I do a lot of sewing, obviously, but I actually rarely make something for myself. So, inspired by 'Me-Made-May', The Great British Sewing Bee, and lovely Tilly, I'm feeling the need to sew more selfish things and to ruddy wear them too. My friend Beci just gave me a bunch of old sewing patterns that came out of her aunts attic. There are some proper 70s/80s corkers in there.
Also, the light is so nice in my studio in the evening I have no excuse not to sit and sew in the sun. Is anyone else feeling inspired by this lovely springtime weather?

ReplyDeleteI'm so flattered you say you're inspired by me, because I'm inspired by you!
ReplyDeleteLove those shears, BTW.
Mutual inspiration :) Yes they are amazing! I bought them at the V&A years ago and they are now getting all blunt, boo.
DeleteI was totally inspired to sew for myself, in fact, I'll be the guest post tomorrow for a series hosted by the Shaffer Sisters called "Make for Mom" ... it's about sewing something selfish. You should stop by and check it out!
