Most of the garments I sew require fittings and adjustments. I like those tasks, but sometimes it's also nice to sew something very simple and straightforward. This gathered dress was exactly this type of a project.
Lingerie is still not my most common make, but I do love sewing luxurious sets. The Mara bralette and Watson panties are my latest ones and even though I’m very happy with them, it’s not my favourite one so far.
You can never have too many vintage style summer dresses. That must be the reason why every new warm season I add at least one new design to my wardrobe!
I’m obsessed with classy wool dresses. I tend to avoid wrap designs though, because they create an unflattering gap that’s impossible to avoid by adjusting the pattern. My research showed that there’s one pattern that doesn’t have this problem and it’s a vintage one as well.
Each winter I just can’t resist the temptation of adding a new wool dress to my wardrobe. And what can be more traditional and cosy than a nice tartan? That’s exactly what I thought when I picked this wool fabric.
There are certain prints that I simply have to have in my wardrobe. And if my favourite winter outfits are more about checks, summer ones are all about floral and fruit prints. A lemon dress was on my wish list for a while, but I couldn’t find the appropriate fabric for years.
A traditional shirt is a staple of a men’s wardrobe. Made in a light pale colour, it can become the most worn outfit be it for a formal occasion or smart casual reasons, be it with a tie or jacket, or even with rolled-up sleeves. But it all starts with a perfect pattern.
