I‘m still thinking about that cool photoshoot in 2020. Costume and headpiece is selfmade.

I like the regency era and Jane Austen. So I took the opportunity for a little walk in the park in regency clothes. Do you like such dresses too? I heard many people hate them. 😭

I made a dress out of fabric scraps from previous projects and it felt like a walk through the past.

Sometimes I send my friends little postcards I painted. Which one is your favorite?

I talked about a WGT festival Outfit some days ago. So here is the outfit! Basically it’s a mixture out of old outfit parts with a new headpiece because I ran out of time. Not my best outfit, I think..?

Three years ago I made a twenties inspired dress and it was a huge step out of my comfort zone. I always thought my body shape wasn’t suitable for such a dress. I‘m still not sure about it, though. 🙈

Did you make a wrap dress before? It’s really easy and you should try it. Here is mine. ☺️
(I made a black version too but the space is so limited to show more pics here. Gonna post them in later.)

One of the things I like the most is to paint flowers on fabric. Do you like it? 💐

I just love this castle and can’t wait to visit it at the end of the year again. 💚🤍
(And yes, I will sew a new dress for this visit)

A friend of mine has a cat and I needed a present for her, so I made a tote bag with her cat on it.😸
The cat is painted on cotton jacquard with fabric paint.
(Last pic is her real cat for comparison XD)

I got some nice purple fabric during my vacation and I think about to combine it with the fabric from Sartor (pink and blue one) now. Maybe silver lace and my „Borgia pattern“ which I already used twice. What do you think? 🤔

Last year I sewed that Bridgerton inspired dress for the WGT festival in Leipzig. Not sure what I‘ll sew for this year… I‘m kinda demotivated.😕 Any ideas?
