This project was inspired by a toddler hoodie I stumbled upon. I really liked the deer but I am not a big fan of felt applique (sorry). So I decided to embroider it instead. Christmas is almost here 
so I got a basic red hoodie and embroidered the deer with white cotton.
Zoom in
More than a week ago I bought this ecological red leather. Normally I buy fabric when I can easily imagine what it can become, but this time the texture and the color made me buy it and then fantasize (sic!) about the things it can become.
I did think about a red miniskirt, I have to admit 
but in the end I made a little going-out bag for myself and two wallet-like pouches for the shop.

A tshirt blouse? Why not
For a long time I have almost hated purple. And would never ever cross my heart and hope to die – would I buy something purple. Except eggplants, plums and grapes, their purpleness was allowed. Keep reading →
Been playing with colors lately. Browns and blue, brown and pink, navy blue and different greens; this is what I got.

Banana bread to be
There is something innately sensual in cooking. In baking maybe even more so. The colors, the creamy-silky textures, the flavors. Mixing textures: puffy egg-whites, drippy melted butter, grainy sugar; tasting the dough, putting flour in your hair. Checking the temperature in the oven. It’s all a beautiful ritual.
One of the deserts that I like to bake is banana bread. It’s super easy and it tastes great! Keep reading →
First of all, I would like to say that lycra is definitely not my friend. And that is fine, since I don’t want to wear it all the time. Now on with the costume.
I started to do the top and the gloves today. As I mentioned before, even if Halloween might be a good excuse to go pantless, the leotard is just too much to handle for me. So I decided to make the top longer, tunic style and wear it with leggings.
I also had a sword and all and the facepaint. Fun!
Who is Psylocke? Only the awesomest mutant ever to be an X-men…
Psylocke originally possessed the power of telepathy, she could read and project thoughts over long distances;[99] control minds; subdue and tap into other’s powers; affect people’s memories;[100] project mental illusions;[101] project psychic waves (psywaves); and generate psi-bolts that could stun,[102] injure,[103] or kill others.[104] She could also project her astral self, and the astral bodies of other people, into the astral plane.[105] She could scan entire towns with her mind,[106] and leaf through the psyches of the inhabitants of a city to learn of their condition[107] or intentions.[108] She could also probe individuals to check up on their status.[109]
So I am going to try and make that costume. Any raised eyebrows?
So you (and I) will need:
to be continued:)
I never made a “grown-up shirt”. Not one with buttons, long sleeves, or all the basic details a shirt has. So I decided to give it a try.
I am working with this pattern from Burda (5.08) and using cotton and for now – it’s not that bad.
So here’s a peek of the work in progress. (Feel free to point out he mistakes, you win points:)
The buttonholes and buttons should be hidden, but I have a funny feeling about it. We’ll see.
Actually I have a feeling this will be a wear-under-sweater shirt, but if it leads to me mastering this pattern it’s still ok.
So I mixed half a cup of sugar, half a cup of oil and 2 eggs until creamy. Then added a cup of finely grated carrots and almost a cup of raisins. I’d now say that almonds or nuts might work well with the flavors.
