Then I decided to go back to graduate school to…

Before I tell you what this ‘Diary Of A Novice Sewist’ is going to be about, I would like to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Sophie and I live in Vienna together with my partner and our son. It just so happens that it is not very common or considered modern…
It all started with a childhood infatuation with Lauren Bacall and yada yada yada, many years later I finally wound up with a very lovely pair of avocado dyed linen trousers that I’m sure Mrs. Bacall would have gladly worn on set or vacation. I started with a little more than two yards of FS…

Does anyone else think that there’s something extra special about a beautifully tailored shirt? And with so many shirt patterns available it can be sometimes tricky to choose the right one for you. Which is why we decided to review yet another shirt style hoping that it might help you make your choice. Today’s pattern…
The MYKONOS shirt is, in short, perfection. To start, it has four (yep, FOUR) pockets and is inspired by vintage men’s tailoring. The pockets are large and purposeful. Perfect for knick knacks of all sorts, ideal for an on the go, messabout, fart around lifestyle. It is the type of shirt your grandparent would wear…
The ZINA Shirt is so comfortable, versatile and it was an absolute pleasure to sew! Is there anything this wouldn’t look cute paired with? Jean shorts, wide leg trousers, overalls, skirts, as a swim coverup with the sleeves rolled up – we think it is the best new wardrobe addition. Even more amazing, when you…

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Elsa, I’m 39 years old and I make memory guardians in the form of fabric dolls. I graduated in architecture and after 10 years working on large scale projects, I became a mother and started sewing toys for my children. Through playing with…
A pair of red shoes started this project. I found them on sale of course. They are so cute, so comfortable but also I had nothing to wear with them. Ha! Maybe I should have thought of that first. I usually lean toward minimal and handmade things in my wardrobe. I might lean towards minimalism…
Linen tanks have become a signature piece in my summer wardrobe. I’m convinced I cannot have enough of these simple, versatile, and breathable garments for hot July days. So, this week, I added another one to my closet, the Phoebe Tank in Ash Linen. This pattern only took 1 yard of fabric and 2 hours…
I’m looking forward to share fun ways in which I incorporate new pieces into my closet. My background in design and styling has allowed me to see and play around with limitless ways when it comes to dressing up. When I create a piece, simultaneously I am always thinking about garments I already own and…
Since I left New York City and moved to the French countryside a year ago, it felt like I’ve lived in boots and jeans for months now, renovating my beautiful old house and taking care of the garden, going on long walks in the woods and exploring my new region. So I was very excited…
