My fourth (and final) week of Me Made May

May 31, 2017

May is already gone! How on earth did this happen? It feels like yesterday when I started this challenge and now it's June? God, time really flies! Since Me Made May is over I thought before I showed you my outfits for the last week to do a review and a critique for myself. My pledge was to wear handmade clothes at least 3 times a week because first of all I thought I didn't have that many ... View Post

How I store my sewing patterns (new video)

May 27, 2017

If you are like me, you probably own a lot of sewing patterns, whether it's PDF or printed ones. Since my collection started growing I figured I had to find a way to organize them for various reasons. First of all, I was forgetting what patterns I owned and so I was making the same things over and over again. Second of all, they were starting to take too much space in our house. You can ...

My third week of Me Made May 2017

May 20, 2017

The third week of Me Made May was quite hard, I will admit that. I was running out of choices and the weather was horrible all week! It has been raining non stop and it's cold and muddy, the last thing I wanted to do when I got out of bed was to put on make up and get dressed. Anyway, I managed to wear me made outfits for this week as well and I really hope I can keep up with the fourth and last ... View Post

My Clemence skirt by Tilly and the Buttons

May 14, 2017

The first book I came across when I really got into dressmaking was Tilly's "Love at first stitch". I was literally seeing it everywhere, on blog posts, on Instagram, on everyone's book collection. So I decided I HAD to have it! Here in Greece we have to wait like 15 days to get a book from Amazon, but I'm telling you, this one was so worth the waiting! I call it my sewing bible, because it has ... View Post

My second week of Me Made May 2017

May 13, 2017

When I decided to join the Me Made May challenge for 2017 I'd never thought I could do two weeks of wearing me made outfits every single day. And not only that, but I managed to wear a different outfit each day so far, no repeats (except for my black Agnes top which I wore twice). How awesome is that? So far I've done much better than my pledge, which was to wear me made at least 3 times a week ... View Post
