Three Cities, Three Dresses: Aachen
My Dad’s terrace is starting to feel like the most boring backdrop for taking pictures. That’s why I took my field trip to Aachen as an opportunity to show off a dress I’ve finished back in December 2013. It did take a lot of commitment to the cause, because I was freezing my ass off.…

It’s Teatime: First Jersey Shirt
I’m the kind of person who, when something works just fine, sticks to it to the death. I don’t experiment much. With my sewing, though, I decided I needed to branch out a bit. My cat shirt made me super pumped for making more shirts, but I realized this would mean I’d have to sew…

The Jane Bennet Dress (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries)
Have you seen the Lizzie Bennet Diaries? No? Then what are you doing here? Go and watch them, like yesterday! I’ll wait here, promise. Done? THEY’RE SO GOOD RIGHT. I’ve been watching them obsessively last year. I should probably not admit how many times I’ve rewatched them by now. Mr. Darcy never did anything for…

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
A good Sunday to all you lovely people out there! We haven’t seen each other in … wow … it’s been months! I’m a terrible blogger who let herself get caught up in pesky everyday stuff, and I’m very sorry for that. But now I’m back! And I have a new project to show you:…
