A navy style handmade outfit

July 28, 2017

A few weeks ago we received a wedding invitation from a friend and the day before her wedding she was throwing a pool party. The dress code for it was "navy style". As you probably noticed by looking at my outfit photos, I love wearing blue and navy style clothes are one of my favorites! I could have chosen something from my wardrobe, but I really wanted to sew something new, just for the ... View Post

My favorite sewing patterns for July

July 22, 2017

But I wanted to make myself a new dress just ... View Post

I know I haven't posted a fabric haul since... March, but things have been so crazy around here that I really didn't have the time to film a video. Another reason that prevented me from filming is that I am really disappointed in my equipment, the quality of the image and the sound are not good at all. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to upgrade right now so we'll have to make do with what I ... View Post

My Tierras Woven Joggers by Itch to Stitch

July 13, 2017

Do you remember my blog post about my favorite patterns back in May? I was saying that I really wanted to make a pair of simple trousers for summer. The truth is I mostly wear dresses when it's hot, but there are sometimes when I prefer something a bit easier to put on. Two years ago I purchased a pair of plain navy blue trousers made of a linen fabric that I wore to death and I was looking for a ... View Post
