New blouse ready for Spring!

Hello,

Hope you are well.

I cannot wait for Spring! In fact, I started to sewing for warmer weather already.

There is a new blouse in my wardrobe, with ruffles and pintucks, ready for Spring days.

All the details are here, if you want to know more about it. 🙂

Aren’t the details lovely?

I still have one coat to finish before closing completely Winter sewing however, I really am looking forward to making all the blouses and dresses!

Have a lovely week,

It really is a lovely coat, don’t you agree?

I will be warm and cosy for the rest of Winter! 🙂

Christmas Dress!

Hello,

Hope you are all well.

Christmas is fast approaching and although the house is not yet decorated and the presents are not all bought, I do have a Christmas dress!

Made the dress using a very soft velvet in a very beautiful teal shade and you can read all about it here.

You know how much I like ruffles, right? Guess what? I made a blouse with ruffles! No surprise here, I know but it is a lovely blouse, nonetheless.

It is a beauty, isn’t it? Look at that ruffle!

New dress for Autumn

Hello,

Hope you are well.

Today I am sharing the first dress I made for Autumn. Well, I confess the colours are not very season adequate however, I am not quite ready to let Summer go…

Nonetheless, it is a beautiful dress, and you can read all about it here.

The fabric is really beautiful, and the pattern details make the fit perfect.

New Winter Dress

Hello,

Hope you are all well and having a good start of December.

I have been wanting to make a dress suitable for the colder months for a while and I finally did it.

Again, I have used the McCalls 7973 however, this time in a different style.

This time I used a Viscose and adore the drape and how fluid it is.

The necktie is such a pretty detail!

You can read all about it here.

Hope you like it. 🙂

Have a lovely December!

A new Summer Dress!

Hello,

Hope you are all well.

Here we are in September already! I am still holding on to these last Summer days… Today I have a new Summer dress to share with you and although the weather already looks a bit like Autumn, I still have a couple of Summer projects that I am working on.

About the dress I will be sharing today… it might be the perfect Summer dress, in my opinion of course. 🙂 But if you know me, you will know how much I like broderie anglaise.

I like everything about this dress. From the fabric to the lovely details!

Hope you like it as much as I do 🙂

Happy sewing,
