Hubby loved my red poka dot dress a lot – I decided to make another with more work friendly prints. It’s pretty much the same pattern but longer sleeves. I made it with a rayon crepe and let me tell you- this is one amazing material! It’s crisp, drapery, and cool to the touch. SwishingContinue reading “Rayon Crepe Wrap Dress”

As mentioned in previous post, I made a black version of the peasant dress. This one is much more like the original inspiration. It has much more skirt, and asymmetrical gathering, and a longer top. I ran out of fabric at the end, so the ruffle is made from a slightly different rayon. Not moreContinue reading “Black Peasant Dress”

I made this: A few years ago I saw a dress in Pinterest and I finally got around to making it. I decided to make a red version, and while it didn’t come out exactly as I had planned, it looks pretty good on me! I made it using a red rayon crepe, which isContinue reading “Flirty Red Peasant Dress”

The pattern itself is very easy, I cut a Xs, and took 2 inches offContinue reading “Old Jeans Wiksten Haori upcycle”

  My first finished project for 2019!! I made a Yates Coat! When the Yates coat first came out – I was admiring it from afar. It is not something I normally go for, but i loved the ingenious way the pocket is constructed, thought of all kinds of dual-colored coat this could make, andContinue reading “Pink and Grey Fuzzy Yates Coat”

I love convertible things. If you ask hubby -I am a very non-commitmental person. (Though if you do get me to commit to something I stick to it stubbornly). I think for that reason, I really like to think of ways to make convertible clothing if I cant decide upfront some of the details. SoContinue reading “Red Convertible Coat”

I made a quilted bag!!! A coworker’s wife introduced me to her version of Penny’s tool tote pattern and i fell in love with how sturdy and pretty her bag is. I had to make one for myself, especially that my portable sweater knitting project has grown large enough to not fit into the tinyContinue reading “The Tool/Yarn bag”
