I was originally inspired into sewing by my mother who used to make all my clothing as a child (I even had the proverbial dress made out of a curtain!). This and my love of everything theatrical led to a natural progression into sewing and clothes 'design' (though I'm not so good at the design part, I do love it! Mainly I mishmash different patterns together to make a new one...).
I have a fairly boring technical day job, so in my spare time I support one of our local amature dramatics groups, doing their hair & make up, costume and set design. I'm about to start work on some 70's cocktail dresses for a play they have coming up, but assuming these don't take too long, here are my next two personal projects, which I hope to finish over the next month; the first is a McCalls pattern from the 40's which I was super chuffed to find:
Followed by this beautiful Butterick pattern, which I'm sure some of you will recognise! I look forward to posting the end results and seeing some more of your stunning work here!
