That´s Sew Cinematic: Hudsucker Proxy
I can’t believe it’s June already, and I haven’t shown you any of my Sew Cinematic creations! Just a little recap, my inspiration for this sew-along looks a little something like this: So far, I have made the cropped jacket from Hudsucker Proxy and the shirt and trousers from The Last Time I Saw Paris. All…

Hi all! Me-Made May´12 is over, and I hope to get back to regular blogging soon! Only thing I didn´t take into consideration before I signed up to Me-Made May this year, was that I would be painting furniture and a terrace this month. For that I didn´t wear me-mades. I don´t have any me-mades…

If anyone´s wondering where I am at, check out the Me-Made-May 2012 flickr group, and there you´ll find me! I thought I´d share some of my outfits with you here on the blog as well, and I´ve put together a collage of the first couple of weeks. If you click on the image it´ll take…

During the last couple of months I haven´t been able to show you much of anything I´ve been sewing. Because I have a neck problem, my computer time has been limited for work only, but I am slowly getting better, and hope to return to “regular schedule” during the next couple of months. Speaking of…

As you might see from the picture above, I have cheated. I just didn’t feel like wearing a skirt today, and so I didn’t. I’ ve been doing some cleaning and I’ve tried to organize my closet today, and frankly, wearing a skirt just wasn’t that practical! 🙂 We’ll see what tomorrow brings!

I don’ t think I’ve mentioned that I’m taking part in the One Week, One Pattern challenge. A bunch of sewers are wearing garments that are different versions of the same pattern for one whole week. I have chosen a pencil skirt pattern from BurdaStyle Magazine, pattern number 107 from the 2011 February issue, to…
Read MoreThat´s Sew Cinematic: The plan.
So, a little late in the Cinematic Sewing Game, I return with some plans for my spring sewing. According to the meteorologists, the weather in Sweden is three weeks early, and we are experiencing some wonderfully sunny and warm days. Maybe it´s time to bring out the summer wardrobe? Or maybe it´s time to make some spring-y…
Read MoreMarkal/Shiva Paint Stiks are awesome!
All the way back in November I announced that I had played around with some fabric print using a type of oil paint sticks. For some reason, they go by two different names. They are called Shiva in the US and Markal in the UK and here in Sweden. They are a little bit like giant…
