Ich hatte ja angedacht, eine europäische Jahresgarderobe zu nähen : Französisch im Frühling, Italienisch im Sommer, Englisch im Herbst und Russisch im Winter. Auch wenn ich nicht so viel genäht habe, wie angedacht, habe ich ein Frühlingsteil fertig. Die Stoffe dafür waren einfach zu teuer. Aber ich werde weiterhin versuchen, die Outfitsstoffe zu finde. Aber ich schweife ab.Ich habe gesagt,he was…

Something always comes up. Do you remember my Emily in Paris blouse sewing post ? I wanted to start a Sewalong post series with this very blouse. But as always : I plan and the gods are laughing their heads off. I traced the pattern and that was it. Until last week. I’ve been on holiday since then and I was determined to sew my Emily in Paris outfits. I wanted to sew four garments in total. A…

Today I’m starting my new blog post series ‘Sewalong with me … ‘in which I start sewing the Emily in Paris Tele from the last Burda easy together with you. Pure fashion blogging was too much just advertising and not enough added value for me at some point, so I’m learning to use my sewing machine together with you (again). This will be a counter-movement to the well-known fast fashion, or rather…

I had thought about blogging more about fashion again. Before this blog was reorganised, I was also a fashion blogger and quite successful. So fashion again. And as I also need some content, I thought about sewing my own pieces. (Also because I need more practice in sewing again. The last few pieces I wanted to sew turned out so semi-good. I need to work more with the sewing machine). Ich hatte…

I came across a Burda easy in Rewe. The theme : Looks à la Emily (probably “in Paris”) for the Parisian lifestyle. I’m currently putting together an annual French capsule collection from Classy yet Trendy anyway, so I thought I’d take a look at it.There are some really nice pieces in there and I’m thinking about making a few of them. I’m already so out of practice. The skirts might be a bit too…

Burda Easy Magazine 2020 #2 #sewing #Burda #BurdaEasy #magazine #patterns #sewing #springsewing #inspiration

I’m pretty sure that at this point Burda Easy is just a bunch of reprints from their other pattern collections, but I think that it’s still worth looking at. Also, apparenlty Roltek is now distributing Burda Easy in North America? They sent me one yesterday and I am super confusedbecause (1) they weren’t carrying BurdaEasy before and (2) I never ordered it from them? I did renew Burda Easy with…

The preview of the first Burda Easy magazine for 2020 is up on the German Burda site. It looks like it is going to follow the recent Burda Easy format, with 3 variations of 6 styles that cover a range of garment types. These styles are usually pretty simple, but also quite trendy. Let’s take a look:

1A, 1B, 1C. I think this top/sweater/dress is a great pattern to include in the Burda Easy…
