One of the questions I get asked the most is: What’s your favorite hat pattern? And since Christmas is looming alarmingly close around the corner, I thought I might spice things up today. Instead of showing you one project, I’ve decided to show you a selection of awesome hats I’ve made over time – because…

First of all: I don’t know about the weather situation in your country, but what the hell is going on? In Austria, we had over 30C (86F) last week and now it’s 10C (50F)?! I am not okay. We went from Birkenstock Slippers directly to boots. No “slipover over T-shirt”-, or “cute dress with thin…

Just in time before the summer is over I made my new absolutely favorite summer dress. A few weeks ago I managed to have a whole weekend off. No work, no baby, nothing. Just me – getting up whenever I want, staying up late, watching trash TV and sewing until my machine starts to smoke…

One thing I am noticing this summer – it seems as if knitting patterns for shorts are popping out of the ground like mushrooms. Wide rib, small rib, cables, no cables, … they are everywhere! Before I get started with the article, I just wanted to link some patterns I found – just in case…

Happy Anniversary! It’s been a year since I started writing here. My first entry was for the Curated By You collection and I was so nervous – I had just started sewing, had about 0 followers on IG, living in a small European country where sewing isn’t cool and hip,… and then this big company…

To be honest – the summer knit struggle is real. Don’t get me wrong – I love summer yarns and all the cute tops, but (and it’s a big one) those thin needles are killing me. I’m always a bit afraid that summer will be over before I’m able to finish my summer knit. I’m…

In my last article, I asked you if you would be interested in some pattern recommendations for kids wear – and as I know timing is key, I did that the- day- before the photo shoot for today’s post! So guess who had a relaxing evening while E. was sleeping…? Not me. No, I’m just…

I AM BACK! I know I know, it took some time for me to get back behind the sewing machine. A lot has been changing too fast and too slow at the same time – and the combination of those things made me very stressed. So I started knitting again which helped me a lot…

When I first saw a photo of this EXTREMELY fluffy tee it was love at first sight. And THEN I saw its name. Vienna Tee, I mean come on – what more do I have to say? I love my hometown and I love fluffy things. So… the next day I happened to find myself…

I’ll be completely honest – my head is full and my heart is heavy. This whole situation right now is really challenging for me – covid, a breakup, starting work again (and being unhappy with it), moving to a new apartment and now a raging war close to my home. Getting up in the morning…

To be completely honest – most of the time I buy fabric without knowing what to make with it. Highly excited, a bit overwhelmed yet with no plan in sight. This leads to either: – too little fabric -too much fabric Let’s not talk about too little – this always hurts my heart. But too…
