Hello 2019, and happy new year blog friends! Well, I don’t know about you but to me it feels both wildly overdue and impossible at the same time to have arrived at a brand new year. Instead of trying to make sense of it all just imagine me making some wild gestures and muttering incoherent …
Makers, I did it! I started my bra making journey! Buckle up, this is going to be a long ride. If you’ve been following me for a while you know that learning how to make a bra has been passively on my goals list for a while. Its something I’ve always wanted to do, especially …
Hey team! I’m back with my final project for the Summer of Basics, the Kalle shirtdress. As I predicted in my previous post, I didn’t manage to write a blogpost about the dress before the deadline, but I did put up a picture on my instagram. Here you can find my blogposts about the previous …
My second project for the Summer of Basic was going to be a linen jumpsuit and I went with the Yari jumpsuit by True Bias. My goal for the Summer of Basics was to make some hot weather clothing as the two unusually hot months before the challenge started proved I was in dire need …
My first item for the summer of basics was supposed to be the Ninni culottes by Named, and low and behold: I stuck to that plan! Here they are! I’ll be honest, when culottes made their (re)appearance in fashion and by extension in the sewing world I didn’t think they were for me. I wear dresses …

Today I got another sewing project to show you. This project needs a bit of a back story though: About a year ago I made a dress, in this really cool flower print corduroy fabric. I had a vision of a shift dress that just oozed 1960’s coolness. Well, I made it, but for some …
Part of the reason to have this blog is to have log of everything I make. Yet, I almost didn’t blog about this latest project. Not that I consider the project a failure, quite the opposite. However, the project is a simple T-shirt, and I wasn’t sure that was ‘exciting’ or ‘inspirational’ enough to warrant …
As a kid from the nineties I basically grew up in dungarees. I was a stubborn kid at that, and knew what I liked, so at some point my mother had trouble getting me into anything but dungarees.Even before dungarees made a fashion comeback, I had plans to make myself a pair to see how …
The past two weeks or so I’ve been struggling with what’s probably the worst fever I’ve had in years, and I’m still stuck with a stubborn cold that just won’t go away. Struggling with fever, cold and spring allergies, all while spring weather has come peeking out for the first time, is no fun at …
