You are what you love

Look at my new black skirt! :) It has two pockets and heart buttons. It's made out of second hand-material. 

For now I have left my sewing machine in my family home, so I can focus on my social work thesis for the rest of the semester. This means I won't be posting for a while.



Making up for my lack of time (and creativity)

Another hairdo for my sewing blog! Once again made by my dear little sister.

The braid maze

Hey Sister

My sewing blog has been very dull lately by several reasons. To make up for my lack of creativity and time, I will post some photos of my youngest sister's many talents. She knows how to make amazing hairdos!



Back Down Memory Lane

Yesterday I found these little animal-bags in my wardrobe.  When I was younger I liked to knit.


To the left is a bear-bag and to the right is a rabbit-bag. I still like childish things, even though I'm 22. I don't see any reason to be all boring and grown-up since that is what I'm supposed to be anyway, from now on, forever on.

Just my cup of... coffee

I think we all have some old jeans lying in the back of our wardrobe somewhere. At least I did, before I decided to remake two pair of old jeans of mine. This is part one of two in my remaking jeans-theme.

Out of a pair of black jeans I made a pair of shorts (a classic I know!). Below you can see photos of my recycled four-pocket black denim shorts.

I'm very fond of bows, as you might understand by now. That's not the whole story behind the lace bows though. Several years ago I saw a young woman in a pair of shorts with bows on the back pockets. So this is basically an idea I've stolen (guilty, guilty). I'm happy with the result. :)

Now it's study time! Coffee, coffee, coffee.

Sunshine parade

My little-sister F. and I spent some days together. We decided to dye some of our clothes. We chose yellow textile colour and red textile colour. 

First some yellow/orange...

                                                                                                                                                               

Then it became more interesting. It was time for some red textile colour! 



Dancing with myself in my blood orange skirt. I love it.

                                                                                                                                                               

 Last but not least we dyed a grey tank in the red textile colour. The greyness changed into some kind of purple-pink colour. I like the result. The batik-pattern looks nice.

                                                                                                                                                               

Just a little bit blue

Welcome to my sewing blog!

So, I start this blog with some photos of my most recent sewing project.

I decided to remake this blue vintage dress.

I turned the half-strange dress into something new: a blouse with a peter pan collar and with a little bow of course. I matched it with a black pencil skirt. I think I like it. :)
