Hi, my name is Kati. Welcome to my blog! At the moment, it still feels like moving into a new apartment: everything is not ready yet, some pieces of furniture are not completely assembled, one or two walls still need of a fresh coat of paint, and there are unpacked moving crates everywhere. So, while I will be setting up my virtual living and sewing room here, there will surely be some more changes – but everything in due time.

I am starting this blog as a challenge for me: Will I be able to keep up a regular activity like writing a blog over a longer period of time (knowing that self-discipline is usually not something I excel at…)? In this little virtual space, I want to keep track of my progress while learning to sew, and I am going to write about DIY projects, theme-related books, but also about all other kinds of interesting things that cross my path. The articles will be published in English in German, because I absolutely love both languages, and also to make my articles accessible to both a German and an English speaking audience. Beyond that, being a professional translator and a language enthusiast, I might also sneak in some blog articles on language-related topics now and then, who knows?

Now, there is the obvious question: Does the world really need another blog filled with babbling about sewing and DIY, fabrics and notions, and maybe the occasional discussion on life, the universe, and everything? My answer is a loud and clear: YES! During the last years, I have been reading quite a lot of sewing and DIY blogs and I noticed very quickly, how different all of them are, despite focussing on the same topic. Every blogger has their own style and their very own themes they like to write about in this vast field – ranging from technical instructions and tutorials to profound discussions on fast fashion and sustainability to debates on feminism and the role of women. Some of these blogs will be right up your alley with their writing style and contents, while others simply won’t. You get to choose! So if you happen to like my own personal idea of a sewing blog, please grab a cookie and have a good time reading. I hope we’ll meet again here soon.

See you soon
Kati
