Little things

September 22, 2015

It's the little things:

An instagram post which leads to meeting some very fabulous sewing ladies;

A comment on a photo that completely changed the way I think about and approach fitting;

Taking time to measure and tape and carefully alter a pattern piece so that the muslin is on the money and enjoying that as much as the actual sewing;

The responses I've had to my last post about the article I wrote:

All these little things, build one up, restore the sewjo and remind that sewing isn't a chore, it is something to savour and relax into and meditatively work through the process.  

And the community is always there - it's got my back and it makes me smile.  I LOVE that.

One day very soon, I will share some of the things I've sewn recently - or am now working on - as there hasn't been a whole world of sewing in these parts of late.  Until then I'll be reconnecting with Janome and Juki and enjoying each cut, pin and stitch.

See you soon x

Hangover due to celebrations last night because after 3 years and 2 months and an inordinate amount of stress WE FINALLY HAVE OUR GREEN CARDS IN OUR HANDS!!!

For some reason I have made only a couple of shirts. But this @trend_patterns TPC20 is one of them and itโ€™s awesome. Fabric is a Bengal cotton shirting from @wearethefabricstore. Some details on the blog today.

No #memades today. But I could have made the top from the #paolaturtlenecktee and the coat always reminds me of the one made by @gingertakesphotos agggges ago from the @republiqueduchiffon #gerardcoat I believe. Not sure of a pattern that would replicate the skirt as it has a lovely high fitted waist.
