All about my sewing journey
Weirdly enough I only made one skirt until now, and it was for a friend. I don't wear skirts often and I think I only have two in my wardrobe (now three!). A couple of months ago, while I was planning my spring-summer makes, I stumble upon this fabric on Minerva. It's a royal blue…
What do you make when you have leftover fabric? As I mentioned I'm trying to reduce my fabric stash and while I figure out a way to avoid leftovers for new projects, I still have fabric that I'd like to use up leftover from older projects. This month I focused on using up a couple…

I'll start by saying that I love this dress. The fabric is gorgeous, lightweight not see-through and the shape is timeless (at least for me). If you read last week's post this was in my plans for this month, and I decided to start with the dress because the weather seemed perfect for it. Seemed...because…
This past week has been busier than usual for me so I decided to take some time to plan what to make next month, and reorganise my fabric stash. I finally received my order of fabric for my spring plans, but I also noticed that I have some leftover fabric that I'd like to use…
My birthday will be next week, but my family's gift arrived in the mail in advance! I have a serger!!! I had to test and try as much as possible, experimenting with it and basically opening a whole new Pandora's vase of sewing possibilities. I made projects with knit fabric before, but I always wanted…
In my last blogpost on my Spring Summer Sewing plans you might have noticed that I'm planning to introduce some bright colors in my wardrobe. I don't remember having ever had a pair of red pants, but I decided to make a pair and see how wearable and "matchable" they'll be. My inspiration was this:…
I started planning for Spring around Christmas break, and now that the weather seems to get warmer and warmer I'm very excited to sew my homemade Spring wardrobe. Even if I already had some ideas, I decided to participate to the Design Your Wardrobe class available on Seamwork (I'm a Seamwork member). I really enjoyed…
This past week was my friend's Ogulcan birthday and I always try to make something handmade as small gift. We, my boyfriend and I (he actually helped for this project), decided for a hat. The pattern I made this hat before for my boyfriend in a wool tweed, but we choose a summer version made…
This was a little bit of an impulse sewing project, usually I have a sewing list that I update every time I have a new idea, but I wanted to spend some time making my ideal tailored pants. I bought the Sasha trousers pattern when Closet Core Patterns had their sales last winter, but ended…

A couple of weeks ago I learned about the Pigeon Wishes instagram party for Galentine's day 2021. The idea is to celebrate Galentine's day by making something red/pink and have an excuse to be involved in a social event even if I'm not going anywhere. "This is all about living joyfully, in colours that reflect…
