Me-Made-May 2015
I, Konstanze of tabeakatharina.wordpress.com, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’15. I endeavour to wear at least one me-made garment each day for the duration of May 2015. I’ll take a picture of my outfits each day and will show them to you in a weekly round-up, probably on Sundays. (I’m so excited! Last year […]

Pocahontas Cosplay: The Search for Fabric
I gotta be honest here, I do not like spending time at the local fabric store. Let me explain: It’s not because I don’t enjoy browsing for fabric. I could’ve spent hours in Eurokangas for example. I just don’t like spending time at this particular fabric store, because it’s warm and stuffy there, and I […]

A Sunny Afternoon in Violet
My friend Lisa is very pretty and very fashionable – in fact, she has a really awesome fashion and lifestyle blog, Mrs. O.Gehry And Her Curves. It’s in German, but the outfit posts alone are worth a look. My favourite is this 50s inspired skirt and striped shirt combo! I think that’s the only clue […]

A Stitch in Time: To Wear With A Summer Suit
I wish I could say I finished this sweater in the time between posting my Such Flattering Puff Sleeves sweater and today. The truth of the matter is, sadly, that I started this garment sometime in August 2014 and have been working on it until March 2015, with long breaks inbetween. To think this was […]

Gaenor in Grey
Don’t you agree that I absolutely needed another shawl? I definitely don’t have enough things to put around my neck … 😛 There was still leftover yarn from my Such Flattering Puff Sleeves sweater, so I decided to make another shawl from Corrina Ferguson’s Sideways Shawls collection. My Bakersfield is cute and so soft thanks to […]

Let’s start sewing again!
Yesterday I looked at this blog and realized I haven’t sewn something since the summer … what happened?! Long story, but it made me want to sit down at my sewing machine and start a project immediately. I pulled out the parts for this Burda wrap skirt pattern (07/2014) I had already cut out last year, […]
