sewing for me

a long time back i used to make myself clothes all the time

but somewhere along the line 

i talked myself out of it ...

the overlocker i used to own was a bit fickle ... &

started saying it was easier & cheaper to just buy them!

i guess that is true with some things but depends what you're looking for?

i'm a big fan of re-using & so have plenty of great second hand finds

however

sometimes i'd prefer it new or just 'right'

or something quirky

or a certain colour or look perhaps??

now having my new 'toy'

i've been having a great time lately sewing for me again! yay

the hardest part is remembering to grab someone to take a pic while 

i'm wearing what i've made so that i can show you!

 here's another 'nikki a-line skirt' to show you

lighter weight fabric with the oranges & greens i love

it 'works' with my ankle boots & layers

& its wasn't at all expensive to make

as it was a rathdowne remnants actual remnant

& the best bit .... the satisfying feeling of it being

handmade by me

oh & i've been re-considering lots of my long-time

stashed fabrics .... some i have plans for once again

& some .... i've moved past

so i've been de-stashing yep!!

as in selling it to someone who see it differently to me!

win win

joining in

make it wear it

with the train to crazy
