Peter Pan

I finished this blouse on Christmas Eve, all ready to wear on Christmas Day. I had actually cut out the fabric around 6 months ago, but this week I finally got around to actually sewing the top. I have always admired the classic style of a crisp Peter Pan collar, so it was time I… Read More Peter Pan

Great Gatsby

This month, I was invited to a 1920s style, Great Gatsby themed birthday party, I then lept at the opportunity to begin sewing my own dress based on the era.

Holidays

As I’m currently on holidays, my days have been filled with knitting, sewing and watching too much television. Sewing is something I love to do and will never get tired of. I find great satisfaction in making my own clothes, and I get a sense of self sufficiency. If all the clothing stores in the world disappeared, I… Read More Holidays
