sewmad

Born 77, married.

Besides my job, the house- and gardenwork I love to sew and knit and to experiment with new crafts and fancy tools :)

Books and magazines are really a BAD addiction of mine - I collect new ones as well als vintage ones and seek inspiration everywhere. I can only read german, english and a bit swedish, but if a magazine or pattern has clear pictures I'm also dealing with japanese sewing patterns.

Buttons and Beads can make me happy, as well as fabric (YAY!) and yarn. I prefer natural fibers, but blends are alright, too.

COLOR is important to me, and though I mainly wear black, I love small things in bright colors or accessories in bright colors. Pink, green, red and white are my faves!

I'm a sucker for the styles of the first half of 20th century fashion and I couldn´t decide which decade I like best.

I love vintage things, but I'm not a thrifter.

I live on a strict diet, but you may ask me if I'm allowed to eat this or that, if you want to include goodies (and I really love goodies, just have to be careful...).

swing :) but also old-school-house and some metal.

changes with my mood... some all-time faves are: lord of the rings trilogy, harry potter, arsenic and old lace, the doris day & rock hudson movies, anne of green gables (both, anime and real film), the mists of avalon

too many! :) charmed, will and grace, mash, friends, ally mc beal, ...
