For the current summer season, I’ve been recently sewing a bunch of summer dresses. With the holiday season approaching, I wanted fresh air in my wardrobe. And I also wanted to try something new. I didn’t have any particular inspiration, I was just leafing through some older issues of sewing magazines I have had since last summer or those I purchased a few months ago.

In this blog post I will take you through my summer makes. I will mention what made me to choose those particular patterns and what my fabric choices were. Moreover, I will write more in detail about positives and negatives of different fabric types.

I don’t believe that all great things in life come effortlessly to us, but if we work hard and consistently for them, simply one day everything pays off. And it was the case with my pattern-cutting study stay in London. 

I already wrote briefly on the blog about my education in fashion and this course was another great learning experience I can add to my fashion knowledge portfolio.

I always enjoy supporting small independent creators, and besides leafing through the sewing magazines, I like shopping indie patterns designed by small independent brands too. I’m often inspired by French pattern designers and among those, Atelier Scammit is one of my favourites. Not only are the designs beautiful, but the patterns fit perfectly and are very nice to sew as well.
