  • Cutting Weekend Number 1 – Production Line Kids Joggers
    My son doesn’t like to wear shorts. Like – at all. The only time we were able to convince him they are fun was when we took a long weekend vacation in Whistler last summer. But then we came back to reality, tried to get him to wear short and he said “Shorts are for…
  • Cutting Weekend Number 1 – The Raglan Hoodie (and the bane of my existence)
    As I mentioned in a previous post, I arranged to have a “cutting weekend” and then sew my cut pieces. The first project was a Raglan Hoodie for my son. I got the pattern on Etsy, from Made By Me Patterns. She has great stuff, her communication is amazing, the patterns are super clear and…
  • Cutting Weekend Number 1
    Since I’ve set up my projector, I only made one toy bunny that was pretty fun and cool, and I realized the power of projectors and how much time it can save! But the problem is, that my setup is temporary. I can’t (and don’t want to) connect it to my ceiling, as I am…

  • The Magical World of Pattern Websites
    I remember that a long time ago, when I was a kid, my mom was sewing stuff out of magazines. So Burda was a thing, and it had all those papers inside with all the patterns together and I remember that as a magical and such a complicated thing! Fast forward to my teenage years,…
  • 5 Items Under $20 That Improved my Sewing
    Today’s post will be a little different. I want to talk about items I discovered in my sewing journey that made it easier for me to sew. And I want to focus on the cheaper ones first. I also want to focus on the ones that are not that trivial at all – I mean,…
  • My Zamora Blouse
    2021 brought an important New Years resolution for me – I want to sew most of my clothes. Whatever I can sew I will, and only things I haven’t learned yet I will buy. Like lingerie or active wear, that I still don’t have the skill to do. Another important resolution was to build my…
