Crazy Projects

Frau A in DIY (do it yourself), Just for Fun, Oktoberfest, dirndl, sewing, trachten

I have a new project. It's one part excitement over Oktoberfest and one part looking for a creative outlet.

I'm going to make a dirndl. Or at least to try.

After much debate, I settled on a purple dress with dots, and a bright striped fabric for apron and trim. The brighter purple is just for a fun lining, so it shouldn't show. Luckily, the stores here have a big table or two full of trachten fabrics!

We'll see how it goes...I'll definitely take pictures along the way.
