Sewing Fails & First Projects: What I Learned (And What Not to Do!) as a Beginner
Welcome to Sew Aliche!
I’m Alice, but growing up, my mum used to call me “Ali-che,” which inspired the name for this blog. Sew Aliche is where I’ll share my DIY projects, from sewing to crafts to home interiors.
I started sewing in 2017 while in medical school, and it quickly became my creative escape. Since then, I've used sewing as a way to unwind, learn, and express myself. In this space, I’ll share everything I’ve learned through trial and error, from sewing pattern reviews to tutorials, DIY projects, and plenty of mistakes along the way.
Join me on this journey as I continue to explore sewing, crafts, and home improvement.

Learn from my mistakes (because, trust me, there were many!) and see how I turned my beginner mishaps into lessons that shaped my sewing journey.
