Thank you all for your comments on the post about children's couture. I found it interesting to read your opinions and I would like this blog we serve to discuss and learn about sewing and fashion for children.
Today I have an announcement to make.
As some you know, I like to sew for my children and for myself. I found that sewing for children is not the same as for adults. Usually does not require the same precision, or pattern matching or finish of the garments. I also noticed that when I sew for my use mostly Burda patterns, but rarely for my children. For this reason, and because I know there are only coséis blogger friends for your kids, I decided to create another blog dedicated to my sewing, and where you can follow me on my personal challenge for me all my clothes Burda patterns. It's called

Thank you all for your comments on the topic about designer clothing for kids. It´s interesting to read what you think, and I´d love to open this blog to discussions about home-made-fashion, sewing, couture, etc.
Today I´d like to share with you some finds and news.
One is a reminder hat there are three great giveaways still ongoing by three of my sewing fellow bloggers:
A pattern magazine lot by Irene Bullock at http://irenebullock.blogspot.com/2011/02/concursazo-knipmode-knipmode-giveaway.html
A great book on couture by Marina at
A crafting book and one of her handmade wonderful purses by Kate at http://harmonyandrosie.blogspot.com/2011/02/not-quite-spring-giveaway.html
And another (un)important announcement:
As you may know I like sewing for my kids and for myself. Sewing tiny dresses is not quite the same as adult clothes, especially when it comes to fitting issues. Finishing techniques are not the same either, at least for me, as I´m far more relaxed when I sew clothes that will be used for a few months only. You may also know that I love Burda patterns for me, but for children I prefer other brands. These two reasons plus the fact that there are readers that don´t sew for them, gave me the idea to create a new blog where I can post about MY Burda sewing only.
So, if you´d like to read about my challenge to Entire sew my wardrobe using Burda patterns, join me at:
See you there!
