I have never liked blue. I've always thought that it' wasn't my colour. But some time ago I got to like navy blue. It's such a cool colour :)I haven't even noticed when I became the owner of so many different kind of navy blue fabrics. The one I used in this dress I like a lot. It's so casual. I chose simple dress...

Ok - I thought - it's been a few weeks at least since my last sawing operation.Let's do something again! First whole Saturday I was thinking what to do and what textile to use for this vauge proejct. Finally after midnight when my son fall asleep and I made a decision I started sewing. I chose the dress which I didn't like too much when...

This is again my flea market gain. I bought two sheets of this mint fabric which is heavier than chiffon but lighter than tulle. I believe they were curtains in their previous life. But I don't care - nice fabric is nice no matter what an intended use is or was. It was last summer when I bought it. June this year I...

I thought I would make some skirt out of this grey piece of jaquard. I couldn't decide what kind of skirt it would be. Accidentally I found a dress in Burda (05/2010) which initially hadn't caught my eye because of the shape. I am a fan of pencil dresses and avoid flared skirts. Don't know why I decided to try it out. Then...

I found this skirt in Burda (09/2010) and I badly wanted to sew it. I thought that one of my mother's fabrics which I bought for her would be perfect. The process of sewing became quite long... After making pattern I cut the fabric and left it overhanging the bicycle in my room for some weeks. Meanwhile I sewed some other things. And...

After few months of absence let's start again! There are new garments in my closet and finally I had time and oportunity to take pictures of them. So here I am. For starters let's check the pencil skirt! I love pencil skirts - this is the style I feel good. They are simple and classy. September issue of Burda from 2010 had a...

This is not my latest dress. I did it 2 years ago. But I love it because it's very simple. Simple dresses need always special fabrics - nice pattern, good quality... It was very fast process - I did it one morning, before the wedding which I was invited for. I finished it just before ceremony, put it on quickly and went partying....

Recycling rules! First there was a textile. Then came a dress. Every time I visit my mother I go through her closet with fabrics and old clothes. There is almost always something new - she dosen't have time to sew at all but accidentally finds some boring clothes made of cool fabrics (dog cheap as well). I found there one day a long...

I bought this stripy cotton few years ago in Finland. I didn't know what to do with it but I liked it a lot. Dark blue-red stripes look really cool but this is also such kind of pattern which from distance makes your eyes tired. Anyway the textile was used finally. I made a dress with kimono sleeves (found in Burda). The sleeves...

The story goes that my mother-in-law got a jacket from her daughter. The jacket was too small for her so I was the next one to be a donee. I told her honestly that the jacket was totally not my thing but I could take it and remade. A deal was done. After maybe half a year I felt like making my first...

I don't know the girls yet. But our meeting is getting closer. Both are almost 3 months old. Both are my wonderful friends' daughters. Zosia and Dorotka. I decided to sew something for them instead of going to shop and choosing the cutest among cute girlish stuff. Zosia's dress I copied from the 'Giraf' one which my husband had bought for our child...
