In February, I had an opportunity to go to a wedding, so I decided to sew a dress. The dress was supposed to have a simple silhouette, with an asymmetric neckline to be its main feature. A piece of cake, right? Sewing the dress was more difficult than I would like, but at least it’s […]

Kitchen Apron With a Touch of Retro Style
This is the first apron I’ve made in my life 😀 It was a Christmas gift, so I wanted to make sure it stood out a little from those available in stores. The cotton with English roses print fitted perfectly to this project, and gently flared bottom gave it a feminine touch. I finished the […]
Blue and gray knitted dress
I recently sewed my first knitted dress – I was missing a casual, comfy dress in my closet. I wanted the dress to be rather loosely fitted but not baggy, because these kinds of clothes don’t look good on me. I didn’t want to disturb the print on the fabric with cuts, so I ended […]
Is it gothic or folk?
Number of photos in today’s post will probably be proportional to the amount of work put into sewing on these ribbons 😛 I mostly sew for myself but sometimes it’s nice to make an exception, and try to materialize someone else’s idea. This skirt was a pretty big challenge, but also a creative and fun […]
A-line button down marine skirt
I know what you’ll think – I’m cheating again. Guilty as charged – another skirt sewn by my friend Ania, but this is the last one. I think, however, that you won’t hold it against me, because things made by Ania are beautifully finished and really nice to look at 🙂 The skirt is kept […]
Half circle skirt with green wave
Another skirt added to my collection, and another project where I was more helping than actually sewing it. Similar to the skirt with a folk embroidery, this skirt’s pattern was drafted by me but it was sewn by my friend – Ania. This time I decided to add a little bit of craziness, I think […]
Classic skirt with folk embroidery
I’ve got a friend who is really experienced seamstress. Since she lives in a different city I don’t visit her often, but when I do I always go back home with something new 🙂 This time I wanted a black, classic skirt with a vertical stripe in a contrasting color. During cutting however, I changed […]
Trapezoid skirt – perfect choice for beginners
Trapezoid skirt is one of the most beginner-friendly models out there. The main reason is that we need to fit it only on a very short distance, which does not leave much room for mistakes. It was a quick project, despite the fact that I had to once again secure all the edges with interfacing […]
Asymmetric, A-line, wrap skirt
My latest skirt sewn and designed by me. Asymmetric with extended back and A-line shape – all that I like the most. I think this model is really flattering for my pear-shaped body type. I used thicker polyester fabric for this skirt. The fabric is really nice but quite difficult to use because it isn’t […]
Black cardigan with faux leather pockets
A very versatile piece of garment. It looked good as a vest too. I want to share a tutorial with you which covers drafting the pattern and sewing this cardigan. The tutorial will be split into 3 sections, and I will post the first one soon 🙂 Update: first part of the tutorial – how […]
