First, except when I left for sunny Lisbon, I had to layer a lot: I sew too much for the brief French summer, but not enough for mid-season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Second clue: second only to my coat, the garment I used the most (tough slightly unfinished) is my plaid shirt, which pairs correctly with jeans and cardis. It seems I sew a more feminine wardrobe than my usual one _ or maybe I&#8217;m still stuck wih my <a title=\"The Donkeyskin complex\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carlottastermaria.fr\/blog\/le-complexe-de-peau-dane-the-donkeyskin-complex\/\" target=\"_blank\">Donkeyskin complex<\/a>\u00a0(not a skin disease, I swear).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Third clue: I moved away a lot these past years, and I had to sort and ditch everything that didn&#8217;t feel \u00a0right, handmade included. Only my last project remain, and particularly, the remains of my last summerly obsession for dirndl skirts. As a consequence, I wear much of the same and I&#8217;m already bored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Will I be able to reverse the trend on the second half of may?
