Lavender Stories Design A place for sewing lessons, sewing patterns, soft toys and more. Welcome to Lavender Stories! Ahhhh that was a strange beginning of my obsession with sewing!

I am Miglena, and currently my biggest passion is to create things from fabric - clothes, home decor items, toys and I do not know where I will go next! I spent some years in the corporate world, but as I was spending more and more nights sewing, and daydreaming of beautiful fabrics during the long office days, I was more and more dreaming of spending more time with what I enjoyed very much – sewi

ng. After two years like that I am now ready to dedicate myself to my passion to create. I am really thankful that I had the luck to work for 5 years in AIESEC, the world’s largest student-run organisation. I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, and learn that following dreams and passions is possible. During that period I also got infected by the travel fever and desire to see as much of the world as possible. I have lived and worked in 4 countries besides my own, and my times in India and Armenia were priceless experiences. My mother and grandmother showed me how to sew clothes, knit and crochet. I was not that interested in those things at the time, and successfully forgot almost everything. And then, some years ago, I bought a sewing machine to see if I can make clothes that are more interesting and unique than what I could find in the shops. I still remember the wild excitement when I managed to make my first pillow cover, and there was no coming back. I want that excitement and satisfaction again and again, so I keep sewing as much as I can and knitting from time to time.

Cards are fun, Valentine's day is fun, and free cards are even more fun :)
Two free digital cards in my Etsy shop through 14.02.

Sewing is not always perfect (well, actually most times it isn't), and that's how my sewing reality looks like right now. A neckband gone very, very wrong.

It's very natural to try and show great looking results, but that's not how everyday sewing really is.

Yes, I can fix it, and I will, once I calm down :-D
No, I'm not going to sell that, it's for myself, so at least that is great :-D

I'd like to celebrate my birthday with four free digital prints from my new Etsy shop :)
Also, you can use code HAPPYLP for 50% off for everything in the shop.

I'll add photos of the other prints in the comments.
(the free prints have a price of USD 0.50, as Etsy direct checkout will not proceed with a lower payment than that, and I do not have the logistics for a better solution at the moment, but if you'd like more than one of them, you can use the coupon as well)
Both will be valid today and tomorrow.

Another prototype of a pattern of a cat. It is getting really close to what I imagined and drew, but still not quite there. I like the eyes this time, but they will probably get changed. Going back...
