meow, must eat fabric.

why I don't post this much these days:

First of all, we'll move back to Austria in 15 days. (aaah, so soon!)
So there's a lot of stuff to do.
Packing, sewing curtains, planning where to put the new furniture, searching for new furniture ;)

And second, two furry little babies try to "help" me with everything I want to do.
Well, not always helping, but sure it's fun!






Great help. Really.

Summertime for Surferbabe

Haha, I went colourcrazy!
Due to longlasting problems with my back I can't kneel on the floor cutting out patterns.
So I "invented" a lot of "patterns" for dresses and skirts which contain just rectangles and simple stuff like that!

That way it's easy for me to cut.
Sewing and everything I can do on a desk goes ok with my back, so I tried to make the best out of this simple patterns.

And I have to say - I loove my new colourful dresses and skirts!

They are just so perfect for summer, my alter ego may be a surferbabe *lol*

Nostalgia - Me four years ago

I just found this wonderful picture when trying to reduce the chaos in my files and flat ;)

This was taken on the evening of my "Maturaball", the formal ball in the last year of highschool.
My dancepartner on the pic and me did the last figure of our latin-american dancepart, when a photographer caught this moment - good job I think ;)

*nostalgia*

goodbye, violin. no to prodigies!

FINALLY!
I'm proud to present the Goodbye, Violin Outfit I made a couple of months ago.
I wanted to wear it to an Emilie Autumn concert, unfortunately she got ill and the concert was cancelled.
Since then I lost some weight, so the corset doesn't fit anymore now :(
On the pics it's a bit too big too, so cut me some slack please ;)
But I do have some pics for you.

The shooting was a way to say goodbye to playing the violin, which I stopped this year :)

Thanks to Birgit Pichler Photography for the wonderful pictures!













The outfit contains:
The Bolero-sleeves-thingy:
Made from some rough woolly fabric with blue flowers woven in it.

The Corset:
The fanciest I ever made.
Made from beige cotton Satin, offwhite lace and the same woolly fabric as above. Add some laces and ribbons and there it is!






The Underskirts
Two of them, my grandma gave them to me. She wore them when she was young :)

The Skirt:
a simple Skirt made from some really cool fabric I swapped, with silver lurex woven in it.
There is a rabbit-heart brooche
on it, matching the rabbit buttons on the back of the skirt
and the


Rabbit Purse
Simple and girly!

Boots:
bought them, but spiced them up with fabric straps so they match.

What I will miss most...

It's settled now, I'm moving to another city. Although there is lots of stuff I won't miss at all, here some inspiration what I'm leaving behind.
I took a walk to the lake right above the village today (and took the first outdoor bath this season ;) )







Yes I really took a bath today ;)
