    • Seventies Vibes

    Hi guys!! How have you been? Hope your summer has been great and that you enjoyed spending time with your loved ones. I feel like I have been away for an entire season, lol but seriously though sometimes its good to take a break. I am writing with blog post on a Sunday afternoon cuddled up in comfy lounge wear, it is pouring outside the entire day. Over the past few weeks, I have been sewing up some things, this off the shoulder top is self drafted. Combined with this high waist Zara vintage jeans, it gave me seventies vibes and clearly I was feeling myself haha. Are wide leg jeans/ trousers the new skinny jeans?

    Have a blessed week. X, Lekeleli

    Spring

    Hi guys! How are you doing? Hope you had a lovely weekend!

    As someone who is always freezing, it’s only been this week I’ve felt that spring has actually sprung. Everybody seems to be in better moods, yay. Now that we are putting the heavy coats away, I am starting to be a little insecure with myself. I have gained a few, its not a secret. I want to be fitter (don’t we all want that). So I’m trying to eat healthy and exercise, I simply don’t believe in starving myself.

    On to today’s make, I was inspired by a kimono I purchased ages ago. The fabric is light weight hence I had to line it. I paired it with my fav blue jeans and these boots from Zara.

    Thanks for stopping by. Xx

    Bell Top

    Hello guys. Hope y’all doing well. Like many, I am so happy the beast from the east is gone. The snow was beautiful for a day or two until the roads became slippery and realized I actually didn’t own any shoes for such kind of weather. I can not wait for spring literally.

    Unto today’s post, you might remember this fabric from a previous garment I made in the past and yeah blue is one of my favor colors . This bell sleeves top was acheived from a bodice pattern I drafted, to add some fun to the top, I incorporated bell sleeves and added belts to snatch the waist (well kind of) haha.

    The Duster

    Hi guys and happy monday!! It’s been a hot minute on here and I could mention some reasons why I’ve been away but life happens, I seriously do apologize. Hope you had a great start in the new year. Praying 2018 has great things and opportunities.

    Onto today’s piece. I purchased this fabric sometime back and decided to make this duster using Butterick pattern. What I love about this pattern is, its an easy and quick sew. I added darts but went for a loose fitting so I can layer when its chilly. Took quite a lot of pictures but it was windy and I wasn’t pleased with how most of them turned out.

    NewLook 6446

    Hallo ladies!  Hope you are all doing well. I had some time off work, decided to spend some time in Germany with family and also had a catch up with friends and former colleagues. Back to work in London and its freezing, can’t believe we are almost approaching the festive season (yay). Today I am sharing this New look 6446( view C) which is actually is jumpsuit but I left out the bodice, instead was tempted to make these wide leg pants. I loved that the pattern is an easy sew. I will definitely be making the other views in the spring.
