Draping class 1, a simple blouse

Courses are liberating! Sewing-courses in particular seem to be very good for my creativity-levels! Draping class 1 finished. We draped a basic blouse, with a short sleeve and a collar. I was incread...

Berlin, Berlin!

Oh Berlin, such a nice suprise! Such a friendly city, so polished but still a bit rough around the edges, right where it should be! Loads of history, but at the same time a very contemporary place. D...

Baby Blue, denim shorts

I always seem to lack shorts, and I tend not to buy any since I feel uncomfortable (self conscious) in most of them. But even in Scandinavia, shorts are a big must for summer! Ie: problem. A couple o...

Yoga Top v2

Well. I needed a new yoga-top since the one I made earlier this summer pulls my neck too much (its a halter-neck), not good since Im an OL (office-lady) during the days which results in a tense neck ...

The briefest post ever (pattern making-scribbles)

Well, I still havent managed to photograph my new shorts (baby blue denim), and what Im making now is very closely linked to a sport I had promised not to mention in this post. Add the fact that I sc...

Im a yoga devotee (outfit for Bikram Yoga)

Announcement: Ive taken up Bikram Yoga. I used to do Ashanga Yoga, off and on since 2001, but I needed some variety. Another type of Hatha Yoga seems adventureous enough, dont you think? Bikram Yog...

On presents, and stuff in the mail

Today is my birthday. Happy birthday to me (I have to say that, Ive found that birthdays are increasingly not very pleasant as I get older, Id better make them as nice as possible!). As if they had k...

drape drape vol. 2, no.6, drape dress

Now, this dress was a nightmare to sew! There are only three pattern-pieces, and it looks simple enough, but I actually had to wear it to be able to figure out how to sew the draped cowl-collar. Load...

The easiest shirt ever

This was a bit of an experiment. But I like the result, as simple as it is. After making 5 pieces of clothing from my new aquisition "drape drape 2" (that I love), out of which 2 were easy,...

drape drape vol.2, no.14, gather drape skirt

First, a word of warning: if you decide to make this skirt, do check the size very carefully. Its very fitted, which it should be, but if your hips are 92cms (like mine) and you decide to make it a s...

drape drape vol. 2, no.7, tuck drape dress

I cant decide on my feelings about this dress. I really like the drapes on the skirt-bit, but it feels a bit like a pajama with the very wide top-part. That might very well have to do with my choice ...

drape drape vol. 2, no 4, drape top

This has to be one of my favourite t-shirts! Its SO comfortable, SO easy to sew, and SO not your standard t-shirt! The first project I made from my recent purchase, Japanese pattern-book "drape...

Kokong bag

Im spending a few days at my parents place and you never know what pops up in their drawers and closets when you have a look around! A few years ago (or, come to think of it, not a few but rather man...

Shirred dress for Julia

Though I normally mainly (only) want to sew for me, and constantly make plans about what to make next (for me), I love sewing for my niece. Maybe for my nieces when my younger niece Ella is a bit old...

Burdastyle coat done, yeeeeeepie! And Im a problem-solver. WIth a bad memory.

Back again! Did some travelling again (might post more about that in another post, I went to Provence, I love love love Provence!), and spent a few days intensely sewing a coat for the Burdastyle boo...

Surprise!

Well it was to me, at least. Im usually no big fan of etiher rings or decorated nails. But this, very pretty! Clean, simple but sophisticated. Too bad I keep my nails short and get all nervous and fi...

Im back, with a bunch of old dresses, yippie!

Sorry about the long absence, I kind of lost all sewing mojo, Ive basically just draped fabrics all over myself trying to figure out what to make. Major uncapability in the decision-making-department...
