'Hoo' let the Sun(ny Dress) out? 'Owl' present: A Friday Pattern Company sewing pattern

'Hoo'ray for owl puns!
I'm 'talon' you, there is a reason for this: Owl fabric!

The Sunny Dress was part of project SewMyStyle 2018 and - maybe you 'owl'ready guessed it - I made this a looot of months ago.
Take a cup of coffee or chocolate and read on about my make and what I think about this pattern.

Damn, that title is a cheap joke, I know!
But do you want to know, what doesn't look cheap? (Yep, that's another one!)

These leggings are, at least for me - and who am I to care about what some stranger thinks. 😉
Long story short, I love them and I wear them a lot. Sewing goals accomplished!

Sewing skulls n' roses: P4P Pirate Pencil Skirt

Many say a pencil skirt is the most feminine clothing item. All those fashion magazines out there tell us it's a staple in a woman's wardrobe, a must-have, perfect for work, dates and more. Do you agree?
I never owned one (for real!) and it was time for me to find out, so I quickly made one myself.

Sewing By Hand London's Rumana Coat - Cotton toile

About a year ago I had the feeling the word 'Rumana' was in everyones mouth. This classic, but extra long coat sewing pattern already had a big fanbase at its release. But while people where incredibly excited, there seemed to be a bit of fear in the mix...

To many sewists coat making seems like the ultimate peak of sewability - or at least, one of them. Honestly, me too!
But it's actually very doable and I assure you, you can do it too!
So this post is about my toile/muslin/test version for the Rumana Coat, the adjustments I made and how difficult it was for me, still a not too experienced sewist, who never made a coat before.

Happy new year - My (sewing) resolutions 2019

Once again a new year has started. Though I am not the type of person, that makes 'New year resolutions' - I prefer to make them whenever during the year a change is needed - I do like to use this opportunity to reflect on my sewing, my blog and do a bit of planning.
