This is the last outfit I designed and sewed, my first summer outfit of the year. It’s made up of a cognac brown leather jacket and an army green playsuit. I drafted and sewed this outfit as a year-end project at school, over the professional Pattern Making classes I’ve been attending at Afol Moda in Milan. And ...
I've got to admit first of all that I have never loved maxi dress. I have got only one summer maxi dress in my wardrobe, that I bought on impulse some years ago and I only started wearing and appreciating lately. I don't know for what weird reason I've always thought that I would feel ...

In the middle of November Tilly and the Buttons launched the #SewingFrancoise contest, her brand new pattern. I liked the sixties model and it would have been a new challenge… I had never sewed a dress with raglan sleeves and added a collar. So, why not trying to make it? :) I chose to make a party ...
