Very warm welcome to my blog! It happened so that in addition to all proper life activities, like full time job and time with the family, I learnt to sew and can’t stop ever since. I am writing posts more or less every two weeks, so make sure to subscribe for updates and come back for more!

Floral silk blouse
I had a tough time in choosing what to work on next after my somewhat lukewarm fluffy sweater project. My ideas were wandering from tweed jacket to jeans, then to trench coat. The spring had sort of started, and yet now quite – it would be sunny more often, but still really cold. And I…

I did continue working with knits – keep trying to get to love them 🙂 While on the trip to the fabric store for the previous Nikko dress, I grabbed this wool blend knit fabric meant for sweaters. I have wanted to try out Marlo sweater pattern by True Bias for a long while, and…

My sewing plans
After four years of active sewing I’ve now become quite a bit more clever with my choices. Arguably, enough judgment mistakes have been made to learn few important things – fabric must work really well for a particular pattern and there’s very little point in making stupid stuff. So this year I feel I’ve positioned myself pretty well for a considerate sewing journey.
With spring approaching I’d like to make a pink trench coat. Then, as always, I want to make few jackets or blazers, and yes – shirts. Having purchased a brand new coverstitch machine I’m planning to work more with jersey this year – let’s see how that’ll go! And for early summer – no dresses and instead shorts and perhaps a vest are in plans. Really looking forward to seeing whether or not I will be able to keep myself in check 🙂
