Few days off for blog maintenance!


I don't get CSS but I'm trying to get my blog with a better layout. So I'm apologising in advance for the mess I'm making to the layout until I settle with the 'right' one.

As I'm learning as I go along I want try a few ideas. Hopefully get the blog back with regular updates in a few days. I don't plan to make all the changes at once and If you know a great tutorial, send my way! 

love, Rachel

Sunshine... Enjoying while it lasts.

Coconut & Chia Cookies



WHAT YOU NEED

2 eggs whites
1 tsp liquid sweetener (or accordance to your taste) I think agave much better than aspartame but it's a tolerated item.
1 tbsp coconut milk powder unsweetened
2 tbsp oat bran
1tbsp chia seeds
If you have Dukan coconut flavouring, use 2 to 3 drops otherwise vanilla essence it's always a good alternative or 1tsp of cocoa powder.

WHAT TO DO

Pre heated oven 180 C & bake for 8- 10mins or till ready
Whisk the egg whites till peaks
Mix all the ingredients, then fold slowly the egg whites.
Low carb dukan cookies. Deliciously heathy!

Indie Patterns Month!

Our community is getting bigger and bigger with a lot of creative independent business popping out in the sewing scene. I personally feel very strong about supporting and encouraging fellow sewing enthusiast pursue their dream. We gain a lot by helping develop and shape the future of our hobbies.


What caught my eye recently:

Kat is hosting June as the month of indie patterns. What a fabulous idea. Of course, I'm in! 
My talented girl, Nettie is teaching a sew- along with grainline scout tee at Kollabora.
Heather, bombed the sewing world with this hot pattern. I'm currently seeking my fabric. Peek some of my choices on instagram....

Currently my cutting table... papercut!

Are you sewing indie patterns? What is your current favourite design?
