spring sewing with Burda

I have been browsing BurdaStyle a lot lately for spring and summer sewing inspirations and am realising how much I miss actual garment sewing! Burda was my go-to website when I first started learning to sew and it really is such a great resource for sewers with lots of learning tools and tips and an awesome community to share your creations with! Here are a few of my recent summery faves...

And in Me Made March news I have so far stuck to my goal to wear something me made everyday this month! It has only been three days and I may have to change my pledge to only include week days (hello sweats and pj's on the weekend!) but I am enjoying the challenge so far and love the fact that some of the clothing I have made in the past is now getting more use. I have been snapping a few shots every morning and will probably post here and to the flickr group at the end of each week with that weeks 5 outfits. I just hope I can stay with it for a month! How often do you wear something you have created? h&k, Mandi

  2. Thank you so much, Mandi!
    Happy to be featured. By the way, I wear my creation almost every time when I go out:o Well, I don't go out so much, that's why.

  5. neat challenge! Whenever someone asks if I sewed/made anything I'm wearing, I'm always disappointed if I realize I'm not. If it's chilly out there's a good chance I'm wearing some sort of accessory I knit myself, but I'm afraid to say my sewn garments don't get too much use, other than simple skirts!
