Just Sew It

LOVE the turquoise blue!

I am part Ukrainian and part German. As my mother being Ukrainian, we tended to celebrate more of the Ukrainian traditions and that included Ukrainian dancing. For ten years of my young life, I danced and I loved it. Now, my daughter is carrying on the tradition. So far, she loves it.

Ukrainian dance alone is an exciting thing to watch. If you have not had the opportunity to see a group dance, put it on your list of things to do. Out of all the cultural dances I have witnessed from other countries, none compare to the Ukrainian dance. Fast and colourful are two words that hardly express what this dance brings to the stage. Take a gander at some of the photos to see what I mean:

Below are some non-conventional outfits but yet they’ve kept the Ukrainian in their outfits:

Brad Pitt and I share only one thing in common. Our birthday. Every year I pay tribute to Brad. He’s an amazing actor and not to mention very cute. Have a wonderful day with your family Brad.

I’ve been waiting to write this post as I had to watch all the episodes online since in Canada we do not get the latest Project Runway (USA) until months later. I finally watched the finale. I have to say that this season was my all time favourite. I grew quite attached to the contestants in this season. Mondo, I liked from the start along with Michael Costello too. I felt sorry for Michael when everyone was being so cruel to him for jumping on Ivy’s wagon of hate. Michael, if you were to ever stumble across my post, please please don’t live your life according to what your parents want. Be true to yourself! Live your life for YOU!!

Ivy. I don’t know whether she is just spiteful or she honestly feels Michael and Gretchen are dishonest. Either way, she did herself a great disservice for her hateful words. Mean I think. Mondo, he is so cute and I really like his designs. I applauded him for telling the world of his HIV status. What a difficult thing to do especially on t.v. I’m proud of him. Gretchen, I wasn’t too sure of her but I really do think she means well.

Overall, everyone did their absolutely best under the conditions they were expected to design and produce. I know I could never do that. Talk about stress.

I stumbled onto this blog after googling for vintage sewing machines. He loves to collect old machines and has found some real gems. One includes one made in Italy. I love things made in Italy and Germany. His blog is enjoyable to read and it’s refreshing to read a blog about sewing which is written by a guy. I hope you enjoy it also.
