Congratulations! I haven’t seen many blogs that provide such thorough tutorials! Keep up the good work Sensei! By the way, when are you planning to sew and tell about a Chanel jacket?

Thanks for your comment :)

Let me clarify one thing first: I’m not a Sensei of anyone :) The “grasshopper” in the “Watch and Learn Grasshopper” page is actually myself who is a self-taught and very enthusiastic seamstress :)

I also think that I should sew a Chanel jacket these days, but I have couple of other sewing projects in mind before that. I guess I can include it on the to-do list for next month. In the meantime, please do watch the making of a Chanel jacket video I shared couple of weeks ago:

Since the fabric pile at home is still not above by head… (more around my shoulders I must add) I went to the fabric store to look for something new and fresh. Then I found this adorable chiffon fabric! 

And the best part is, I have just the right earrings for it! :P The (only) good thing about living in a textile heaven country is that you can find various types of fabrics almost for free :) Well, almost… This gorgeous chiffon costs around 2 USD a yard!

I have two under five and it was refreshing knowing that’s just how we mums roll if we wanna sew while they are awake was great to see, lol. I had a giggle. music was primo as well. Keep up the awesome blog it rocks!!!   Steph ;-)

Dear Steph, thanks a lot for enjoying my work and sparing time to leave me such an ego-boost comment! It’s so wonderful and fun to see that we women have the same interests, sense of style, humor and wee-man challenges, whether we’re from Turkey or from x part of the world! Thanks again for the great comments and hope you’ll stop by again soon :))
