Happy pants: BurdaStyle 01/2017 #110
These are Burdastyle 01/2017 #110 in a woven Indian cotton from my local Spotlight fabrics store and made without the hem bands – I just added length to the legs. I made these in a size 42 and they are … Continue reading
Repeat offenders: Bella dress
I’ve being repeating patterns again. I made another Tessuti Patterns Bella dress. This version is sleeveless and made up in a gloriously happy silk from The Fabric Store. And of course it has pockets. It was hard to capture the … Continue reading

White Christmas dress
I’ve been dreaming of a White Christmas…dress. Apologies to Bing Crosby and Michael BublĂ©. And my dreams have materialized thanks to my fabric and pattern stash. Gotta love an extensive stash! This pattern is from one of Burda’s extra magazines. … Continue reading
