Birdie pillow DIY.

May 23, 2012


Heyyy, happy Wednesday! :) Here is the second present I made for my lovely friend Malin, a little birdie pillow. :) I LOVE the fabric so much, I could just wrap myself in it. :D

Wanna sew such a pillow yourself? :)
To make the pillow, I first made a sketch, then I created a pattern for the bird’s shape and for the wings. I used the pattern to cut out the fabric and then I attached the wings to the body via zig zag stitch. Next, I sewed the button eyes onto the fabric with my hands. Then I put the two layers of fabric onto each other, right sides facing, and I sewed the layers together, leaving out an opening at the bottom. Next, I used the zig zag stitch to hem the edges and cut tiny triangles out of the seam allowances at the curves so that it looks pretty when one then turns the fabric inside out (this makes the round edges look neat). Do so and then fill the pillow with cotton flocks and close the opening with a bling stitch. :)
Yay, so cute and so easy! :) Feel free to ask me if you have some more questions! :)

Having guests on Sunday.

May 21, 2012


Hello! :) I hope you had a great weekend! I was in Freiburg (photos coming soon) and had a fantastic time! :) Last weekend, when my mum was here, we had guests for coffee and Flo made an extremely delicious cake. I love reasons to decorate the kitchen table and use my pretty vintage kitchenware! :) Moreover, I always love how the plates contrast with the tuquoise color of the table. :) What do you think?
Wish you a lovely evening!

Easy skirt pattern.

May 20, 2012


Hello everyone, happy Sunday! :) As you can see, I’m currently super productive, although I’ve got lots of reading to do for university – I always need to create something in order to stay balanced. :)
Yesterday was my friend Malin’s birthday and one of the presents I made her was this skirt. It’s super easy to sew it, I found the instructions on Pinterest, the awesome sewing tutorial can be found on Dana Made It. :)
I love, love, love the fabric I chose, it was hard to give the skirt away, but I thought Malin would really like the fabric and it’s pattern and I will soon make myself an own skirt after this tutorial. :) If you’re a sewing beginner, you should definitely give this a try, it’s super easy and the descriptions in the tutorial are perfect and the photos are super and make it easy to follow. :)
Depending on how tight you sew the elastic band, you can either wear the skirt on your tight or on your hips. :)
Enjoy your day! :)

Happy Birthday, Malin!

May 19, 2012


Today’s a special day, it’s my beloved friend Malin‘s 25th birthday! <3 I wish you all the best that one can wish and that your day is special! :))
Malin and I got to know each other about 6 years ago and immediately became friends. How we got to know each other is similar to all those blogger friendships which develop nowadays, because we (like my friend Anja and I <3) got to know each other through the music forum of our favourite band, the Donots. :) We wrote lots of messages and in the summer of 2006, 6 years ago, we met for a shopping day and since then, we were friends and always saw each other for birthdays, longs weekends or New Year’s Eve. :) Although we have always been having a long distance friendship, Malin’s one of my very best friends. <3
Happy birthday, sweetheart, sooo good to have you as a friend and I hope your day is wonderful! <3
