New Patterns

I was a bad girl and bought quite a lot of patterns the last weeks (even today I bought one). So some of them arrived already. I really like the new Simplicity retro pattern. It looks like the right thing for winter sewing.
And isn´t this 30s pattern just adorable. I can imagine this for spring.
The new Colette book also arrived. From the first view it looks very informative and the patterns are simple but perfect for everyday. Maybe I can have a closer look this week, because I have a free week. I am not so sure I can sew very much, have some other more important things to do. But I hope I can write some blog posts. Still have some photos from friday.

Now I patiently wait for the other patterns to arrive, something from the 40s to today.

Weekend at my parents home

Last weekend we visited my parents. Sunday we were at our local (very tiny) zoo. The weather was so nice and it was really fun to watch the animals. The zoo is small and there are no exotic animals, but we still enjoyed it very much. And of course I took photos.

A Sunday with Dracula

Yesterday we had a Lolita meet-up here at Halle. We wanted to go to the opera to see the musical "Dracula". I was at the premiere of this play, but I couldn´t miss the chance to see some people again. It was a long time I didn´t go to a meet-up.

But before we went to the opera we were a the "Stadtgottesacker" a really old graveyard. It was so beautiful there with all the colorful leaves. I think I could have stayed there for hours and hours taking pictures. Here are some of my favorites:

I did not wear something very special lolita, because I am not in the fashion so much anymore and I wanted something comfortable for the opera. Here is what I wore:

It was fun to meet all the other lolitas. I am glad I was there. The musical was quite okay, I enjoyed it more than the first time. After the opera we were at the Wok Bar. It was a very nice afternoon and evening.

Sewing Lingerie

I was not lazy at the weekend (as usual) and sewed a teddy and an underdress. The teddy was a bit complicated because of the fabric and the lace I choose. Both are made out of silk, but the black one is much nicer. It feels so good. These two pieces hopefully will come in handy when the weather gets colder.

Hat Week - Day Six

I know this comes a bit late, but this is the hat I wore Saturday (and today). I like the shape very much. It´s so elegant and feminine. Unfortunately the color is a bit problematic. I don´t have so many things that match this shade.

Hat Week - Day Five

I got this hat only yesterday. Isn´t it dramatic? The stares of the people today were funny. This kind of hats yell for attention. I felt like a diva wearing this hat. Like a 30s movie star. Today it was cold enough to wear my pretty coat and the whole ensemble was really elegant.



Oh, and by the way, today is my birthday.

Hat Week - Day Four

This is one of the hats I wore the most. The color and the style goes really well with many of my clothes. The hat is very autumnal. It reminds me of yellow leaves. And mustard is one of my favorite colors at the moment.
