This is another sewing project I made for my nephew. I have a bunch of fabric scraps (and I'm sure almost everyone who sews also has a stash) and I was trying to find a way to use them up. I browsed through Pinterest and saw a couple pins about making blocks like the ones you see above. The great thing about baby projects is that they use much less fabric so it's a great way to use up some scraps.

I am very happy with the result of this sewing project!! I became very drawn to the wool coat trend around the end of fall last year, in part because of the Korean dramas I've been watching. I went on the hunt all over the city for a light grey wool fabric; to my surprise, it was extremely hard to find. In the end, I found the fabric I needed downtown but it came at a cost.

For the second wedding of the season, the atmosphere was more casual so the wrap dress was the perfect style for it. The wrap dress is one of my favourite dress styles these past years so I wanted to take on the challenge of making my own. To say this project was hard is an understatement - it was difficult! I made a lot of errors along the way but learned new techniques through the process.

As I had multiple weddings this year, I thought it would be a fun challenge to make my own dresses and save some money while doing it. For the first wedding of the season, I saw this style of dress on Pinterest and knew that it was a style I wanted to wear for a "black tie optional" event. I don't have any good solo shots of me in the dress, so I hope these photos will suffice in giving you an idea of how the dress turned out.

I have never been so proud of a sewing project in my life. This one took a lot of time to complete because of all the new techniques that I had to learn, but I'm extremely happy with the result. Something about backpacks with the front flap make it so attractive. It was also the fact that it had so many features like enough pockets that appealed to me. I used a pattern for this project and the instructions were a bit difficult to follow nor did I end up following everything, but the overall pattern was great.

HAPPY CANADA DAY! In celebration of Canada's 148th birthday today, I thought I would turn this post into a bit of a festive one by throwing some red into it.

I actually started this project last year but after many sewing mistakes, I decided to stop. After about a year of getting some self-confidence back in my sewing ability, I finally got the motivation to complete it. Even after sewing so many things, you would think I can avoid silly mistakes like sewing into a layer of fabric I didn't want. The amount of seam ripping I do is unimaginable.

Hello! I want to start posting some of the sewing projects that I have done in the past so here's my first one! Many things I make are usually done by following other people's tutorials with an added bit of freehanding; the tutorials that I use for each project will be linked in the end.

I am so in love with longer skirts now. I've been into this more "sophisticated/modest" style lately so the extra length has become a favourite. I'm not a huge fan of midi skirts though because they make my legs look shorter when they hit around my calf, especially since I don't wear heels. Knee length is perfect for me and I don't have to worry about my bum showing too hehe.
