Hello.. Finally I made my plaid jacket! It was not an easy work, especially to match the plaids. Actually, my jacket finished one week ago but I didn't have time to take pictures. I am planning to take outdoor pictures but the weather is not supporting my plans. Humid, foggy and the worst is there is no more cold here. Anyway, the weather in Macau is unpredictable. Maybe we will have more cold to come and I will be lucky to wear my new jacket but if not, I will wear it next year :) Pattern: This is my second version of BurdaStyle wool jacket based on this pattern from 10/2013 #106  size 36.

Finished with bound button-holes Changed the back from two pieces of pattern to one piece Shaped up the sleeves because it looks a little bit sloppy for my taste, omitted

Hello everyone, I'd love to show you what I made last Friday. I made two cosmetic bags in big and small size, one pencil case, two sunglass cases and one small jewelry pouch. Here they are...    Pattern and materials for the cosmetic bags and pencil case: Pattern : Draft it yourself cosmetic bag followed with easy tutorial from Hannah In The House.   Materials : fabric scraps - medium crepe in pink floral and deep pink, lining fabrics - printed cotton and wine color cotton, zippers and thread.   The sewing process was easy and fast, I measured directly on the fabric and cut them all.

All the sizes are including 1 cm seam allowances. I sew lining for the big cosmetic bag and pencil case but I leave the small cosmetic bag without lining.   Well, I forgot to take pictures of my sewing process. If you

Hello.. I am joining Share In Style hosted by Rosy - Sewingadicta and  Mis Papelicos . The topic for February 16th was Japanese Inspiration, I am already thinking about Mori girl style that is in the list of modern Japanese street style. Mori means forest in Japanese, which the style concept is natural and earthly. Well, I decided to use my boiled wool in green earthy color from stash and sew a lovely poncho based on BurdaStyle pattern. After all, I am happy with how it turned out and it was fast and easy to make it. I am done in less than two hours.
