I’m incredibly late to the party by posting about The Uniform Project, but it deserves to have a lot of attention drawn to it.

On May 1st 2009, Sheena Matheiken pledged to wear one dress for 365 days in aid of the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots charity [...]

I’m currently translating the instructions of this top from Burda Mag’s 02/10 issue, listening to trashy German music as I go, dealing with both my German and sewing needs in one fell swoop!
Multi-tasking at its best, or a sad way to spend a Monday evening? Who cares? What’s your best multi-tasking moment?
Is that my dress on the front page of BurdaStyle? IT IS??
AWESOME.
Needless to say, I’m super excited – this is the first time I’ve ever been featured on BurdaStyle’s front page!
Despite the lack of posting of late, I’m still alive! My computer died (AGAIN) so it’s been a little difficult to get things [...]
Let me tell you : toddling around Ogmore Castle in those heels is no laughing matter… well, it is if you’re watching me do it but that’s beside the point…
This was the last ever project to come from good old Viktoria the German sewing machine! This year at the Summer Ball I wanted [...]

Hurrah! After much technical difficulties the photos are here! As I mentioned way back, my first Summer Essentials project was Simplicity 2591 in a velvet flocked fabric.
Shortly after finishing this dress, myself and my lovely friends Martha and Cora went to Ogmore Castle to do a mini-photoshoot! It was such fun. Countless ANTM jokes were [...]

A friend of mine has decided to take up photography, so I’m taking advantage of that and ‘hired’ her as my photographer! I have completed my first [...]

My oh my, what a week it has been. I made a much anticipated return to the Sea of Swan this week, and it’s been fantastic. It made missing Germany so much easier! I won’t lie though, much drunken debauchery was involved, but so were many many pub lunches, living room dancing, the realisation that [...]

I’ve been sewing properly for about a year now; this time last year I made the Marie skirt using a sewing machine properly for the first time after it had lain untouched for years. The reason I began sewing was because last Summer, like this Summer, I didn’t have a job, and needed something that [...]
As I’m moving back to the good old British Isles next week, there were certain items that I had to get rid of. Much was sacrificed for my departure; it’s bizarre how much crap you accumulate in nine months. I’ve filled two Rewe bags full of clothes and shoes to be donated and given away [...]

I cracked out not one, but two skirts last week! This one’s from the Cynthia Rowley pattern Simplicity 2512. I made it from an impulse-purchase red gabardine (see, you can tell I didn’t get it from the bargain bin because I actually know what kind of fabric it is ) which was pretty [...]
