Sewing updates....

Sadly, apart from the mad sewing I've been doing at Tafe, I haven't done any sewing for myself since I made Zatanna's vest for Melbgeddon... 5 or 6 weeks ago now! *sad face

Your plans for wardrobe sound wonderful! It's especially great if you can work some of your studies into real clothes for yourself.

I'm curious - do you find the students in your program dress stylishly/quirkily/well or no differently than other students? I'm just wondering if there's some pressure from being "fashion" students to stand out?

Thank you!! Coming from such a classy Vintage lady as yourself, that means a lot! I've been planning a completely vintage wardrobe for the last few years now, so it will be nice being just a few steps closer

Whenever I look in my closest, you inspire me to do something about the lack of clothing and turn my stash into something. Just wish I could find the courage to start... you make such wonderful clothes :)

Hehehe easier said than done! Well... that's just my procrastination!

I think I just get so excited about all these interesting ideas and pretty skirts and dresses and I just want to make them all! But then I realise how long it will take to draft up all the different patterns and fit them and it totally puts me off. So I really should just stick with simple, easy designs that are quick to make and look good, and save the complicated stuff for when I have more time! Oh the dilemmas!

That's a dilemma I know only too well. And why I use a pattern a few times once I know it fits.
