I like this method because the bag is lined, which gives a beautiful finish inside and outside 🙂 Required materials fabric ribbon Cutting scheme Below you will find a […]

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 […]
Handmade tote bag
I like large bags – you can carry all the “necessary” things with you and still have room for small shopping 🙂 I made this bag of polyester woven fabric in 3 colors. The fabric was laying around and I finally decided to use it, but I admit that it wasn’t the best choice. The […]
Purple bag and Vilene Decovil interfacing
You know this bag already 🙂 This is te same model as the green-navy blue one. Of course I used other fabrics, but it is not the only difference. The handbag was stiffen in a different way, so it gained a more box-like character. As a stiffening I used Vilene Decovil interfacing. This is a […]
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 […]

Crossbody, jeans-ish, sport bag
I started sewing accessories again. I sewed a square bag with piping, and zipper closure. It has a pocket on the front, and 3 pockets inside. The fabric, that this bag is made of, looks like jeans but really it is a polyester fabric intended for curtains. Maybe it’s not the perfect choice for sewing […]
Handmade beaded jewelry for allergy sufferers
I made a few necklaces for myself. I’ve always loved big earrings but unfortunately I can’t wear them anymore, so I’m trying to switch to necklaces. They have to be metal-free and it’s really hard to come by those.

Blue belted sweater
The sweater with a navy blue piping and a belt in the waist. I would probably sewn it differently now, but it is what it is. Generally it is quite comfortable to wear. Sewing this sweater I used a coverstitch for the first time and I hope it will get easier with time – I […]
