So this … Continue reading Mini Sewing Projects #2 | Ohhh Lulu Kitty Sleep Mask and Noodlehead Canvas Pencil Pouch
Hi everyone, hope you’re having a wonderful day. I am still in the New Year spirit here, still writing 2018 in my diary/journal, ha! Since we’re still at the very beginning of the year anyway, I thought I’d talk about the past, present, and future of my sewing. Let’s start with the past year, shall … Continue reading Sewing in 2019
Hello everyone, hope you had a nice Christmas break. I decided to take a short break from blogging and social media, just to chill, relax, recharge, you know?

But I did have a nice Christmas … Continue reading Fashion, the Essential Visual Guide to the World of Style by Karen Homer | Book Review

I had never touched a sewing machine in my life before, but, if you know me in real life you'd know that I live by my curiosity and I was so curious about sewing. I knew I had to get a … Continue reading Get to Know My Lola | Janome 5030 Sewing Machine Review

Have you tried sewing using the patterns from this magazine? I haven't. I am a big fan of sewing magazines, I think they're amazing; filled with sewing tips and they come with free patterns.

Bonjour mes amis. Before I started sewing, I wasn't much into fashion, in fact I wasn't interested at all. Clothes were just clothes, and my outfits were not picked with much consideration; just the usual jeans and t-shirt for everyday casual, shirts/blouses plus trousers if I needed to look a bit smart, and work suits … Continue reading Dress Like a Parisian – Aloïs Guinut | Book Review
