I love sewing, I have dabbled over the years but in our new house I have my own sewing nook & I love spending time in there.
Sewing
is always a big help when it comes to how often I change my styles. Not only is it
fun making your own clothes, you can make exactly what you want to your
own measurements & alter items you already have. I also feel a real sense of pride when someone asks where I got something & I can say I made it.
Much
like other sewers I decide & make projects in two ways the first is
I see something in a shop or online & I draft a pattern from memory
or I use sewing patterns. Both are really good, the pattern because you
just follow it step by step which is quick & drafting your own patterns which really
stretches my skills.
I was chatting to the lovely people at SimplicityNewlook
about my changing style & that I was looking for some patterns to
help me create individual pieces, so they kindly sent me some to try.
Now
I always feel that the pattern envelopes don't do patterns justice, as
they can look a bit dated so keep an open mind about the ones I have
chosen (Sorry the pictures are a bit small):
I have already made two of the simplicity 1662 skirts. I have yet to blog about them but they will be coming up soon.
What do you have on your sewing table?
Ciao for now
Love Mrs Berto xx
It's lovely having a designated sewing space and not having to totally clear up each day, you'll be even more productive now!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am so much more productive! I have made more items in the last three months than I have in the last couple of years. :)
