HEllo and Welcome to my sewing room…..I hope you will pop by often…..it’s a busy place. ALL MY DESIGNS HAVE LITERARY, TRAVEL OR HISTORICAL THEMES PLUS LOTS OF CHIT CHAT ABOUT SEWING STUFF AND MY DRESSMAKING ENDEAVOURS.
JOURNAL 2024
May : Still hanging around waiting for our house move to progress and I have to confess I am sluggish in the sewing room. My latest obsession is needlepoint and vintage needlepoint bags. I am starting a collection. These are so very beautiful and often lost in time in a box or cupboard somewhere. Handcrafted items are so precious. I am planning on using and bringing a whole new life to these. Some linen dressmaking to accompany them is definitely in order just as soon as we move house. Meanwhile, a pretty picture can brighten the day anytime.
See you soon,

A FEATHER MAXI SKIRT?! how cool would that be…. or so I have been saying for at least 10 years, since I first saw this class by Anna Maria Horner on Creative Bug. It has taken me so long to get around to crossing this off my ‘to make’ list and yet again, I am left wondering why on earth it is so, when I always knew it was a lovely project.
