I said I'd blog about fasteners for the white jacket next, but Vogue have released such a great autumn pattern collection that I want to talk about that instead! I always start with the designer patterns, because that's what Vogue is all about. And this time there are not one but two Ralph Rucci patterns.…

V9253- I have only been sewing patterns (as a serious hobby) for less than a year, so there are a lot of patterns that haven't caught my eye yet. I recently got into Vogue at the beginning of this Summer (2018), and I never really sat to look through the Vogue Pattern book. Well, I…

Before cutting the dress pieces from the fashion fabric I decided to test the pattern dress Vogue 8648. I want to make sure that all fit well! Once I have ordered by mistake only 50 cm of this cotton in red and it is just enough to squeeze on it the bodice pieces. Then I…

I don't care if Renfrew's blue Vogue is gray and Simplicity too Butterick I don't care about you It's Briar, I'm in love... When I first saw Megan Nielsen's new Briar top pattern, I wanted to love it. After all, it's a Megan Nielsen pattern, and I adore Megan Nielsen. I admit, I have a…

I know I am not alone in spending obscene amounts of time hunting vintage patterns down online. I have, do and will spend entire nights crawling the interwebs ogling what has come to be my favourite sub-genre of the vintage pattern: Vogue Paris Originals. Vogue started printing these in 1949, featuring straight-from-the-muslin reproductions of Balmain, […]

Many of us have sewn multiple versions of what I have always called the best ever skirt pattern, which was Vogue 1247 that I recently sewed ...

I have a new dress pattern, Vogue 1312 designed by Lynn Mizono. I'm calling it the Origami dress because of the unusual shapes in the skirt; it actually looks as if it is made of folded paper. I have two pieces of Japanese inspired fabric, Woodcut Geisha and Genmai Tea Cup, both by Alexander Henry,…

HI DARLINGS! Happy Friday. Today I am rocking my latest mask, its been a while since I have made something and photographed it within days of each other. I needed a quick and easy make and I have had VOGUE #1672 on my list of things to sew. It is fully lined but it is still pretty easy to cut and sew dress, even for a Vogue pattern. It is easy to fit and the skirt drapes beautifully. THE FABRIC I used the OLIVIA TENCEL from MELANATED FABRICS but there are so many WOVEN PRINTS that would work fo

HI DARLINGS! Happy Monday. I spent most of my weekend caring for my mom, she has been recovering from her surgery and had some issues from ruptured sutures, so I have been doing some wound care and trying to keep her comfy. We have another follow up with the doctor this week, so I am looking forward to that. I just want her to feel better. Even with all that she is in great spirits and is all smiles.Today’s #DIY corduroy pants were made with VOGUE #9181, and I love this pattern.  I did not have

This is a diary for making hat B from Vintage Vogue V7464. I hope it can be useful for someone trying to make it, because sewing it was probably the most frustrating project I have ever had. Read my review of the pattern here. Now when I know all the steps, the hat isn't so hard to sew- I just wish…

It's been a while since I said this but....this dress was a JOURNEY, hahaha! I have a conservative but beautiful stack of Vogue Paris Originals in my pattern stash, most of which were gifted as Christmas and birthday presents over the years, which I am slowly making my way through. I think I may have
