We just love the planning stages of sewing - oohing and ahhing over fabrics and haberdashery and plotting the final details of our makes. It’s all part of the fun of dressmaking, and the beauty of making your own clothes is that you can choose JUST the finishing touches that you want.
I’ve not been doing much garment sewing for myself recently - the reason being that my figure was expanding at a rapid rate. Having given birth 6 weeks ago I’m itching to get my waistline back and start making again!
Really? Is it that time of year AGAIN? It seems like no time ago at all that we were prepping for last Christmas. Not that I’m complaining - I absolutely adore the festive season. And as we’re feeling pretty smug, with most of the xmas shopping complete, it’s time to think about what’s going on our xmas wishlists. You know, just in case anybody feels the need to buy us armfuls of presents…
With Christmas only 5 days away (5!), we thought it high-time for a roundup of what’s on our wish lists this year. Of course it really is FAR too late to be ordering any of these goodies in time for the big day but anybody who really needed to know what to buy us has obviously already got piles of fabulous gifts wrapped and ready. Ahem.
Every single morning I utter the words I’m sure every other girl says on a regular basis. Bar maybe Chloe Sevigny. Or that Ecclestone girl.
“I literally have NOTHING to wear!”
