Red Axis Dress
Well, heck. I didn't think I needed an Axis Dress and almost didn't make it. That would have been very lame because I absolutely love this pattern.

Patchwork Denim Jacket
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.

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...
