My Florence Kimono by Sew Caroline

June 5, 2017

This season I see Kimonos everywhere I look! They are one of the trends for the summer and I have to say I'm really excited about that because they have been part of my wardrobe for the last 2 years.

My Lulu dress from Sew Over It

June 1, 2017

The Lulu dress was the latest release of Sew Over It's pdf club and the minute I got the e-mail I knew I had to get this pattern. It's something about 1960's fashion that I find really appealing and this loose fitting shift dress is perfect for my style. I was lucky to find the perfect fabric at my local fabric shop for this dress, a very very soft cotton in navy blue with little white ... View Post
