  Hi, there! I know you used to have a different username on here and I was wondering how you went about changing it. I’m looking to change mine. :)

    Hi! Oh, that was quiet easy. David can change it manually! Just send him an e-mail at Answers@BurdaStyle.com using the address you are registered with, and let him know what username you would like.

  Thanks so much for your kind compliment – it means a lot since I LOVE so many of your projects! I’m so glad I saw your work through this. The thread-patterned tote is amazing, and I adore those high-waisted shorts! (Also adore that they’re inspired by a Jeunet film. I love several of his films!)

  Hello Catchannette, thanks for your lovely comment! I had seen similar sleeves in the past and had been trying to replicate. I worked with pleats of the same kind (a cowl neck section) for the Burdastyle book project and experimented with sleeves for this project. I so much love my Stockman. It is an ebay lucky bid. I heard they are worth £400+ when purchased brand new. Take care!X

    Hi!
    Thanks for writing on my wall! I know! I am trying to save money so I can get one by myself! It is kind of expensive, but I think it will be a lifetime investment! :)
    I am really looking forward for the Burdastyle book and your project!
    Take care of you and your Stockman! ;)

  デュッセルドルフに住んでいるんだね！有名な都市だね。日本人が多いなんて知らなかった！

  学生のときにドイツ語の授業を受けたことがあるよ。 全然覚えていないけど、もう一度勉強したいと思っているの。 ドイツ語って難しいね・・・

    Thank you for adding me as a friend, too! ^.
    It is much easier this way to be updated, if the other uploads new projects!
    Thanks also for your very nice comment! May I ask where in Tokyo you live?　
    実は、2007年日本に留学した。その時、私は埼玉県の草加市に住んでった。日本が大好き。ある日絶対また行きたい! ^.

    Oh, I’m sorry I don’t live in Tokyo… Actually I’m living in Tochigi, north of Saitama. I discribed ’ around Tokyo’ because I thought most of people don’t know where Tochigi is… :-( And I had lived in Saitama(Kuki-city) before.
    草加に住んでいたんだね！何を勉強していたの？
    私は、新婚旅行でドイツに行ったよ！

    ああ！栃木！栃木のイチゴはとても有名でしょう！
    私は大好き!　残念ながら、行ったことはないんだけど・・・
    本当にドイツに来たの？ドイツのどこに新婚旅行したの？
    どうだった？

    Ich ging zu Romantische Strasse und Schloss Neuschwanstein　etc.
    すっごくきれいで素敵な国だった！！また行きたいな～。

    I’m glad you know Tochigi! Yes, strawberry town :)
    草加はおせんべいの町だね！

    えっ・・・ドイツ語もしゃべられるの？＾＾
    そう・・・ドイツの南に行ったんだ！実は、私行ったことはないんだ!　ヒヒ
    ドイツの西に住んでる。デュッセルドルフ知ってる？日本人が大勢住んでいて働いてる都市だ。そのそばに住んでます。

  すごいね、インターンもしたんだ～！日本語でいつでもコメントしてね！私もアメリカに1年住んでたけど、日本に帰って来てからはほとんど英語を話さないから、忘れてきたよ。だからなるべくインターネットは英語のページを見るようにしてるの。

  また日本に遊びに来る機会があるといいね！そしたら日暮里ショッピングしよう！

  Das Tanzstundenkleid habe ich nicht selbst genäht, aber ich liebte es! Außer dem Schnitt hatte es wohl wenig mit Deinem Kleid zu tun, aber der war das, was mir daran am besten gefallen hat. Das Kleid war aus azurblauem Georgette und hatte irgendeine unaufdringliche Miniperlenstickerei – und es war seeehr kurz. Mit 17 konnte ich das noch tragen. Liebe Grüße Ilse Strickmeise

  What patterns did you buy? What fabric do you envision them in?

    I have got the Ceylon pattern already, but no fabric, yet. And I really want to do something more easy as a next project, that is why I am a little scared to start Ceylon. :)

    So I ordered 3 other Colette patterns. Rooibos, Sencha and Beignet. I am really looking forward to start with Rooibos. I bought a moss green cotton fabric and would like to add some natural cotton piping.
    Then, I am thinking about making an outfit with Sencha and Beignet. Hopefully, I will find some matching fabrics. But I am not sure about the colors, yet. Have you ever tried the colette patterns?

  Oooh! Which ones did you order?! I have another plan for the Beignet skirt, fabric drying for the Macaron but no fabric yet for the Ceylon.

    I have almost the same problem! ;) I have got the Ceylon pattern already, but no fabric, yet. And I really want to do something more easy as a next project, that is why I am a little scared to start Ceylon (although the instructions are fabulous).

    I am really curious about your next Colette projects! And I really admire your Me-Made-March mission! :)

    Sounds so exciting! I´m really into the Sencha too, plus I saw an amazing turquoise version of the Lady Grey coat as well that is making me look again at that! My friend bought me some incredible buttons each of which has the symbol of a club (as in clubs on a pack of palying cards) on it, and there is enough for a Beignet skirt so I thought I´d make a colder weather version in a black wool blend. Thanks for your comment about my Me-Made-March challenge, can´t wait for the weather wo warm up to give me more outfit options. Cannot WAIT to see what you make of the Colette Patterns, I love it every time you upload something new! Happy sewing

  You have created some very cute things! The shorts & bloomers appear to be right off the boutique rack! Not at all “easy do” projects. I like your banner, too!

  Hi! I recently found this site, and have absolutly fallen in love with everything you sew! I was wondering if you could sent me some instructions on how to make the "Go Parisienne ♥ " skirt. I’m a beginner, and am too afraid to just start hacking away at my fabric… If you could give me a little guidence, it would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks so much! You are fantastic!

    Thank you for your nice comment on my wall!
    I am glad you like my skirt! Unfortunately, I am little busy at the moment, but I would really love to come back to your request! Just give me a week or two. I will contact you and try to explain how you could try this project!
