About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internets. We talk all sewing, fabric and historical costuming here. I am Ella, a 31 year old Swiss lady with an interest in fashion history, history, old movies (yes, the silent ones) and cats. 

In my Home live:

69 Bats

1 Cat

1 Boyfriend

On my blog you can find my sewing journey through my different projects. I am neither a professional sewist, nor do I have a deep knowledge in fashion history. But I am working on both and if you want to come along on this ride, you’re welcome to do so.

Next to my posts, you can also find patterns for download that I offer for free as well as my little shop, where I sell patterns, fabrics and books from my collection. 

My blog is named after my beautiful little black cat Mr. Spinalzo, in case you were wondering 😉
