I’ve knitted this piece last weekend. It was quite a fast knit and I used just 32 grams of Cascade 220, left from my Chuck sweater. I think the pattern was a bit pricey for an accessory, but result is quite cute. I used 4.5 mm needles and I could …

Completed: Edith Blouse and a headband
Any time I saw any of Heather’s blouses, I wanted to make one for myself. I think I wanted since I saw her first Edith blouse, but I didn’t sit down and sew it until last week. I think I procrastinated for so long because I was not 100% convinced …
Completed: Chuck Sweater
I wanted to knit Chuck for a very long time and Andi’s Selfish Sweater Kal was the perfect occasion for it. I like Andi’s designs, and this sweater fitted perfectly into my plans for this year. I went for size XS, as usual with Untangling Knots and I used 4.5 …
Completed: Second Pair of Mens Trunks
Do you remember the pair of trunks I made last month for Koen? Well, they have become his favorites and he even gets them from the unfolded laundry to put them on, so I think he deserves more. I went to a local shop last week and bought two meters …
Completed: Baby overalls
Before having the serger I’d never sewn any gifts, except for my first Reversible Zippy Hoodie or a handbag (with enclosed seam allowances), since my seam allowances looked sloppy and totally unprofessional. But being able to serge my seam allowances gives to the finished garment a much neater look, and …
Completed: Margot Pajama Bottoms
I bought this cotton flannel sheet in Retales Lidia by the kilo. I don’t remember the price, but it was ridiculously cheap and I still have tons left. First I wanted to make the Tofino pants, but I was not 100% convinced about the leg width and I wanted a …
Completed: Another 40s Style Blouse
I promise that this is the last 40s style blouse that I’m making for a while, but I just needed to get it out of my system. I’m going to try a different pattern next time, but even if I don’t, I think I’m ready to attend the next rockabilly …
Completed: A Tiki Blouse in January
And I don’t live in the Southern Hemisphere. It means how much I long for warmer weather, refreshing cocktails (those will not happen, I know) and the much expected tiki party. It’s Gertie’s 40s style blouse again made with some fabric that I bought this Christmas by the kilo at …
Completed: Monsters Blouse
One of the things that I’ve missed this year was going to a couple of rockabilly festivals. It’s difficult to attend this kind of events when you have food issues, but as soon as I get better, I’ll definitely go… and wear this blouse. It’s Gertie’s 40s style blouse again. …
Completed: Camas Blouse
You probably know Thread Theory as a independent company designing sewing patterns for men. Well, to celebrate their second anniversary they have released a pattern for us, women: The Camas Blouse. On the original picture it appears as a loose top, so to make it more my style, I’ve made …
