The polka dot baby dress

Hello there! Summertime is getting near, so it is time to prepare summer clothing for the niece. For this project I copied the outline of an existing fitting dress and made it a bit bigger, so it will fit the kid in the coming months. As a fabric we choose green with white polka dots on the front and rest for the lining.

The halters are knotted and I added push buttons to the back of the dress.

Coffee capsule storage

Hello there. If you own a coffee machine which needs capsules and you want to store the capsules in reach but out of sight, you might consider this little hack.

I mounted a few sections of "H" profile PVC guide. With about 2 m of plastic pieces and double sided adhesive tape I got 6 lines of capsules hanging under the cupboard.
