With April being final project month for my students means realizing it is also final projects month for me as I will be staying a bit later, going in in a bit earlier, shortening my lunch hour.

I want to be there to assist them with fittings and finishings and ensuring they do their best work for the upcoming graduation fashion show, but also for their future selves.

It's especially telling how pervasive "fast fashion" is when many of them don't know what a facing is, or why they should try to make sure their finished garments are well finished so they will last for more than 1 season....

Les beaux jours arrivent, et avec eux, l'envie de remettre des robes 🌞

Sauf que comme toute personne qui porte des robes, je suis confrontée à ce drame : il y a rarement des poches 😩

Alors hop, j'enfile une ceinture corsetée pour marquer la taille et styliser la robe et j'accroche dessus une jolie pochette patchwork pour pouvoir ranger mon téléphone 🤩

Me voilà parée pour cette journée, en étant à l'aise et en ayant l'essentiel sur moi 😁

Hoy estuve sacando fotos para este diseño de top de corazón que no sabía que quedaba tan bien 🫣

Si tú leyendo esto vives en Colombia, o conoces a alguienque sí, y te gusta la ropa alternativa que se adapte a tu cuerpo te presento mi marca: Sabbra, desde 2019 hago prendas a la medida y personalizadas, trayendote diseños y prendas con las que puedas identificarte y sentirte comode. Mi ropa no tiene género ni tallas, es atemporal y asimétrica.

Helt ny på platformen - den minder mig om instagram i de gode gamle dage..

Denne forårsbluse er syet af den smukkeste og mest detaljerede håndbroderede dug jeg længe har set! De klareste farver på de bittesmå korssting som har taget uendelig lang tid at lave.
Nu har dugen fået nyt liv. Den havde nemlig stearinpletter og et lille brændt hul - du kan finde den på min webshop. Der er kun den ene, og der kommer ikke flere ❤️

💙 One of my most favourite memories from the last fashion show. 🪄 Having Munir at the fashion show was an absolute blast! We’re totally vibing with his moves and the way he flawlessly showcases the pieces.🪩

What do you think?
💙 Comment a blue heart if you think the same! 💙

ZW Gather Dress by Birgitta Helmersson.

For something so simple I sure did take my time with it! I think I finished sewing at the end of last year (it's already on the 2024 makes post...) but did not make the buttonholes or add the buttons until the last few weeks.

Made from a thrifted duvet cover and is more of a wearable toile. For the next one I want to get a narrower width, longer top and not so low cut neckline.

The making itself was fairly painless, especially since I used Birgitta's tutorials on her blog to sew some of the trickier bits. Opted out of using the offcuts for reinforcement as that felt like unnecessary waff. I've already plans to make a blouse version of this too!

Feeling brave today and wearing this to work to see how it works in the day-to-day.

Working on a top inspired by the Rori wrap top by DIY Daisy. (diydaisy.com/blog/tutorial-ror)

Instead of the patternless layout on Daisy's tutorial I used an existing pattern and simplified it by leaving out the darts and extending the length. The ruffle is made with Daisy's instructions but instead of using the whole width I folded it in half to give it more structure. That might've made the thickness a bit too much as both my sewing machine and my serger made very worrying noises while I was sewing the ruffle on. 😂 I think I'll try Daisy's method on the other side, this way my bra was a bit too visible from the side and I'd rather not worry about that when wearing a garment. Also I'm not fully convinced with how it looks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think this would look cute with a long skirt though!

(One of these days I'll clean that mirror.)

An old project where I upcycled a dumpster dived angora sweater, or rather what was left of it.

The previous owner had already cut out pieces to make mittens and a hat, so I pieced the remnants together to make this scarf. The fringe is another remnant from another scarf.

I stitched the whole thing together by hand, as machine sewing would have just stretched everything completely out of shape.
