The postman delivered a parcel for me on Thursday.
It was the inexpensive fabric I had ordered to kickstart my sewing hobby again.
The last outfit I made for myself was back in the late 1980s so my sewing skills are now quite rusty - as are my old pins and needles.
I have been watching a few YouTube tutorials, something we didn't have back then, so I am hoping I don't make too much of a mess. I have two different fabric designs and two dress patterns to try.
If all goes well I may order some better quality fabric and try something different next time.
Might we get step by step photographs of your progress?
ReplyDeleteThat depends on how well - or otherwise - it goes!
DeleteI agree with Mistress Weaver. Step by step please. And I think you should then consider making some dungarees for Peregrine. Lilac or daffodil yellow will surely suit him best.
ReplyDeleteThey may clash with his orange and lime striped shirts.

ReplyDeleteI'd probably look like a big tomato!
DeleteNorthsider is a Chris de Burgh lookalike.
DeleteMasks. Fabric masks.
ReplyDeleteI shall have a go at a mask. I wanted one for my hay fever anyway
DeleteBrilliant ...... you’ll soon have an online shop !!! We spend most of our time in the garden ..... I’ve just ordered more plants. I’ve now got to find places for them ! Enjoy your sewing and keep us up to date on your progress. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI have had to give up spending time outdoors because of my hay fever but, as Tasker suggested, making a mask could help.
DeleteHope your plants arrive soon so that you can work your magic in the garden xx
I immediately thought 'mask' too. Sign of the times.
ReplyDeleteI could make a mask to match each dress!
DeleteGood luck I 'm sure once you start sewing it will all come back to you.. hope we'll see you modeling your makes.
ReplyDeleteToday started well but I have already made one little mistake. I hope it is not very noticeable, not that anyone can see me close up at the moment!
DeleteIn the past I have made myself everything from winter coats down to nightwear but the last time I tried to make something i seem to have lost the plot, maybe its an age thing. lol
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your completed dresses.

Oh gosh Briony. I am just a beginner. A winter coat would be way out of my league!
DeleteHaving seen the finished result didn't you do well!
