The holidays are almost here so I thought I’d round up some gift ideas for sewers. Maybe it’s you who’s looking for a gift for a friend who sews…or you’d like to tell others what to give you as a present? Here’s a small list of things I’ve liked recently and that I think would make a cute surprise :) You can also check my gift post from last year with other cool ideas.

New pattern: the Needle Pouch

Black Beauty Bra + new underwired bra class

And by interesting I mean lots of mistakes and obstacles in almost every aspect of the process. But hey, I was the one who told that she likes complexity in a sewing project, so who am I to complain now. Let’s see what went wrong and how I more or less fixed it.

Jackets are actually my favorite thing to sew I think...there’s a certain complexity sewing wise which is interesting for me and they get a lot of wear so it’s definitely a win-win. I’m going to share some of my inspiration in this post for my upcoming make.
