Liebe Leser, ich habe mich ganz mutig, vielleicht etwas voreilig und bestimmt ein wenig blauäugig zum Weihnachtskleid Sew-Along angemeldet, das Katharina auf dem Me Made Mittwoch-Blog organisiert (Danke!).
Brauche ich ein Kleid? Nö. Habe ich Langeweile? Nö. Habe ich letztes Jahr festgestellt, wie gut mir die ruhige Handarbeit im Jahresendstress tut? Genau. Und deshalb probiere ich es dieses Jahr wieder.
Letztes Jahr hatte ich meiner Tochter ein Kleid genäht, das wird wohl dieses Jahr noch passen.
Deshalb habe ich mir eins für mich ganz allein ausgesucht. Und vielleicht... füllt es ja sogar eine Lücke im Schrank. Schicke Kleider? Hab ich. Festliche Kleider? Hab ich. Gemütliche Kleider... Hmmm... Da geht noch was!
Wer beim WKSA den Glamour sucht, muss jetzt vielleicht weglesen. Sorry!

Sorry for always beginning in German these days!
I'm trying to be a better member of the German sewing community. German sewing bloggers were few and far between when I started blogging, so my blogging idols were all in English-speaking countries. Now there are hundreds in Germany and they are very active, organizing me-made days and sewalongs.
The current sewalong is for a Christmas dress, and I joined the same sewalong last year to make DD a festive dress.
The dress will still fit her this Christmas, so I'm enjoying a selfish sewing moment! I had to think for a bit what kind of dress makes sense to me. I'm not the type to collect festive robes only to wear them once. I have a few festive and elegant dresses but I'm decidedly lacking in the chic-but-casual department.

So a knit dress is in order! I immediately thought of this Burdastyle pattern which especially tickled my fancy because I had a full-blown star obsession when I was 14. And 15. And 16. And... It's never to late for a little sweet sixteen style, right (leave me my illusions!)?
Happy sewing!
That's great that the German sewing community is getting into blogging. I wish it were the case when I lived there 2004-2010. I could have practiced my German reading them. :-) All I could find then was quilting guilds.
ReplyDeleteHey Jenny, how about reading the blogs now? If you're interested, follow my link in the post above to the me-made-mittwoch blog and you'll find lots of linked-in German sewing blogs there! :-)
