First I made it long and now I made it short 🙈

First I made it long and now I made it short 🙈 (swipe to see) But what else to do? As a dress I worn it once- when I took the second photo. But as a top I'm going to wear it right now when I leave the home for coffee 🥰 I don't know... I just feel separates are much more versatile especially If it's transparent..ish like this one. And also I must say that the zipper was so pointy that it looked like I have a tail... Now that I think about it that might be the main reason 😂 Nevertheless, I have the full post about it on my blog (fashion section, second page) but shortly:

Lately I've been very attracted by neutral colors.

Lately I've been very attracted by neutral colors. I don't feel like wearing/sewing/buying anything but white, black, beige and gray 🤍🤎 Especially now that the warmer weather is approaching I can see only linen (and linen-like 😉) in front of my eyes! I don't even remember how does the jersey look 🙈
Where do you stand on fabrics and colors lately?

It feels like a century since I started it... And

It feels like a century since I started it... And I'm still not sure if I should ditch the cups and wear is as mini corset over shirts 🤔Truth is that in straight pose it looks very nice, but if I let my shoulders down... not so much. Maybe this is Universe sending me a message- straighten up woman! Hmm we'll see 👽
So all that is left to do is figure out that part and reinforce back part somehow (any ideas?) maybe some wire or something to keep it straight 🤓

Is your dress form used just for sewing or do you sometimes throw other things on her?

This type of garment has been on my To-Sew-List for a WHILE ❤ If you would take a look at any of my sketches... probably ever... you would see this dress! But for some reason I felt like the making was considered as a mystery (till recently) you know? Like a secret craft that nobody could approach 👽
This morning I went on a little YouTube scroll, and OMG I've saved like 11 DIY videos. And everything looks high end and professional! Ahhhh I'm excited to try them all ❤❤❤❤

One of my (many) attempts to create Pinterest-style photography of some of the things I like 📷
Only thing missing would be mug of coffee that I drank while playing with this. There will be no empty mugs on my feed- I can assure you of that 😉

Now this is an exciting idea... 🤔
OF course I would wear it with some clothes under 😂
Hmmmm.... I don't know. I kinda don't want to ruin it with potentially sloppy cups. But on the other hand if I leave it like this I will not have potentially perfect cups... you know what I mean? Can you tell that I'm Libra? 😄♎

This pattern was love at first sight 😍 I saw it and I knew we're going to end up together ❤ I got crazy inspired by my previous post on Renaissance... I feel silly saying that "I inspired my self" 😄 But I guess it's okay.
Anyway, all those historical paintings and their stuuuunnnning clothes, in particular ruff collars- and this #wildergown top is just the fix I needed ❤

I love history and I love fashion, combination of the two can only be explained as... Well bliss 🎇
When you look back at those times, and pay attention to the details- the influence it still has on the way we make our clothes today becomes clear. Interested about the subject? Visit my blog and let me know what do you think ♥️

Alright, I finally took my lovely dress for a lunch yesterday and omg can you believe that the weather for it was perfect here in Vegas 😱 I mean, it was around 80°.... Which is great for you know... life, but it kinda kills my urge to sew winter clothes 🙄
Anyways, this is my hacked Vogue V9029 pattern, totally inspired by @dressedbyava and her lovely pink dress 🥰
The fabric was gifted from fabulous @poppyflowerfields and it's soft like it's mixed with silk!
Read my blog for more information about it ❤

Layers, layers and guess what- mooore layers 😄

Layers, layers and guess what- mooore layers 😄 Every winter same question- do I want to make lighter clothes and that layer it up, which is BTW much easier to make on my (I see now) very amateur machine... And not to mention it looks more chic. Orrrrrr to make chunkier clothing that you just throw on yourself, with a risk it looks like a craft project- with all the potential (hahhah read definite) skipped stitches... No offense to the craft projects of course 🎈
I just don't know... When I made this coat it seemed like it's going to be sooo warm, but when it was done- it felt like a paper... Thicker paper but paper nevertheless 🤔 hmmmmm what are your thoughts on this subject?
