Swiss Dot Silk Chiffon Wilder Gown
Here I am again with a new make that I am so happy with. There has been lots of experimenting with new fabric types around here. Silk may be a new favorite and, surprisingly enough, was not at all as intimidating to work with as I had anticipated. Recently, I was asked to be a Measure Maker for Measure Fabrics featuring some of their very glorious salvaged designer fabrics in my makes. I could not be more thrilled about the opportunity. Today I'm sharing a dress I made with this beautiful Swiss Dot Silk Chiffon from Measure and it may be the most wispy, floaty thing I own...

Today is all about my very fun Nénuphar jacket, in english the Water Lily, made completely of denim scraps and old jeans! Oh, to say that this was a fun project is an understatement.

I guarantee you sewists out there will love the process of sewing it up...

Russian Regina Dress Review
I am finally getting around to writing about a dress I made several weeks ago. The trickiest part in sewing the Regina Dress by Viki Sews is that the directions were completely in Russian! I didn’t let that stop me, though. I hope to share some tips that could help you along if you plan on trying this pattern out yourself...
