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.

Some photos from the weekend

I really like autumn colors.

I sewed pants

The new Colette Clover pattern got me. I saw some great examples online and had to try my hands on it.
I wanted something colorful, so I bought a bright yellow cotton stretch.
Sewing was not complicated. I made no pockets, because I wanted it simple and don´t thought them necessary. I had some fitting issues. I know I should have made a muslin, but as it was only a try I skipped this. Or you can see this version as my muslin.
Unfortunately I don´t think this is really my style. First I am no pants type. I am really comfortable with my skirts and feel strange in pants. If pants I like them wide. Second I don´t think they look good on me. Maybe it´s only because it´s so unusal for me, but somehow I think I look better in wearing skirts or dresses.
What do you think pants or skirts for me?

Hat Week - Day Three

This is my newest addition. And I already love it. It´s so comfortable to wear and looks really great. Some things I found out for myself about hats are:

~ I like asymetrical hats, somehow I think they look more interesting
~ I like the small hats or better to say caps, because they are easier to wear and are not so over-the- top

I also like my other hats, that don´t fit the bill, but I noticed the hats I wear the most are made like this.

This hat reminds me of "Gone with the wind" (the curtain dress) and a bit of a Baroque feeling. After I bought it, I felt a bit guilty for buying another hat, but now I don´t regret it. I hope I will wear it a lot.
