Days with Dreams 2016 calendar is a project Sandra El-Hmoudova of Sandy’s Sundays and I founded together. This project stretched from the initial idea and planning, through design and print of 100 calendars, including a launch celebration in Tempo Allegro in Prague, followed by selling the calendars online and on design market Feschmarkt in Vienna, Austria.

Month photographs, photography styling by Sandra.

Illustrations, hand lettering, floral patterns, graphic design, production coordination (print by Flash Studio in Prague) by Natalie.

  • This was two weeks ago in Brno. Today, I'm on my way to Prague. I think that might be a record of mine in the last 6 years that I live in Austria - going to Czech Rep twice in one month. . Seems like I take lots of photos with my face down (hence the last photo here on insta), hmmm. Anyways, it's the t-shirt that plays the main role here, not my face 😇 . T-shirt fabric: Autumn Daydreaming Kombi, coming soon at @lillestoff 😍
  • On learning how to sew . I've only started to sew this year in March when I bought myself my first sewing machine. I've learnt how to sew 10 years ago at uni, but that was during my textile design studies where we didn't learn a thing about sewing clothing, we used the machine to sew apllique on textiles, embroid and "draw" with it. So my experience creating clothing was ZERO. . It's really not that hard though; in March, I simply followed the manual which came with the sewing machine and learned step by step how to thread the machine, sew and all other little bits like exchanging the foot and making buttonholes (that was scary at first 🙈). . If you want to make your own clothing you totally CAN! After about a week of fiddling around with the machine settings, I got myself my first sewing pattern and simply followed it carefully step by step without ever having done it before. Not that hard! 🎉🎉🎉 You can totally do that too 💪
  • This is how my Braches + Burgundy dress should look like when finished 😇 Photo @colettepatterns (sewing pattern Moneta) edited to see how my dress will look like 👌 Now I just can't screw up the sewing part 😂 PS. Kinda need that pendant too 😇🙈
  • BURGUNDY was a clear winner of my little survey here on Stories a few days ago when I was asking which color to combine Branches with. . I secretly hoped that burgundy would win and apparently you guys have the same taste 👌🙈😗 . I've ordered the burgundy colored fabric today (the new @lillestoff French Terry fabric called " Sommersweat Uni weinrot") and will be making my first Moneta dress out of the two fabrics. Looking forward!! 🎉🎉🎉
  • Well and this will be a dress for me 😇 My sort of a winter, comfortable yet elegant dress ✅
  • I like to see how my designs will work on actual clothing before they are produced (Photoshop is a truly good friend of mine 😇) and this men sweatshirt is looking pretty cool I think. I'm even thinking it could be a pass for male teenagers, no? Am I being too naive with that? 😂
  • Celebration is the name of my new design for @lillestoff, available for shops to pre-order as of today. It'll be printed on French Terry Knit fabric, which is great for cold weather apparel like sweatshirts and warm dresses. I think this design will work not just for women, but for men too, don't you think? ✌
  • This is how my table looks like most of the time 😉 The photo is purposefully a closeup, because there is lots of papers and pens lying around, color samples, Pantone fans and it's a bit of a mess 😂 The mess where I feel the best though. My flow state mess 😄
