I finished this last Wednesday, but we didn’t have time to take pictures until Saturday and I couldn’t write a post until now. Work is piling up… Koen was asking for a pair of pants for months, so when the Jedediah pants were released, I knew I had to make …

Completed: Lady Skater Dress
This Lady Skater Dress is the dress you’ve seen on yesterday’s post. These pictures were taken just before the ones with the Miette Cardigan, and you can see it because my hair is still wet from the shower (although it dried fast with the heat we still have here). I …
Completed: Lonsdale Dress
I finished this dress two weeks ago, just after coming back from Belgium. For a while I thought this dress was doomed, since due to several causes, I had to take a couple of loooong breaks due to my stupidity (not really, but I’m sure my mind was somewhere else) …
Paula’s bathing suit
I’ve lived far from my family for the last… mmmh, let me think, for the last 7 years. New technologies help very much in these cases: phones to talk at any time, teamviewer to repair my mother’s laptop and Skype to see their faces and interact with them. Skype was …
My orange skirt
I finished this skirt probably more than one month ago, but we had such a cold and rainy spring this year that I forgot this skirt at the bottom of my finished projects drawer. It’s funny, since the bad weather was the main reason to hurry with my Thurlow trousers, …
Let me introduce you to my new trowsers!
Last time I talked about them here was just after making my two muslins. I haven’t been very active here lately because I really wanted to have them finished in one week. Sadly that was not possible, it wasn’t a week but ten days. Not bad, I would say, for …
T-shirts!
I always wanted to learn to sew with knits. I love dresses and blouses, but as I’ve mention before, what I wear almost everyday are pants and t-shirts. Thirty-something and still dressing like a teenager. I guess some people of our generation never grow up. Because this and because I …
Tutorial: how to fix jeans pockets
You know how men stuff their jeans pockets. I guess it’s the collateral effect of not carrying a purse like we do, where you never know what you can find at the bottom. In their case what you can normally find at the bottom of their pockets are their keys. …
A-line skirt
I started a class about pattern drafting almost 1 year ago. My first project was a skirt of which I’m not especially proud. It’s an ok skirt, but it’s not exactly what it was meant to be, and now I feel some basic concepts were not explained during the class …
Mad Men Dress Challenge
Here is my dress for the challenge. It’s based in a couple of dresses but I did not buy any special fabric since I knew I lacked time and this was not going to be a masterpiece. I recently found a shop here in Madrid where they have very cheap …
