So, while I was initially uninspired by the early preview for the March issue of Burda, I ended up really liking a lot of the styles in this issue, and it seems that having the magazine in my position has inspired a fair bit of fabric acquisition and unexpected project planning. Which I think is … More Drat You March Burda!
Today is a two-for-one! The early preview of the March BurdaStyle has been posted, as well as the full preview for the Spring/Summer Burda Plus magazine. I also have a bit of a sewing update at the bottom of the post! ************************************************************************** The Burda Style preview for March has been posted on both the Russian … More Burda – March Preview and Spring/Summer Plus Magazine
This past year I was having a lot of fun working to complete the items for my Tim Gunn inspired sewing challenge. I might have gotten a bit skewed away from my goals, what with most of summer being taken up with sewing for others, and at the end of the year I found myself … More 2013 Sewing Plans
I am a bit frustrated because the sewing mojo is high – I have a lot of projects I want to make, it is finally getting cold out, so I can actually wear the coats on my list, and my brain keeps wandering to all the things I want to sew. Not to mention all … More (Lack of) Sewing Progress

First, the good news: the jacket muslin is … More Two Muslins and Other Thoughts
Ok, McCall’s 6035, you win. After 8 months, 4 muslins, and 1 break down, I give up. You win. I wave the white flag. I sadly thought that good reviews and cup sizing would be enough to bring you to my side. It was not. Ok, you win. This time around, anyway. So in favor … More Waving the White Flag

I didn’t have time to take any pictures (well, ok, I decided not to because my muslin fabric was … More Sewing Updates – Shirts and Pants in Progress
Yes, my original sewing plans for early fall have been interrupted – by more sewing plans! I have completed the first two items on my original list, and was supposed to be working on a skating costume tutorial for you all… but I am allowing myself to be distracted temporarily. Skating practices are starting to … More Sewing Plans, Interrupted
Ok, it has been a while since I have had to plan out my sewing schedule, and while I should get back to my button-down shirt and Patrones pants that are mid-project with patterns that are either ready to be cut for muslin #2 or have been traced from the magazine already, but I have entirely … More Sewing Plans – Early Fall
