Hi everyone!
I thought it was probably time to start blogging my sewing makes! I only started about a year ago having done an adult education sewing course about 10 years ago! I’m teaching myself using books and You Tube videos and as ever am being inspired by the sewers over on MSE forum.
I don’t have much time for sewing- it is much easier to quickly put together cards when I have some time but I really need a good chunk of time free to have a go at sewing something.
My first make was this tunic
I then made this skirt
Followed by a dress
As you can see I’m a fan of stretch fabrics because
1. I haven’t had to learn how to sew a zip yet!!
2. If my weight fluctuates slightly I can still wear things!
However, it has meant teaching myself stretch stitches and using a double needle!
I’m very lucky and have got an overlocker now as a present. I’m only just getting started with it and am doing some refashioning so that if I make mistakes it is not too costly (I make plenty of mistakes!!).
Thanks for reading!
