Creating beautiful dresses without any specific event in mind is a true pleasure for me. Working with luxurious fabrics and honing my couture skills is a therapeutic experience. This latest dress project was particularly enjoyable, even though it did not require any new techniques.

It has finally happened for the first time after over 10 years of sewing. A burnout.

I usually don't get excited about any of the Pinterest fashion trends, but this is the one I couldn't resist - the famous Ganni blouse with bodice ties! I did tweak it into a dress that matched my style though.

I wanted to sew a Christmas dress for quite a few years, but always skipped it in favour of other projects. This year I finally accomplished it with one of my favourite patterns (a hacked version, of course) and a lovely cotton lawn tartan.

Some garments take forever to finish due to the complexity of their design. But the sewing of super easy makes can be completed a year later too, which is what happened to this Burda Style dress.

When a great fabric shop creates their own line of one of your favourite types of fabric you know that you have to try it! I picked a bright floral print for my first postpartum dress.

Over the years I figured out that viscose challis dresses are the most versatile garments for my wardrobe. They’re perfect for the summer thanks to their breathability, but also great for winter if worn with warm tights.
Lyra dress by Tilly and the buttons was the perfect choice for me for an extra reason - it’s fantastically quick and easy to make.
