Sometimes I feel as if the weight of all my tasks and worries is pushing me to the ground. But today I carry it with ease on two hands. Including my own weight. Yes, I already know, my belly is squeezed together. That’s what you get when you want to take pictures with a crop top 😉 But the blog post is actually all about the new pants. It was time again for a pair of Sporty Leggings.

Over the last weeks & months more and more of my jeans started ripping apart somewhere or the zipper broke, so I’ve been mainly in leggings for some time now. No matter whether i went for a run or shopping. They are simply super comfortable. And also sewn so fast… I always sew an elastic band directly on it, as a waistcuff. This time I have found one with Animal Print in my stock and find it really great <3

So when we went out to take pictures yesterday afternoon, it just began to drizzle and an icy wind picked up. The plan was to do some gym at the bar. But I couldn’t, because my hands trembled with cold and I probably wouldn’t have made a single move. So you have to settle for very few photos. But at least I still have a little outtake of the attempt. For you to have something to laughing about today 😉

All according to the motto ‘intentional but not skilful’, I’m rather clumsy here for the pictures. That also happens sometimes. More often than not to be honest 😉 In addition there is my perfectionism, one photo shows the outlines of my undie, in the next one, my neck is all twisted unnaturally and the last one is squeezing the fat out of every corner. Those pictures just never make it to the blog. But because here only my bottom is pressed off by the bar, I’ll leave you this for the #PatternoftheWeek and hope you’re happy to get the Sporty Leggings this week at half price <3

Love, Carina

How nice that it’s warm enough again for such photos. For ages I wanted to sew another skirt after the Pencil Skirt pattern. Yesterday it was finally sew and right away it jumped in front of the camera.

The red faux leather here has been in my fabric stash for at least 3 years and just waited for its use. I find it perfect for the skirt, sexy but very comfortable. The inside feels totally soft. Thanks to the fact that the side parts of the skirt are cut in the diagonal grainline, the skirt gets some elasticity and therefore also fits with every movement.

So a round of dancing was completely in it and if I should go to a party again, then the outfit is definitely at the top of my list here. I’ve sewn the crop top for it last summer and ended up to never put it on because it suddenly became autumn. Now all the better that it can finally be used 😀

For me this is a typical ‘festival outfit’, well okay, maybe I wouldn’t be walking around with these shoes on… But the styling had to be made to fit. So I did my favourite hairstyle again, I like the two slightly messy buns totally <3

My summer body isn’t quite in shape yet, even though I’m always told that a bikini body is formed in winter. So today the summer outfit had to be photographed in the ‘winter’ too. Because despite the warm temperatures it is actually still February. How’s it about you, do you already sew for spring/summer or are you still trapped in the snow and like it rather cuddly warm? Mama has already slightly twisted her eyes (yes I’ve seen it!) from my many naked skin in winter. But honestly, it wasn’t really cold!
The Pencil Skirt is now available over the weekend for half the price as #Patternoftheweek – so you can get it until Monday evening for just over 1$ 😉

Love, Carina
