Finished object: Stash piece no. 1: Mathilde.
Mathilde blouse in black crepe de chine – such a lovely fabric  to wear! I´ve finished my Mathilde! You know, that gorgeous blouse pattern Tilly just released. Before I say anything more, you should really read Karen´s post on this, as she captures my exact thoughts on this blouse much more eloquently than I could do myself.…
Read MoreFinished Object: Stash Piece No. 5: The Wrap Top.
I have finished the first garment on my list! Or, to be more accurate, I ´ve finished the fifth garment on my list. I warned you, I might jump and not start at the very beginning (although my Mathilde blouse is already cut and interfaced and all ready to go). I´ve had this small piece…
Read MoreStashbusting Sewalong 2013
So, people, I am excited to give you a more detailed list over my Stashbusting Sewalong contribution for the next couple of months. I have also added the sewalong to my nav bar, so you can monitor my progress there, if you´d like. Here are my sketches and ideas again: And here are the details:…
Read MoreAlmost an outfit. Most definitely a Sewalong.
Just so you know, this post is lenghty. đ What went wrong with this outfit? Can you spot what´s wrong with this outfit? (Except for the fact that it is in no way weather appropriate right now up here).  No? Let me help you: The shirt So. Most everything that could go…
Read MoreThe Christmas Dress, or and update on the Blue Velvet Dress.
Do you remember the navy blue velvet dress I was about to make back in âŚehemâŚSeptember? Well, turns out, Vogue 8280 wasn´t really for me. Because this was a style of dress I hadn´t tried out before, I decided to make a trial dress. A wearable muslin if you will. The pattern was great, and…
Read MoreSome FO skirts and pictures from a journey.
If you are wondering about the recent radio silence from this channel, then let me explain why, using pictures. I went to a city where the ceilings looked like this: where doors and walls looked like this: and where cats could be found laying like this: A place where the food and drinks were delicious: and…
Read MoreA FFO: The plaid half-circle skirt.
Remember this post? No? I don´t blame you, it´s been over a year. BUT I´ve finally finished my plaid half-circle skirt! That´s why I call it a FFO – a Finally Finished Project. The irony here is that making a circle skirt really doesn´t take a lot of time. But you know, winter came and…
Read MoreSewing plans: Vogue 8280.
A good friend of mine is getting married in November, and I really want to make a new dress for that event. Believe it or not, I don´t really have any winter appropriate party dresses, and you never know how the weather will be in November. Especially in a chilly church. Before we moved, a…
Read MoreAnother FO? Simplicity 1995.
Hello hello! Can you believe it? I have another FO to show you! This is a dress that´s been finished a while, but I haven´t had the chance to take any decent photos of it until now. This dress goes under the name The Dissertation Party Dress.  Back in May, my darling defended his PhD-…
Read MoreFO: Fairtrade pencil skirt.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my UFO post. It seems like most settle on three projects at a time. That sounds sane. I am not going for sane, though. I´m going for chaos! đ No, seriously, eleven is a little excessive, but I did actually finish one of them yesterday, as well as…
