Soft cotton corduroy in light blue and hand embroidery..... Cross stitch may be seen as a folk craft, far from today's fashion standards. It requires patience and time - things we often lack. Yet, it's calming, almost therapeutic and it reflects a slower, more mindful model of craftmanship. I'm sharing this post today, on Mother's Day , because cross stich was the very first craft my mum taught me , at the age of 5 ❤️ This is @burda_style pattern 102 from #burdastyle 03/2026. #sewover50 #sewingcommunity #sagammodelmay @sharesewover50 @suestoney @sewing_in_spain @carmen.cose

Easter time in the country ...... Lemons on the trees🍋🍋🍋 and bees on my top 🐝🐝🐝 This is @burda_style pattern 105 from #burdastyle 02/2026. Two fabrics, two textures.... I only had 1m of this soft, slightly shiny, stretch fabric with the cute little bees print, so I used a light, flowy black remnant for the sleeves. #sewover50 #sewingcommunity #sagamadventurousapril @sharesewover50 @suestoney @sewing_in_spain @sueleighatkins

Not exactly April colors — I know. Βut this fabric combo has been through quite a journey before becoming this blouse. It actually started as a dress I didn’t like at all. I took it apart, got frustrated, and somehow, from 3 meters of fabric, I barely managed to create this piece. I’ve always had a soft spot for mixed fabrics and asymmetric silhouettes, and pattern 113 from @burda_style 11/2025 (slightly modified) brought both elements together just the way I wanted. Finished yesterday and photographed at the Athens flea market — and somehow, that’s where the colors finally made perfect sense. This is my first entry for the #sewaprilblouse26 hosted by @cloth_edit and @sewn_on_the_tyne and I promise the next one will be fully spring-inspired. @sharesewover50 #burdastyle #sewover50 #sewingcommunity #sewistsofinstagram

It could be just another wrap dress.... But it's my favorite one, thanks to the beautiful embroidery and the challenge of fabric placement ...
