Hello everyone!I hope you all are well and enjoying the holidays with your loved ones!I am taking the time off to relax and spend some really needed time with family and friends!This is just a quick post to let you know that now I have an Instagram account!You can follow me @thewardrobeproject

Here are some snapshots of our Christmas decorations:

Have a nice week everyone!

Unfortunately I failed to follow the 12 days of Christmas Cheer mostly because of the crazy amount of work I had for uni!I am though trying really hard to finish all my Christmas presents!I love giving handmade presents at Christmas and I try to make most of my presents every year!This year I decided I won't do much for Christmas decoration since I will be going home for Christmas,but I hope I'll find some time to bake some goodies and make my Christmas cards either this weekend or next week!Right know uni is kinda crazy,I have an overload of work that needs to be done and I can't wait for Christmas break to come,so I can find some time to sew again!But I thought it would be fun to share some ideas for Christmas party outfits!

Happy December everyone(and let's pretend this is not a belated post!).December is one of my favorite months of the year,mainly because it includes Christmas,which I really love!From the decorations,to the songs and the movies,the presents and the tree,there is really nothing that I don't like about Christmas!Yesterday I read the "Twelve Days of Cheer" post on Maie dae blog and I really like the idea of doing festive things for the next twelve days as we approach Christmas day!I thought it would be so much fun to join the festivities some of these days!Here is "The Christmas Cheer Bucket List" from Maie Dae:

* December, Saturday 1st - Make an advent calendar
* December, Sunday 2nd - Listen to Christmas music & watch our favorite movies
* December, Monday 3rd - Play in the snow
* December, Tuesday 4th - Make Christmas cards
* December, Wednesday 5th - Decorate our home
* December, Thursday 6th - Dress up for a Christmas party
* December, Friday 7th - Traditions past, present & future
* December, Saturday 8th - Host a party and decorate our tables
* December, Sunday 9th - Make a wreath
* December, Monday 10th - Put together our Christmas wishlist
* December, Tuesday 11th - Bake goodies
* December, Wednesday 12th - Reflect

Unfortunately I didn't have the time to make an advent calendar yesterday so I would join today with one of my favorite things about Christmas-the movies and the songs!Today i watched one of my all time favorite Christmas movies "Love Actually".I know that you are supposed to watch all the classic Christmas movies like Home Alone and White Christmas,but I really love this movie!It portrays all the different kinds of love in different situations and how each person handles love with his own way!If you haven't watched it,I strongly recommend you do!
As for the music I can't really decide about my favorite songs,because I find that I like to listen to different Christmas music in different situations!For example I really like listening to classic Christmas songs while I decorate the tree!Lately I've been listening this Christmas playlist on 8tracks.

How about you?What is your favorite Christmas movie?And will you join the 12 days of Christmas cheer?

Tank top/Necklace:H&M
Skirt:Made by me

This skirt was inspired by the one Rihanna wore at her videoclip "We found love" from Jeremy Scott Spring 2012 collection.My friend Despina really wanted a similar one so when we found two old pairs of men's Levis jeans at a thrift store,we decided to make our own.It's actually the top parts of the jeans,sewn together at the sides,turned upside down,with an elastic sewn at the top,forming a paper bag waistband.The denim was quite stiff and a little difficult to work with,but I really like how it came out!

Ina,from Sky Turtle blog just made my day by featuring me in her "8 Amazing Sewing Blogs You Should Read" post.I can't even describe how excited and honored I am to be included in a post with all these awesome sewing bloggers!Ina's blog is one of my favorite sewing blogs out there and it is such an inspiration for me!She also runs a sewing course for sewing and pattern making in her blog which is actually how I discovered it!

One of my favorite things is discovering new sewing blogs and getting inspired by what other people make!I was so excited to meet and learn more about all these creative sewing bloggers!You should definitely check Ina's post here!

Thanks so much Ina for your kind words!
