My friend Leigh Adams, who I’ve mentioned many times here, told me about the most amazing mosaic artist that I had to share with all of you. His name is Ruslan Sergeev and he is a Russian artist whose work is all over the world. He does mosaic playgrounds. All I can say is WOW! I think you will too. He works in Israel most of the time but his sculptures are all over the world. These are absolutely fantastic!!

Sewing Review: Burda’s Sari Sewing Pattern – A Creative Twist on Tradition
Let’s be honest—there’s something truly special about wearing a sari. Whether it’s for a family function, a festival, or just because you love the elegance it brings, a sari is timeless. But imagine the joy of actually sewing one yourself? That’s where the Burda Sari Sewing Pattern steps in.
If you’ve ever wanted to make your own sari-style outfit but didn’t know where to start, this sewing pattern is a great option. It’s designed to help you create a sari-inspired ensemble that looks polished and fits well—without the hassle of figuring out the draping from scratch.
While it’s not a traditional sari in the six-yard sense, this pattern gives you that classic look with a pre-stitched feel—perfect for busy women who want to wear a sari but appreciate modern convenience.
Don’t worry if you’re new to sewing. The instructions are clear and beginner-friendly. It walks you through each step, from fabric cutting to stitching, and best of all—it removes the fear of “how do I wear this?” that sometimes comes with traditional draping.
If you’ve got a basic sewing machine and a love for DIY, this pattern is a great way to get started.
To get that graceful drape we all love, go for lightweight fabrics like chiffon, georgette, or crepe. These fabrics move beautifully and give that fluid, elegant sari look. Whether you choose something bold and festive or subtle and sophisticated, this pattern adapts easily.
This is more than just a sewing pattern—it’s a chance to blend your cultural heritage with your love of handmade. Whether you’re making something for yourself or stitching a sari-style outfit as a gift, it’s deeply satisfying to create a piece that reflects your roots and your creativity.
