Hello Every 13th of each month my husband and I says to each other: Congratulations.! Thats the day we met. For us it's more important the day we met than the day we married. Every year the 13th of October we go out to celebrate. This year I have planned a surprise. We will stay in a nice Hotel and have dinner in a romantic restaurant.  For this special occasion  I thought about sewing a midi pencil skirt in neon pink lambskin.  I made a toile and draw the pattern. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use lining or not but at the end I decided for lining. I bought neon pink poplin and riri 2447 pink both ways zipper.

Hello I think is very clear that I am NOT a designer but a Sewer. I love sewing and if I like a piece of clothing I will do my best to make it. When I saw this trousers from Dolce and Gabbana they screamed to me: Sexy and daring. I said to myself, I am going to make it. I did start my SEW-search with the eyelet ribbon, I found it but not with the same eyelet distance. The another option was to make it myself, and then it will take forever. I decided to buy the one I found.  Black stretch satin, good quality, made in Italy. Very happy.  I bought meters and meters of black cord. I did have black thread, zipper and fasteners.  I made a cigarette pants with a stretch fabric and from it I made the pattern marking where the eyelet ribbon was going to be placed.  Parts 1 and 2 Part 3 Part 4 My first issue was that the distance between eyelets in the tape is 2.5cm. It was not easy to place both side of the eyelet tape and make it fit with the cord.   I realized that I should stretch a bit Part

Hello I am going to celebrate my birthday. Normally I don't celebrate it. This year I want to do something special for my birthday. How are we going to dress up? My boys are going to dress up with a shirt sew by me, using a Versace fabric style. I bought the patterns, both for men and kids. Fabric has arrived and I am really eager to start this sewing Project. I started first with my little boy shirt and for sewing it I bought a pattern from TADAH. The pattern comes with very well written instructions. I also sew a short-arm dress shirt to my husband.  My boys ❤

Hello I have not stopped sewing, I think I have increased my sewing projects specially because it helps me to be at home and relax. I am also working from home. I have done the pattern of one of Dolce and Gabbana many corset styles. The one I am writting about, is in the pictures below. I made a toile, to check the fitting and the length of the corset. The pattern I have used the fabric of a old Cotton pants. I was quite happy with the result, but I am at the same time quite picky, my husband says no one will see it, but I see it, I know about it, and it bothers me, but I will try to let it go, the placement of the zipper was not easy with this stretchy mesh, I dont have a perfect meet on the top, but I will have to live with it. I also sew a pink one, here are some Pictures.
