                            and a few more pieces from the recent Burda Style magazine.

But I don't know when it will happen. Work and family keep me busy and then I try to squeeze in a couple of work outs too. Somehow I am always running short on time since I had my baby. Is that the same for you too?

Dyeing Experiments




On our last trip to Sydney I had seen these gorgeous tea towels coming in all those vibrant colours. They were made out of the same material as baby muslin cloth. But they came with an interesting price tag which finally led to this little dyeing project. I have just turned my plain white muslin cloths (which my daughter doesn't use anymore) into vibrant tea towels by help of our washing machine and some fabric dyeing powder that a lovely friend sent from Germany (as I couldn't find anything like that in Hong Kong). In Germany you can buy it in every big supermarket. Maybe the Germans are more into DIY?
Oh and do you remember the little owl cushion I made last year? It's now orange and I have added a bit of embroidery. Totally different, isn't it? In the mood for your own little dyeing project now?

Sew Mama sew!


A collage of what I have recently sewn for my little girl. I still have more plans and on Flickr I find so much inspiration for even more cute clothes... Interested? Have a look here:
