All about my sewing journey
This week I started a few projects for friends, so on what now became my project pouf, I'm currently having three men's shorts and one dress for a friend. I personally really enjoy to sew for others to the point that I actually ask people if they would like me to make them something. I…
Today is the first day of May, which means that Me Made May is starting today! This will be my first year participating, and I'm very intrigued by this challenge. I already wear the clothes that I made basically everyday, but I think it will be interesting to try and style them differently and see…
A couple of weeks ago I did my seasonal wardrobe switch over, and among a lot clothes that I was excited to wear again, a couple had some issues. The worse one was this jumpsuit (Vogue 9075), made in off-white linen. I think it's my first "one piece" make, and well I made a few…
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…

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…
