Bright green? Why not! 🙂 The weather encourages to reach for fabrics in bolder colors. I’ve made this bag from a green faux leather and a cotton woven fabric from Robert Kaufman’s “Fancy Flight” collection. I had trouble with finding a leather thread in the matching color, but the white one works really well. This […]

Green Dress and the Struggle With Gravity
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 […]
Mini Bow Tie – Sewing Tutorial for Scrap Busters
Like everything else, men’s fashion evolves too. Men much more often these days choose to diversify their outfits, even if it’s a formal wear. Mini bow tie pin is only one of the examples. While not many of you probably would take a shot at sewing a men’s jacket, you can sneak in a little […]
Sew with me oven mitts – tutorial + free pattern
I’ve seen many tutorials for oven mitts on the Internet but the vast majority leave visible seams inside. Surely it’s a faster way, but I like when my sewn things are finished nicely. So today I’ll show you how to sew these gloves in a little different way 🙂 You will need: outer fabric – […]
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 […]

Today will be short – a new handbag, how do you like it? I used Ikea cotton and added dark blue faux leather. I think it looks quite unique. The bag is perfect size – not too big, not too small. There is a pocket with a zipper and two patch pockets inside. It has […]
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.
Green and black dress
I made this dress for a wedding. It’s made of viscose fabric in two colors. I drafted the pattern myself and, as usual, I would change a few things now 🙂 There are some creases on the back that I couldn’t get rid of. Some day I will sew a perfect fitted garment for myself! […]
Green skirt with a black, elastic belt
I never wear skirts, but maybe it’s time to start doing so. I must admit that skirts and dresses are great in summer time. This skirt may look a little bit too childish, but I like it. It’s just a rectangle gathered in the waist by an elastic belt. Green cotton that I’ve used has […]
Small, mint bag with flower applique
I’ve made this bag from a faux suede in a light green color. I’m not fully satisfied with the applique, but it doesn’t look bad either 🙂
