Well, I still have time to do something :) The child is not very eager to leave my belly... I bought a musical mobile on a flea market. It was very colourful but it wasn't something I liked. I am a minimalist... I was eager to have this toy so I got it with the thought of changing the soft toys. As I...

I know, I am becoming boring... Pillows and toys only. But what can I do? There are two new pillows on my sofa. One with a strong pattern is really a nice colourful spot in the living room. And another pillow is another story. In a nutshell it's a big failure. I was so excited to transfer a print onto the fabric... And...

Time is flying.. But time cannot be wasted! Today I made a cheesecake with oranges.. We'll try it tomorrow. Yesterday I finished my first Teddy. Today he was at his first photo shoot. Maybe he doesn't look the happiest bear in the world but neither he looks the poorest creature. I was very enthusiastic about it. I bought some time ago a nice...

I had a plan to sew some maternity clothes. But luckily I skipped that idea :) In the last weeks of my pregnancy I didn't think about new clothes at all. It's the least important right now I guess. But I felt and still feel like doing something! As I moved to another country I left my sewing machine at my parents house....

Two things here. I sewed them some time ago. First one is a very basic and very simple skirt for the summer. I had a short piece of a thin knitted fabric. I planned to sew some top but that would need using some other fabric as well. And then one day I found it a nice working material for a fast skirt! Well, there...

I fall in love with this dress from the first sight (a boat-neck dress from Burda 2/2012, #107). I can't help it but I like such things - very simple with simple but nice detail (and loose enough for mothers-to-be). I knew that I had to make it but it took me a while to choose a fabric. I have still wide choice of...

I don't belong to the circle of women who like to wear maternity clothes. I don't buy them as they are used really only for a moment. On the other hand I like loose dresses and tops which are very useful now. I am getting bigger but I don't stop sewing. The condition is I always make something what I can use later,...

I'm a little bit upset because I wanted to write more regularly on this blog... I still want to that but why it's not so easy? Last months I haven't sewn anything really. I was tired, sleepy and didn't feel like touching my sewing machine at all. The last time when I felt like that was two years ago when I was pregnant with...

I saw this skirt in Burda 12/2011. I'm not the biggest fan of leather but the skirt itself was really cool. I wanted also to vary my wardrobe a bit and make some flared skirt instead of my favourite pencil one. I used dark grey wool only. I planned to make lining as well but after first rough fitting I found it unnecessary....
