Hi guys! Here’s my latest make of the summer. I know it feels a bit out of season for some of you but like I said before, I didn’t do much blog wise during the summer and I just really wanted to still share this lovely dress with you!

What I made | The Honeycomb dress by CocoWawa Crafts
Last spring CocoWawa Crafts launched their new pattern, the Honeycomb shirt & dress. I was one of the lucky few to test this pattern first hand and the result was one of my most-worn pieces over the last couple months. The beautiful design and the time and care I’ve put into this project explains why I come back to it time and time again. Today I’m sharing with you all the details of this make!
Tea dress time

What I made | Vintage inspired shorts Fern by Afternoon
Afternoon, an indie sewing pattern label based in Cape Town, South Africa, has just released a new sewing pattern!

I was lucky to be one of the girls pattern testing for Afternoon and couldn’t be more happy to share with you the result! Here are my Fern shorts!
What I made | Chanel inspired skirt
My latest make is inspired by one of my favorite fashion designer houses. The timeless classical designs, the elegance of the fabrics, the detailed embellishments… Chanel is a dream when it comes to the perfect Parisian style. Here’s the step by step of my Chanel inspired skirt, a Burda Style pattern!

Summer in lemon yellow
What I made | Yellow sundress
I’ve decided to take a little summer break. A little break may be helpful for my Ph.D. progress as I will come back more relax and energized after some days in Portugal with my family. With this last minute decision of moving to the seaside for some days, I soon realized my wardrobe was very ill prepared for such trip. So last weekend I set to resolve the situation and made a full collection of self-drafted off-shoulder tops and an off-shoulder yellow sundress. Now I’m ready for summer!
