    Oh dear, thank you! We are fine, and we evacuated to the States about 5 days ago. It was too much for us to stay there to face to stress and anxious everyday.. As we have a family here, we are staying with them. So I got my peace of mind back;)

  I remembered that you live near Tokyo, and I pray that you, your husband, and your family and friends are safe after this terrible earthquake. Please let us know that you are ok and if there’s anything the community can do to help!

  Hi Ophelia, Im glad your activity reports the same… ie you keep favouriting your own projects… I was beginning to think I was the most egotistical member on board! I think we can safely assume that its a technical hitch! ;-)

  Hello Ophelia, as a novice and messy sewist I am conquered by your piano dress. Like many other Burdastylers I like it expecially in the cap-sleeves version…. and I would like recreating something similar. Yet I cannot figure out from your (however beautiful!) pics how they are constructed. Would you be so kind to explain it? Thank you a lot!!

    Dear Bussey,
    I am sorry for my late late response.
    I attached the stripe fabric from side neckline (both side) and to make a cap sleeves, you need the fabric go under the dress shoulder and wrap your arm and take the fabric from under your arm and pull it to your back. Then pin it if you like. Oh I think my English is too bad to explain it. Can you get what I mean by this?? Thanks!

  Hello Ophelia, Yes, I was in Vienna for vacation. And it really felt so good to do nothing but being lazy and strolling around this wonderful town. Meanwhile I visited the other your other websites. It is amazing! I love your enormous creativity! Your piano dress f.ex. is really fancy! I am currently working on a blouse with a smoked waist line which I had to break for the moment as I am not at my place. But I miss my sewing machine.;-) Hope, you are fine and wish you a nice rest of the week. Ellie

  Hi Ophelia, just a short message from the other side. I have not been here for a while. First I had some problems to log in, then I spent some days in Vienna. Now I am back and was of course nosy of what was new in your studio. It is like a huge wardrobe containing so many surprises. Hope, you enjoyed the movie.:-) Greetings, Ellie Sew

    Hello Ellie!
    Thank you for your message! So you had been away for vacation! That’s great! Hope you refreshed!
    I had a same problem here to log in. So after that problem, I haven’t really used this website. I just feel lazy to update on my blog and burda, flickr, and deviantart all in once. So, at least I am active on my blog.
    It’s so great to talk to you anyway! Hope to see your new work soon;)

  Finally it’s done. After having been quite busy the last few days, I finished my “tribute to Ophelia-shirt” yesterday: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/basic-shirt-with-the-w-hole-works Maybe you like it.;-)

  Dear Ophelia! I am so happy that you like my bouquet! I’ve seen bridal fabric bouquets and they are really BREATHTAKING! And that is one great idea! Having a fabric bouquet! Pity I didn’t have one when I got married! That would have been something!! :)-

  A bodice… hmmm I have some lovely material and a pattern I printed off from burda (ha ha ha ha- the print came out too big, the 10cm square is about 11 cm) so I might just try a bodice/shirt dress… with the lovely circle detail at the neck…. then again maybe a less fussy pattern might be better. Hmmm.

  Do you draught your own dresses or base them on patterns and work from there? Also did you have training in any way? I always find it interesting to see how talented people have learnt!

  Thanks for answering me, just by the way! =)

    It’s good to use a pattern fit well with your body.

    I have my basic bodice pattern and always use it to modify. When I started sewing, I bought some basic sewing books, and since then I have been trying whatever I am interested in. I normally don’t enjoy looking for a project has all descriptions and just follow them. I love to design something and make it as close as possible.

    Anytime;)
    Thanks!
