Tine Sews on Instagram

Hi everybody,
lately I've been using Instagram much more than this blog to document my sewing projects. I still like to keep this blog as I'm sure that there will come a time when I'll be better with taking pictures . I've discovered a good spot in my backyard for taking them, the only thing I need is a good camera. The one I've been using so far is a point-and-shoot which I got in 2005. It still takes pretty decent photos outside, but only when the light conditions are good.
So, I'm in need for a new camera. As soon as I get my tax refund for 2013 I'll go out and get myself something good. The only problem is that I really don't know what to search for, when I'm looking for a good camera. How many megapixels are best? Should I get a DSLR? Do I need a big screen? Should I get one to charge or one with batteries?

So many questions. Maybe you could help me out. Which camera are you using? Do you have to edit the pictures much?

I'd be grateful for any tips!

Me Made Mittwoch: The Sweatshirt

I guess I should really invest in a better camera instead of using my old point-and-shoot, but I'm pretty happy about the tripod and the fact that I even have a camera that works. I'm pretty bad when it comes to electronics, so if anbody has an idea on which camera to get, I would greatly appreaciate any help.

But I'm back with pictures and on the day of Me-made-Mittwoch, so this is pretty cool. I haven't had the time to do my daily bloground at work today, so tonight I'll browse the Me-made Mittwoch gallery and see what the other ladies made. Thank you so much for collecting the lovely me-mades!

On to the outift: I'm wearing a me-made sweatshirt made of a polyester-cotton-blend sweatshirt fabric that I got at a bazaar in Bursa/Turkey. It's hard to see on the picture, but it's lightly marbled and not just plain white. I combined it with some cuff knit, that I got at work and the whole sweater was made in one evening. I used the serger on all seams. The pattern that I used was Kanga again, but this time I had to change the pattern again, so I don't think I'll use it again. The sleeves were again much too baggy and so I made a second seam on the sleeve to create a better fit.

Jeans are thrifted from a fleamarket, shirt is thrifted from a second hand shop and the shoes are Deichmann sneakers.
