When will I learn?

When will I learn not to take on 3 million new projects at any one time?! I couldn't resist this set of fabrics...






The new list of objectives....

Okay, so versatile, easy-to-wear patterns and garments are getting great feedback, but I'm feeling the urge to hark back to my vintage roots. I used to collect costume and have an MA in the history of textiles and dress, so this is where my true passion lies. Although I love wearing modern, well-cut clothes in quality fabrics, I am always taken with vintage/ retro-inspired garments. Having just signed up to Sew Retro, I feel inspired to move in this direction.

So... new set of objectives: design and make a range of vintage-inspired patterns and garments.

Let me know what you think and if you have any recommendations/ sites to view etc. I'm grateful for all the help I can get!

Another idol... clean, simple lines is the fashion of the future.

Jenny Gordy/ Wikstenmade


This girl is fast becoming my idol... Her work is exquisite; the accuracy and quality of her garments stunning. When my patterns are up and running, 'products' is definitely the way I'm going... in-between teaching and living!
