Wiksten Pattern

Jenny Gordy of Wikstenmade is such a prolific maker, designer, blogger, all-round cool person. Her creations are such good quality and really stylish. She also uses stunning fabrics. She has had great success with her clothing line- which always sells out- and is now making a limited run of sewing patterns. I have managed to pre-order one... yay! Do the same here.

Vintage Goodwood

First ever Vintage Goodwood! What a amazing festival! I was so awe-inspired by the fashions, hairstyles, make-up, not to mention the music, art, design.... the list goes on. It was really well organised and thought out and so not like any other festival I've been to. There was mud, but there were wood chippings; there was fast food, but made from good quality ingredients; there was shopping, but wow the vintage wares on offer were incredible!!!

Sewing Class

I ran my first 'sewing class' for my friend Helena (Dulcea). Helena is going off to an amazing fashion design job in the States and wanted to brush up her pattern-drafting and sewing skills. She made a beautiful chambray skirt inspired by my original. This was a dummy run- I hope to run more formal classes in the future. Thanks H!
