The Late Night Sewist

Hello all,

my aim has been to sew at least one item every month and showcase it here, but the work has been so demanding lately that I am progressing the few garments I am working on simultaneously at the pace of a snail.

This slow going makes me feel disappointed and turns on a vicious cycle of lack of time and disappointment and in the end it is really hard to get back on track even if I finally find a little spare time.

However, as if to give me a wake up call, upon my return from Helsinki, where I was once again for school, I found a pleasant surprise in my mailbox – my third complimentary issue of BurdaStyle magazine, because I am in there! Yay!

The issue is the German edition of March 2016.

The project they have chosen is the pair of pants I made back in 2012, while still living in Athens… as a matter of fact the photo was taken on the roof of my home! Weird, how time goes by, it seems hard to believe that it was just 4 years ago.

Anyway, this sweet present and a lovely comment on an old post have given me some energy and I have been patiently working on a few things in the evenings. Hopefully I will be able to show them before the end of March!

Until then, happy sewing everyone!
