The Magrath Dress by Sew Much Ado.

Let's start by how we are feeling about this dress.

That was her idea with the heart by the way (but I do agree). And it's obviously double perfect because not only do we love it, it also imitates the cuuuute top-of-a-heart shape on the front bodice and bottom-of-a-heart on the back bodice. You are basically being hugged by a heart when you are wearing this dress.

Komi Kimono Jacket by Wardrobe By Me.

Hello, My name is Mie and I'm addicted to stripy fabric!

 (And a little bit to sherpa too).

I have really been looking forward to show you this cardigan.

It's the Komi Kimono Jacket by Wardrobe By Me.

The Aurora Tee (Hey June Patterns) + Burda Style Narrow Pleated Skirt.

Don't say I didn't warn you about lots of stripes on the blog and here we go again....

The stripy item is The Aurora Tee by Hey June Patterns and the skirt is the Narrow Pleated Skirt 10/2015 #107 from Burda Style. It is my first time sewing both patterns.

The Eleena Dress by Coffee + Thread.

Today I'm taking part of The Eleena Dress by Coffee + Thread tour and I have two quite different dresses for you.

They are of course made from the same pattern, ha, but one is made with woven fabric and the other with knit.

Sew Japan Guest Post from Petit a Petit and family.

You are in a for a treat today. My incredible and always inspiring friend Celina is guest posting here today. She explains why just below.

Enjoy!

Hello! My name is Celina and I blog over at Petit a Petit and family. I have an amazing team of contributors, Mie being one of them. When Mie and I were discussing dates for her next post and we settled on the 29th of February, I felt a little jealous! I mean how often does one get to say they posted on the 29th? So we had the brilliant idea for me to guest post, and that is why I am here today! Mie and I also share the love for Japanese sewing books and so this month I am sharing my #sewjapan post here. I hope you will come and link up on the Petit a Petit Blog, we have a really awesome giveaway and you will get to see what beautiful outfits Mie has sewn.

Burda Style Oversized French Terry Cardigan.

I feel like I talked so much about this cardigan in my previous post, that I really just needed to show it to you.

So I got it together and did a quick photo shoot today.

It's my first version of the Burda Style Open Shawl Collar Jacket 11/2015 #103A made with French Terry only. That definitely gives it a cardigan feel and look but can of course be used outside for a spring day too.

Burda Style Oversized Coatigan.

I FINALLY got around to blog about the first of many garments I made myself in the last 2-3 months. My sewing room is packed and I seriously need it out of there and into my closet so I can use it. In other words, I'm a highly motivated blogger, ha.

During Black Friday I bought my first Burda Style pattern. Okay okay, patternS...I bought 6 and so far I have used two of them...one of them even two times. It's actually the coatigan you are looking at. I have also made it in a French terry only but that will be for a future post.

I'm calling this version a coatigan because, well that is how I treated it, fabric-choice-wise and sewing-technique-wise. More about that later.

The Burda Style name is: Open Shawl Collar Jacket 11/2015 #103A.
