Eclecticism is my hallmark. Since I was a kid. Oftentimes I like several things at the same time and I’m unable to choose only one project among many. Hence, I usually work on more projects all at once.

Have you always wonder what might be the best way to make a pretty and clean edge finishes? Then, have a look at my new tutorial 🙂 Not only will you create a very practical and beautiful cosmetic headband and pads, but you will also get to understand the principle of the hemming with a bias tape. Bias tape is something commonly used in sewing practice.  It is actually a piece of fabric cut on a diagonal, across the grain. We make use of bias tape for hemming rounded edges of garments – such as necklines, armholes, collars or decorative skirt finishes. In order for the bias tape to reproduce the round shape, the fabric needs to be strictly cut under the angle of 45 degree. This helps to stretch out the fabric. So, let’s have a look at how it works 🙂

I noticed Andrea Vytlacilova, the rising star of the Czech fashion design scene, for the first time this winter when I accidentally came across an article ranking the 30 most successful Czechs under the age of 30. Her enthusiasm for garment creation impressed me immediately as well as the fact she’s the only Czech student at the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London – one of the most reputable fashion design universities in the world. During the lockdown I had the opportunity to do an interview with Andrea about fashion design and her studies where she shares her experience from the real world of fashion design. Enjoy reading and thank you Andrea!
