In case you’ve been wondering why This Blog has been dormant for quite a while now: We’ve been prepring our cutest DIY project ever!
We welcomed our little wonder earlier this year and are completely overwhelmed with joy and love.
I thought I’d quickly pop in from maternity leave to let you guys know we still exist, but are currently pretty busy doing other things! Don’t worry, I will be back blogging and sharing projects in the near future.
This time two years ago I was frantically working on my wedding dress. It was such a joyful but equally stressful process. As much as I am proud of the dress that came out of it, I’m glad I won’t have to do it again.
As spring/summer weddings are coming up and some of you lucky soon-to-be brides are making their own dresses, I thought I’d share some (hopefully) helpful advice.
As helpful as some couture sewing books might proof to be, they do not give much insight into the whole shebang of planning and scheduling and of course, the emotional stress that interferes with every single step on the way.
WhenĀ Iām not sitting behind the sewing machine,Ā I work full-time as a psychologist.Ā This is why I every once in a while share a mental health-related post on this blog.

Lately I’ve noticed the sewing blogs quieten down a little. All life seems to take place on Instagram nowadays, which also seems to apply to sewing blogs.
I admit it wholeheartedly – I love Instagram. And there’s nothing wrong about loving Instagram,Ā spending time on Instagram and sharing posts with others.
Happy New Year! I hope your start into 2017 was as fantastic as mine. I’m looking forward to a new year of sewing and blogging and creating my own handmade wardrobe. January will hopefullyĀ bring some tidiness into the present chaos that is my sewing space. I’m making it sound really passive, but most likelyĀ it will be some very active, serious cleaning, sorting and decluttering. It won’t be as annoying as it sounds, as going through my sewing supplies and fabric always inspires new projects.
I’ve kept my sewing New Year’s resolutions really simple this year: SEW MORE and DE-STASH.
