First make & review: Sequoia Shorts - Sewing pattern from Itch to Stitch

Pants with a zip fly - worn by almost everybody, feared by many sewists and definitely high up the skill rating... do you agree? To be honest, I did fear them a little bit, but I knew: with proper instructions it's not a problem at all to make them.

Here they are, my first ever self sewn fancy pants with a zip fly: My Sequoia Shorts.

A story about corsets

I have never owned a corset, but that doesn't keep me from making one! Without any knowledge I just cut out a pattern and sewed, and this post is about why, what came out, and how I will continue. I'm not kitten you, this is going to be a rather long story, so better grab a cup of tee / coffee / your favourite beverage now! 

Modified Sunny Top (Dress) - Sewing pattern from Friday Pattern Company - A failed project

Review: JJ Knit Classic Joggers (Sinclair Patterns) & comparison with The Hudson Pant (True Bias)

I love joggers. I could totally live in them, if there weren't actually beautiful clothes.
Naturally I started sewing with a pair of joggers - but they are so ugly, no one (online) will ever see them, hehe. Since I was not satisfied with The Hudson Pant from True Bias I tried out a different pattern: The JJ Knit Classic Joggers from Sinclair Patterns. I compare the two in this post.

The cheetah sweatshirt

Have you ever bought a panel, because it was sooo beautiful, only to realize later at home that it's so small and split up you'll have a very hard time making a full item for yourself out of it?

That's exactly what happened to me with this beautiful cheetah panel - which was clearly made for kids' clothing. But of course I was already at home when I realized that. It took me a while and some thinking, but then I had an idea on how to make the item I wanted with the whole panel and nothing else.
