When your friend is a maid of honor at a wedding...

My gorgeous friend at the wedding:-)

The last wedding I’ve been to was about three years ago and I think it was probably one of the last one I’ll go to before along time as most of my friends are married now or simply don’t want to which is fine. But other people do get invited to weddings and it was the case for a very good friend of mine (that's her above!): she was actually the maid of honor at her cousin’s wedding.

When I met Chardon...

I know, I know! Another Deer & Doe project. But I did warn you anyway so now you'll just have to go with it :-)

This week I'm introducing the Chardon skirt which is a high waisted pleated skirt. At first I wasn't sure about the shape of it due to the shape of me (hehe) and was worried it would make me look much larger than I already am... Pleated skirts don't always flatter the figure of curvy women. But I'd been looking for a cute skirt for a while and I really wanted to try anyway. And also, I saw this picture on their online shop and I was sold! Plus, I already had the Ondee sweater so might as well make something to go with it, right?!

When I met Datura...

 

WARNING: there are a lot of pictures in this post :-)

 

"Damn! You are on fire!!" That's what my boyfriend said the other day when I showed him another finished project in my workshop. Indeed, I've been quite productive lately and I'm enjoying it a LOT really.

When I met Ondée...

I think I've fallen in love and it's so exciting! We met each other a few months ago and I think it was love at first sight...at least for me.

 

It all started last year when I was looking for a dress pattern and could not find something that I liked. All I wanted was a simple, plain straight dress I could sew without any trouble for the beginner/intermediate that I am. I had bought a pattern in a shop but was disappointed (we will discuss that later on). And then I came across a picture of a dress in my Google search and that was it! I had to get it there and then, but that too is another story that I'm keeping for later.
