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…

When I first got asked if I wanted to test the new FS cotton fabric, it was a big HECK YES from me. This might sound extremely silly, over the top and maybe I’ll lose some sympathy points, but I love having stuff nobody else has (yet). I think I was born with a collector…
Do you know that feeling when you want to make something (whether it’s sewing, knitting, etc.) and you have the pattern and fabric and everything ready to go – but somehow you’re afraid to start…? I’m not sure if it’s the fear of struggling, of messing up – I don’t even know exactly what I’m…
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…
As I’m writing this, I am sitting at the breakfast table in Croatia (again – lucky me, I know) enjoying a slice of bread with spicy Ajvar and cucumber. It’s 10:12 am and 27 C. It’s warm but not too hot, which feels perfect because I’m not sweating like hell but still don’t need to…
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…
I have one big big big problem with clothes: every time I see something in the store or online I like I think ‘Definitely not gonna buy that – I can do that myself’ – in reality- I rarely do so. So when I started packing for my short trip to Croatia I found myself…
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…
