A Denim Dress and a Shirt full of Butterflies

I’ve been overdosing myself with fashion magazines in the recent months and one of the Spring 2013 trends I love is denim, especially the denim dresses. I was very much inspired by Diane Kruger’s denim dress in a very 50s … Continue reading →

About Me

Hi there! My name is Adey, welcome to my blog! I am a former kids' television channel manager turned stay home mum. I am also a sewing convert. I hated sewing since I attended my first home economic class at the age of 14. In 2007, something miraculous happened when God blessed me with a second pregnancy. I discovered that I was expecting a baby girl. That changed everything. First I went crazy shopping for handmade clothes for her on etsy. Then I decided I needed to make something for her on my own. I was a month from my due date when I took an intensive 4 day sewing class from an American lady living in Singapore. In Dec 2008, I made a dress for my princess before she was born and have not stopped sewing since. Now, I'm a busy fabric crazy mum of two! I can be reached at: adeylim@gmail.com or leave a comment on the blog and I will get back to you. Cheers!
