeves – although I loved the result –… Continue reading The Geneva Cardigan Tour

The Bebekins Patterns by Diorella were a recent discovery and I was immediately captured by their vintage design. I purchased her first pattern – Polly pinafore, as soon as it was released and I loved it (obviously, it will take me longer to share my version here 😉 ). Anyway, soon after Polly’s released, Diorella started working… Continue reading Robin Ruffle Dress

Olga from Coffee+Thread just released a new cardigan pattern and it’s really worth a try ❤ The Geneva Cardigan is suited to both girls and boys (there are so many options for collars and sleeves to choose from) – and even for us, if you happen to wear a smaller/petite size, which I actually do… Continue reading The Geneva Cardigan
