Are you ready for Halloween?

Hi guys!

I’ve been back from my Worldtrip for about a month now. I’ve been chilling a lot lately. But for Halloween, I got back behind my sewing table. I made a dress with the Monster Selection Fabric set. As a pattern, I used the Maggy dress. For a tutorial on how I made this dress, check out the video on my YouTube-channel:

So, what are you wearing for the festivities tonight?

Love,

Home, sweet home!

Hi fellow travellers!

 Today I take my last plane… I’m going home after travelling the world for more than 1,5 year. I soaked in so many impressions and got inspiration from the most diverse countries and places. I’m going to let everything I’ve seen sink in for a while, and maybe this will result in a new collection… who knows? ;)

For now, I’m going to get prepared for fall and winter. I’ll be happy to spend the holidays with my family here, cause I’ve missed them a lot!

 What was your favorite country on my trip?

 Let me know!

 Love,

Ich bin ein Berliner

Hi guys!

 I’m back in Europe. This is the last stop before heading home. On Sunday I will be running the marathon of Berlin. After months of training I think I’ll be ready to crush those miles! The official marathon distance is 42,195 kilometers (26 miles 385 yards). The Berlin Marathon was established in 1974. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Berlin Marathon grew into one of the largest running competitions in the world. A lot of world records are set there over the years. Eliud Kipchoge ran it in 2:01:39 last year! The course has been part of the World Marathon Majors since 2006, along with those of London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Tokyo, the World Cup marathon and the Olympic Marathon.

 I hope I will be able to complete this whole distance. Wish me luck!

 Do you like running or other sports?

 See you!

Relaxing at Cabo Verde

Hi guys!

As my trip is running to an end, I’m trying to make my last weeks of travel as relaxed as possible. This week I’m visiting Cabo Verde, a series of beautiful islands. Temperatures are always great so this is perfect to go to the beach. I brought my Tiny Minnie Couture outfit cause it has a handy beach bag and towel. My whole outfit is perfectly put together, don’t you think?

I’m happy to be soon heading home, so I can start preparing for Halloween, and after that the holidays!

Are you excited for the end of the year?

Love,

Dollie

Pupating in Madagascar

Hello there,

 My trip is almost coming to an end. To finish up I’m making my way through Africa. I landed in Madagascar, for a sunny getaway. I’ll visit the Avenue of the Baobabs later on. The Baobab is a typical tree you can find in Madagascar.

 Did you know Madagascar is known for their terrific silk-production? The cocoons of the caterpillar of the silk butterfly are used for silk fabric. Making silk is a very delicate process. As soon the caterpillar has made his cocoon, it’s carefully cut out of them and placed into a protected environment to grow up. After the cocoon is harvested, it’s washed, dried, ironed and sewed into a larger piece of fabric. Amazing how every fabric has its own story!

 What’s your favourite fabric to work with?

 Love,

 Dollie
