Mesh bags are so simple, and there's probably already a ton of posts and videos about it, but still, I wanted to try and make them my style and in a way that you can personalize it. I ended up coming with these two styles, one with a pretty trim and another (faster to make) without it.

Either …

Summer is here are there's nothing better to wear on hot days than fresh tops (or dresses). I'm self-teaching me how to sew and I saw a vintage top that I wanted to try to recreate, so I grabbed a white cotton bedsheet from IKEA, took my measurements and went at it.

The video below will sh…

They are the perfect project to use the scraps of fabric that I always feel super bad throwing away, they are still big enough to make something but it has to be pretty small, even if you don't have enough for the bow, you can just make the scrunchie bit.

It has been a week of vacation for me and the weather here in Portugal has been great to go to the beach, especially these last few days, we've been through a heat wave and it feels great to take a dive in the fresh ocean water.

A couple of months ago I wanted to make a dress with a gathered skirt, and since I'm a super newbie to sewing I had to ask my grandma how could I create that pretty ruffled effect. Although I've since realized there are a ton of online tutorials and posts on how to do it, I had never, unti…

Upcycled DIYs are always one of my favorites to make, the amount of money spent on supplies is basically none and you're giving a new life to something it would otherwise end up as trash.

Of course, you can make this in any size you want, but I kept mine small enough to fit in my bag and store small knick knacks that stubbornly keep getting lost on the bottom of the bag.

The quick video bellow has all the steps for making the pouch.

I've been seeing so many types of these headband turbans on Antropologie, like this one, that I had to try and DIY one myself, it seemed easy enough, the only problem was that I didn't have any nice fabric to use. So I just grabbed my plain white fabric, and tried some patterns and textur…

This week I decided to take you with me on my most recent craft experiment, and instead of making a test version as I usually do, just went ahead and filmed as it went along.  This is not the best-made t-shirt of all time because I have very limited sewing skills, but it is wearable and I'm pr…

I got this sweater from my dad a couple of years ago, and it has been in my drawer without much use ever since, so I thought that adding a fringe trim would be the perfect way to give it a fresh new look. Problem was, I didn't had any in hand and if I ordered it online it would take some time …
