New life for old things.
In the last post I wrote about the diary I didn’t wrote as I would.. So not a long diary about all the things done but I very short list of appointments, thoughts and projects, something I’m doing since the school years. Every year a new diary with me and the old one in the […]
Recently we rediscovered the old love for tablecloths, until than we had a large use of place mats. This new love made me happy and… full of old quilted place mats so, this is why this project was born. New kitchen life for the old place mats. We will make an owen glove and a […]
Last Sunday we went to this lovely vintage 👒🎩 motorcycle rally 🛵 in Aprica ⛰️. This was the occasion to wear my new pois skirt with blue shoes, hat and clutch, all the stuff together 😀. So here we are with some friends and our 1954 Lambretta, what do you think? About the skirt, I’m […]

For Christmas we spent some days at my parents home (mountain break, lot of snow, too much food, walks and relax.. Want to live there!!). As this house is closed most of the time plants cannot survive there so, I decide to make something green as a recycling project. I’ve found a lot of possible […]
The first sewing project for the new house: sweater pillowcase So, not a big project I know but, nice and simple as we love: recycle your lovely old sweater in a super soft, super cool pillowcase. When you move from a house to another, or when you clean your wardrobe for the new season, if […]
