I’m feeling rather grim today due to Bierbike Koeln 2010 (also known as Bierbike Round 2) – it was lots of fun, but we didn’t get an awful lot of sleep.
Anyway last time round we never really got a decent picture of us on the Bierbike, so (courtesy of Beefy’s camera because mine was [...]

That’s a first!

This dress is the first time I used my Christmas overlocker, the first time I spent a disgusting amount on fabric*, the first time I bought fabric from John Lewis, the first time I’ve worked with a nice jersey and the first dress that I wore to my first real sewing lesson today!
Whew, that’s [...]

German Wednesday : Schnee in Deutschland? Kein Panik!
January 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
In this edition of German Wednesday… SNOW!
Yup, it’s still here, but it’s not as fun as it was earlier in the week because instead of being squishy and entertaining to make tracks in, it’s all iced over and rubbish for clumsy people to walk over. Also am terrified to wear high boots that were bought [...]

THAT WILL BE TWO POUNDS AND A BUTTON PLEASE

I think any girl will recognise that feeling of dread when they approach a checkout after a mad shopping spree in their favourite clothing store. Just pick up what you want, don’t bother to check the price tag, and leave the cringing for that moment you see the total and hand over your credit [...]
German Word of the Week
January 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I thought it would be fun to have a little feature in which I chose a fun German word every week!
Nashorn (n) – Rhinoceros
Fun fact : Nashorn is a lot easier to spell than Rhinocerous.
When walking around Dortmund, you’ll see these winged rhinoceroses everywhere, ( in Berlin you’ll see a similar thing but [...]
Painfully slow progress

When I decided to undertake a version of Modcloth’s Night Flurries dress, I thought it would be a fairly simple endeavour, but it’s seemed to be one of those projects which has taken FOREVER.
This was sometime last week, when I pinned all the pieces on Sally to get a feel of the garment. The bottom [...]

Endlich, Hallo Deutschland 2010
January 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
So I’ve been neglecting the German part of this blog for a while now, so I’ve decided a Wednesday update would be a good idea. German Wednesdays! Kind of like orange Wednesdays but without the cinema, but plus German adventures! I’ll just write anything interesting that’s happened to me during the week, and/or any fun [...]

Goodies!

I got this gorgeous fabric at John Lewis for £2.75 a metre! Say whaaat? I was lusting after it all Christmas, which isn’t surprising. Open my closet and you’ll find the majority of my clothes are floral. In fact, I showed my Mum and she rolled her eyes and said ‘why does it ALWAYS [...]
