As I mentioned in the last post, I made three dresses in two days on a recent vacation. Here is dress #2. This one was made with left over fabric from a kurta (tunic) that my masi (aunt) had got tailored at some point. It is made up of a lot of cut pieces. If […]
I got back from a much-needed break a few weeks ago. And while I did absolutely nothing the first few days, by the end I was itching to do something creative. So I made three dresses in two days! I will share them with all of you here in time. I sort of had my […]

Old denims. Every house has at least one pair. And I hate, absolutely hate, throwing away an old pair of jeans. They are so comfortable – almost like a security blanket. The other day I wore a pair that I have had for a gazillion years and went downstairs for a walk. And a dear […]
