Sewing is a brilliant hobby that I have been enjoying for the last couple of years.

Here are my posts on all my sewing ideas and activities. I am always learning and finding new projects to sew. And I want to share with you all the things that I sew. Plus, find out how to use all your small scraps of material, as I do like to be as zero waste as possible.

I will show you

the garments I make
the patterns that I use and discover
the latest popular patterns
small items you can make
special techniques

and share all the special things that I find along the way.
