Hi, I’m Mariana M

Welcome to my blog of DIY!

If you are here you most probably want to know more about me, so keep on reading 🙂

I begin to say that I love to sew and make cloths, but I can sew other things. 

I guess you are wandering how did I learn. Well, my journey starts since I was little and I was playing whit my grandmother sewing machine. I’m kidding I did not learn how to sew then but I have always had an inclination to it. When I grew older I started to make clothes for myself, sewed by hand (my grand mother sewing machine did not work anymore)

After graduating I got a job and put aside my passion, but after several years I wandered what if I start making clothes again. I said to myself that I should take up a class or something because I wanted to level up my passion.  Short time after having this in mind, I won a course of pattern making where I learned how to actually make clothes.

After finishing the course I knew how to make the pattern of a garment but the question was, how would I sew it. So I bought a sewing machine and a serger and other tools to make my journey easier and started watching videos, reading articles and after a while I got the hang of it. I started making myself clothes, dresses, pants.  After I have seen that it was going pretty well I said to myself that I need a bigger challenge.  My weeding was approaching so I’ve made my weeding dresses. I thought if I will do this, I can do anything. And I made it 🙂 (you can see some pictures here https://mari.thems.ro/vineyard-weeding/)

This blog is about sharing my passion of designing clothes and sewing with you and help you in the wonderful world of making your own clothes.
