It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping. And right down the street, in a shop...

Easter 2015 Burdastyle Ukrainian Embroidered Linen Crop Top and Skirt
Marusya
Ukrainian Embroidered Linen dress crop top

Krys­tos Voskres! Hap­py Easter! I knew I want­ed to make this Bur­dastyle out­fit as soon as saw it in the month­ly Bur­dastyle mag­a­zine! How­ev­er it wasn’t until 2.5 weeks before East­er, that I received my linen in the mail and began embroi­der­ing the crop top/blouse. My won­der­ful moth­er came to my res­cue by embroi­der­ing the dark red skele­ton of the design. This part of the embroi­dery takes more time and...

Isabel’s Floral Coat for Easter and First Communion
Marusya
girls floral spring coat

This chil­dren’s flo­ral jack­et was made for one of my First Holy Com­mu­nion cus­tomers.  (I’ll post pho­tos of her dress and veil lat­er this week!) I absolute­ly love how this jack­et turned out! I made a sim­i­lar jack­et for myself (see the jack­et here) last spring. At first I was wor­ried that the flo­ral print would be too large for a chil­dren’s jack­et, but I was wrong! I love this flo­ral print...

Charcoal Wool and navy leather 1 2011 126 Burdastyle sewing pattern winter coat

 Last Octo­ber, I made a navy cash­mere and leather coat for one of my dear­est friends. I would not call it a suc­cess. Since this first coat did not turn out as I had hoped, I sim­ply had to design a new ver­sion of the win­ter coat! The new coat was first going to be an orig­i­nal and mod­ern twist on a par­tic­u­lar vin­tage style. (I’m being vague in my descrip­tion because...

Sportula DIY Project & Super Bowl XLVIII
Marusya

The super bowl is just hours away! Not only is the Super Bowl a very big deal in my fam­i­ly, but it’s the num­ber 1 watched event in Amer­i­ca! So whether you’re stay­ing at home, going to a par­ty, or going to the big game, you must choose a team to root for! Even though I like Man­ning, my bets are on the Sea­hawks!  I chose Seat­tle because my fam­i­ly spent about...
