  I want­ed to make some­thing spe­cial to wear to my friend’s rehearsal dinner. Instead of trav­el­ing else­where for fine fabric(s) and spend­ing mon­ey, I tried to find a fab­ric to use from my fab­ric stash.  After search­ing for some­thing sim­ple and clas­sic, I found some beige silks I bought from Mood Fab­rics in NYC last year. I orig­i­nal­ly intend­ed to use the beige silk for a gown. But after using...

I’m always up for hav­ing a sewing bud­dy! This time, I teamed up with my mom. A cou­ple weeks back while run­ning errands with my mom, I asked her to swing by the fab­ric store for some mate­ri­als.

But instead of cre­at­ing a key­chain using one sol­id leather piece, I decid­ed it’d...

Here is a list of some of the projects com­ing up in October! I’ll  like­ly share more details and pic­tures of the projects in future posts. Some of these projects are for wed­dings and I don’t want to give away too much ahead...

The Housecoat for the New Modern Housewife By Marusya
Marusya

Did I men­tion that dur­ing the wed­ding prep & August sewing mad­ness- I was sewing a house­coat for my sister?! When Kate and I went fab­ric shop­ping for her bridal gown, we found this fab­ric in the clear­ance section!We both fell in love with it! The flo­ral striped fab­ric design looked SOOO much like our pil­low cas­es grow­ing up! Weeks pri­or to her wed­ding, Kate had a bridal show­er. So instead...
