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,

I did it! I made a coat!

Hello,

Hope you are well and had a good start of the year.

I am so happy and proud of the make I am sharing with you today! After quite a good time (at least for years) I finally made a coat. A proper winter coat!

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

You can read all about it here.

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

Happy sewing,

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.

It really is a lovely dress and I do hope you like it as much as I do!

Happy sewing,

Francesca Shirt

Hello,

Hope you are all well.

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!

I used a lovely linen, and you can read all about it here.

Hope you like it! I certainly do! 🙂

Happy sewing,

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.

Happy sewing,

Pink dress!

Hello,

Hope you are all well.

In case you did not know, Minerva recently released a new exclusive fabric range and it is beautiful and colourful!

I got the chance to try it and it did not disappoint. You can read all about what I made with it here.

The colours and drape are amazing!

It really is a nice viscose fabric!

How pretty is this neckline detail!

Hope you like it as much as I do. 🙂

Have a lovely week.

Another top for M

Hello,

Hope you are well.

Guess what? I made another top for M!

It is so pretty and we are both quite happy about how it turned out. 🙂

I used a gingham cotton from Minerva and you can read all about it here.

Also, I have used an adult pattern to make clothes for M! It is a bittersweet moment…

The sleeve! I said it was a pretty top!

Hope you like it! We certainly do!

Happy sewing!

A new pink outfit!

Hello,

Hope you are well.

Before starting with truly Summer makes I was glad to be able to make one more outfit that is perfect for Spring.

I used a beautiful corduroy to make an outfit. Trousers and a waistcoat.

You can read all about this outfit here and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Isn’t the fabric colour beautiful?

Have a lovely week. 🙂

Happy sewing!

New Skirt to welcome Spring!

Hello,

Hope you are all well.

It has been such a long time! I haven’t been sewing much lately and have been sharing even less. The world seems to be upside down and I find it hard to focus, to be honest.

I have another make to share with you but today I want to share the new skirt I made as part of Minerva’s challenge #SewnWithMcCalls.

You can read all about it here and I do hope you like it.

It really is a lovely pattern and the fabric is so pretty!

The pleats make the skirt drape so beautifully!

Hopefully, I will soon be sharing more projects with you. 🙂

Have a lovely rest of the week,

Maria x
