Värvianalüüs: I osa

Kindlasti oled saanud komplimente stiilis, et sa näed väga hea välja, oh, kas käisid puhk usel, sa paistad nii särav ja nii edasi stiilis. Või öeldakse, et üks või teine värv toob su silmade värvi ideaalselt esile? Kindlasti oled endale meelde jätnud, et mis värvid need olid j a üritanud neid ka teiste asjade näol enda garderoobi soetada.   Mul oli ka nii. Mäletan, et emale väga meeldis ühe kampsuni toon mul seljas, ta tihti mainis kui puhanud ja värske ma sellega välja näen. Ühed sinised kõrvarõngad aga tõid mu sinised silmad kuidagi hästi fookuses se, sest mitu inimest kiitis mu silmade tooni just siis kui mul need kõrvarõngad kõrvas olid.   Lisaks on alati mingi värvid, mis sa arvad, et paremini sobiksid ja mis silmale meeldivad.   Mul olid kõik need näited ja nende järgi olin endale kinnitanud, et aastaaegade järgi tehtud värvianalüüsis ma olen kindlasti külm suvi. Mul ju puudub kontrast, et olla talv, ja kindlasti polnud ma soe sügis ega kirgas kevad. ...

Rule of thirds - my stellar (and random) lucky choices and some total misses

Sometimes, I feel like I need to learn rules in fashion and how to apply them to my wardrobe. I've been reading about color, finding my best colors, body types and so on. I don't always follow them, but when I feel like I don't like my own made items it's time to dig deeper and get to know why.   This time I happened upon the rule of thirds. I know it from photography and from architecture, but I somehow missed the connection with outfits. Of course it works! I went through the samples, read several blog posts (there are many out there if you just google rule of thirds in fashion).    I'm still applying it to my wardrobe in the future, but I looked at my previous sewn and shown on IG outfits. I put thirds gridline on them and finally found out why my two most loved items this year didn't look great on my photo. I also found out why I really liked some of the items I wore and how I styled them. I know that most of these photos are not taken from a correct...

2022 best items that I made and kept wearing

It's been really quiet here on my blog for several years. I guess I didn't have enough time or motivation to post, then I changed things and didn't like how my blog looked anymore. I tried to make it better again, but I think I just needed the time away. Also posting to Instagram is easier and quicker.  So, what changed now? I think I need a bit more my own scene where I can post. I found a neutral background for the blog and we'll see if I keep posting or not.With all that, let's get to the good stuff: items I made in 2022 that are my most worn and/or favourite pieces.  First up is Itch to Stitch Sibiu top. It's in the wash right now and by now is only suitable to wear at home as it's lost its color and has some pilling, but it's so soft and warm. I've made the Sibiu top several times, but this one is my favourite. The little one in my arms is just about 2 weeks old in this photo, now she's an active 2-year old and needs pretty dresses. Sibiu to...

Itch to Stitch Lagan Coat

 I made a sewing plan for this year about the things that are challenging to sew and the ones that I wanted to learn. One of them was sewing a lined coat. A real one. I was absolutely thrilled when Kennis from Itch to Stitch invited me to test Lagan coat. Itch to Stitch has brilliant instructions and I knew I could manage it with the rest of the testing team. I did :)  You can read all about Lagan coat here, there are also many photos from the testing team. I got so much inspiration I planned to sew another in bright color, but then all the tropical heat came along and I couldn't make myself to sew wool. But I have my grey coat and I'm so excited to show you all the photos of this classic design.    My Lagan is made from wool blend fabric that I bought from local fabric shop called Abakhan. It was 5-6€/m and I think it's perfect color for me though it does seem a bit boring (we had so many bright colors and beautiful fabrics in testing team, go and check out th...
