I went through quite many sewing machines in my lifetime so far and I think I have learned few tricks when buying new one. I got my first one when I was only 9 years old and it still works! So I decided to share few tips that I have learned along the way…TIP No….
I made these little ribbon flower brooches to accessorise our wedding outfits. I must admit, I’m still not entirely sure how they’ll end up being used. Pinned onto lapels? Added to a sash? Attached to a hairband? Honestly… your guess is as good as mine. What I do know is that they’ve been such a…
I love spending time in nature! Last weekend Joni took me to a lovely meadow in Cranfield and I could not help myself, but make some flower garlands. From my childhood I have learned to make dandelion head garland wreaths, but I suppose you can apply the same technique to any other flowers. This…
Recently I have been busy making this spring/dress that I fell in love with almost instantly! It’s perfect for my walks around the Lea valley park. Can be worn with cardigan when it is chilly and accessorised as you wish. This dress is so easy to make and is shaped with the ties. Suitable for…

A simple handmade book pouch to keep your handbag a little more organised. This easy sewing project has a lovely folded-letter shape and is perfect for protecting books or other little bits and bobs on the go.
I really love a good woollen sock. They are not only for winter either. They are wonderful on rainy spring days inside wellies, and just as comforting at home in place of slippers. Knitting socks is also much more enjoyable than it might seem at first. They can look terribly complicated, but once you get…
