My embroidered jacket, Camden St. Requiem
This is the story about a customized denim jacket and a project that took so long that I changed both concept and name half way. A piece with hand embroidered motifs, a painted element and vintage lace, my little treasure. Keep reading to know more about this Covid creation.

Reworked Vintage Off White Lace
I guess I’m not the only one. These are uncertain times and everything has a different rhythm at the moment. Nothing seems like following the plan. That will be my only explanation about the last weeks and why I’ve been going through my whole photo gallery until I found this one. The story about how I started remaking vintage. It was a few years ago and I was lucky to have a commission for remaking some vintage pieces into new boho dresses. I was excited, but overall… I was scared. You will never be able to imagine how scared I was by then. I love vintage clothing since I can…

Reworked Vintage: That pink dress
This is the story about that time when I made a pink dress with vintage textiles. But this one is a bit different to the others because today we are talking about something fancy and glamourous! Reworked Vintage Last year, I was so lucky I could make some reworked vintage for some interesting people in Portobello, Notting Hill. Thanks to that, I worked with some of the most beautiful fabrics I’ve ever seen! It’s not because this one is the best I’ve done. I don’t think so. But when working on it, I really loved the shape, the touch of the fabric. The simplicity but elegance on it.In my opinion,…

Because I can
It has been a while again since the last time when I wrote about that red coat. So, this time and because summer is almost gone (who said sad?), today I’m here to tell a little story about a jacket. If you follow my adventures on my IG stories, you probably saw already some details about this piece, including tacking, invisible seams or even the label on it! A colourful, bright, 80s jacket. The clash in my wardrobe. Where everything is black, red, tartan and abstract patterns… here it is. A patterned colourful and bright short jacket that I still don’t know what I’m wearing with. To be honest, I…

I’m Back…
Time flies. So, it has been more than one year since my last post, the fourth in this (with a different look now) blog. I wouldn’t like to say I’m sorry, because I’m not. No really. And I’m sure if you follow my adventures on the IG, you know exactly why I’m saying that. Last year has been one of the most productive times in my life, I mean, talking about creating and sewing. 2018 gave me the opportunity to create original pieces for my own brand and even send some pieces to places so f*cking awesome as Japan! Also, I remade vintage for some fancy shops in London, and…

Talking About New Year’s Resewlutions
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Ups! Maybe it is a little bit late for that… Nah! We are still in January, aren’t we? Then, let me wish you all a wonderful, amazing and… crazy 2018!I guess you have your resolutions, goals and hopes for this new year in somewhere. Perhaps, you wrote them in some paper that you keep hidden in a drawer. Or, maybe you didn’t write them, but you have some ideas in your mind. A list of projects I have to admit it… I am that kind of person who makes one thousand lists about every thing (except my shopping at the supermarket… It makes no sense, I know!).…

Lace and Tulle, The Little Black Dress
Time flies, specially when you are busy with no-creative-but-necessary-tasks. I haven’t been really productive last weeks if we are talking about sewing stuff. Soon I will talk about some recent changes in my life but, now, first things first.This post is about a project that I made last summer and it is not in my gallery yet. When I designed, I wanted to create a piece with a deep V neck but mixing tulle with the main fabric. This was the result. Sketches and Patterns My first designs weren’t exactly for a dress. I thought it would be great to have a playsuit for summer with a V neck and…
