Hi there, I finished my sleeveless shirt dress, and I'm happy with the final result. The dress is comfy and perfect for summer. I will definitely wear it a lot.  This summer, I'm focusing on building my capsule wardrobe, and I'm glad I managed to create three garments (a skirt, top, and sleeveless dress).  I will continue sewing more garments to complete my plan. My progress will be slow, but I'm sure I will complete it before the end of the summer 😊 For the pattern, I used Faitmain shirt dress May 2019 size 38 and I used this pattern before to make two long-sleeved shirts.

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year

By -

I wish all my lovely friends a warm and happy Christmas, filled with peace, joy and love. Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

We celebrated Christmas at home with a simple dinner cooked by my dear husband, delicious roasted turkey breast and Portuguese style duck rice followed by home made desserts made by me, chocolate mousse and Portuguese egg pudding.
Christmas is always full of sweets and goodies, I baked apple raisin bread, roasted peanuts and bought the rest in the local shops. Also, almost forget to mentioned that a friend send us home made broa as well.

Thank you all for being here and I look forward for your friendship and sewing and crafting with you in 2016.

Kisses,

Hana
