Newsflash: July Burda Full Preview Posted!
June 6, 2012
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!
Fabric.com – Fab Sales!
June 5, 2012
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!
Three Year Sewiversary
June 1, 2012
Well, since I have been so overwhelmed by skating sewing, I completely missed my one year Blogiversary. I didn’t want to miss my three year Sewiversary though, so I am making sure to not to miss it. 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.

More Burda July Preview Pictures
May 30, 2012
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 One Can’t Sew…
May 29, 2012
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…
Newsflash – Burda July Early Preview AND New Butterick Patterns Announced!
May 23, 2012
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!

May 22, 2012
The old French Burda website is soon to be no more, and they have moved to a new web address: http://www.burda.fr I can’t say I am a fan of the new website – it looks like they have very limited previews (only a few pictures and the table of contents). I am hoping that this … More New Burda France Website!
Totally Stoned

This past week has been crazy! Presentation at school/work/real life thing that I do (I don’t know how to describe grad school… it is not a job but it isn’t really school… oh well, whatever) occupied a lot of time. And then preparing for upcoming skating competitions (we are heading into the major part of … More Totally Stoned
