Geeky seamstress with too many ideas and not enough time. Costumes, cosplay, reading, cooking, crafting.
Ok, so yesterday I posted when the German website put up the full preview of the garment images, but today Russian Burda has put up a full preview of all the magazine images! Awesome! The model photos don’t really do anything to change my opinion of what is in this issue, BUT it appears German … More Burda July Update – I Jumped the Gun!
Jo-Ann will be having a $1.99 Butterick pattern sale Thursday June 7 – Saturday June 9. A good time to grab the latest patterns!
The German Burda website has posted the full preview of the garment images and line drawings for July. Overall I have to say this is my least favorite issue this year so far. There really aren’t any fabulously tailored pieces, and even their easy resort-wear is sort of a joke – let’s make things out … More Newsflash: July Burda Full Preview Posted!
While I do not need more fabric and I will refrain from buying any this time around, I couldn’t help but feel that it would be good to pass along the news that fabric.com is having an awesome 30/50/60% off sale. While there are lots of great fabrics to be had, I can’t help but point … More Fabric.com – Fab Sales!
I did a fair bit of talking about skate equipment this past year as I documented my transition from Atlas Plates to Roll Line Plates (and something of a transition back on my loop skates). I thought it might be fun to do something of a series on skating equipment and the options available. Since … More Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Wheels

Last year I posted about my second year sewiversary and made a few goals for year 3. Let’s see … More Three Year Sewiversary
The much anticipated and somewhat feared transition to the new Russian Burda website is complete. You can check it out here: http://www.burdastyle.ru It seems to have a lot of the features of the newer German and American websites, EXCEPT it also has a page for the journals! It has all of the magazines from this … More Newsflash – New Russian Burda Website is Up!
The German Burda website has put up their own preview of the July Burda. I am not too impressed. If you are looking for shorts or loose button-down shirt you might be in luck. Otherwise… meh. I still hold out hope for the full preview, but I am not holding out too much hope at this … More More Burda July Preview Pictures
If a sewing-obsessed person can’t sew up the patterns they are dreaming of, they apparently buy fabric to make up for it. A lot of fabric. A lot a lot of fabric. Too much fabric. So, um, yeah, I bought a lot of fabric from Fabric Mart… But to be fair, they were having a … More If One Can’t Sew…
Double header today – both the July Early Preview AND the Summer Butterick Patterns have been announced. As for the Burda announcement, well, I wasn’t too excited by the assortment of large, shapeless sacks I saw in many of the photos: Sack dress strikes again! Those shorts are not attractive. But then I saw this … More Newsflash – Burda July Early Preview AND New Butterick Patterns Announced!
