I’m looking forward to share fun ways in which I incorporate new pieces into my closet.

Aline Willemin, producer of the 1560s-set independent film Albert and Claude, knew the production would have to be smart with money. But she also knew it needed absolutely authentic clothes. She found them thanks to fabrics-store.com, a Los Angeles-based company as passionate about fabric as Willemin is about film. Albert and Claude is a psychological…
To be completely honest – most of the time I buy fabric without knowing what to make with it. Highly excited, a bit overwhelmed yet with no plan in sight. This leads to either: – too little fabric -too much fabric Let’s not talk about too little – this always hurts my heart. But too…

Before I embarked upon sewing my own clothes a year ago, I (re-)started knitting. But because I am 100% impatient, I was always looking for patterns with thick wool (the thicker – the better to be honest). Until I found Good Night, Day – my personal holy grail when it comes to modern, easy knitting…
