Hello! I’m Chimene, a multi-passioned individual with a love for all things creative. My creative world revolves around crafting, sewing, and flat lay photography. Born in the 80s and living in Dortmund, Germany, I am a mother of two—my wonderful son and daughter. They inspire me every day. When I’m not working on brand and web design projects for my clients, you’ll find me indulging in these favorite hobbies. This blog is my happy place. Here, I get to share my passions with like-minded people from all around the world.
My Sewing Journey and Creative Passion
My interest in sewing started after my daughter was born. I used to watch my mom sew everyday clothes when I was younger. This planted the seed, but it wasn’t until 2021 that I truly embraced sewing. I started with small projects like pillowcases. Gradually, I expanded my toolkit to include more advanced tools like the Brother Innov-is F410 and the Singer Heavy Duty 14HD854 serger. Sewing has become one of my favorite creative hobbies. I even tackled bigger projects, like sewing curtains for my kitchen!

My Creative World of Flat Lay Photography
Flat lay photography is another passion in my creative world. It brings my artistic side to life. My journey into this art form began when I received a Canon EOS 100D as a gift from my partner. This compact DSLR quickly became my creative companion. It helps me capture intricate and beautiful flat lays. From cozy desk scenes to styled crafting supplies, my Canon EOS 100D never fails to deliver stunning images. I use simple setups, including the PULUZ Fotostudio Box & Softbox, to create professional-quality photos. Plus, I offer these high-quality flat lay images for free!

Exploring Crafting in My Creative World
Crafting is another love of mine. It’s a key part of my creative world where I get to explore different materials and techniques. One of my favorite projects was creating a DIY Christmas village with my son. We transformed an old floor plan into a winter wonderland using greyboard, fake trees, and even real lights. Crafting allows me to connect with my family. It helps me create beautiful pieces that add a personal touch to our home.
