Happy New Year everyone!
Well I think it's clear from my limited number of posts over the last year that I am most definitely a 'sometime' blogger, rather than someone willing to blog on a regular basis. Mainly because I'm busy conceiving and sewing the projects I post on here (and eating mince pies!), and rather than constant updates on my slow stop-and-start progress I think I'm happier to only post finished projects. That way this blog is more like a log of my achievements... much more exciting than hearing about the behind-the-scenes, like the week I spent comparing the merits of slipstitching by hand vs the 'stitch in the ditch' technique when it comes to attaching a lining. Or reading about the weekend I spent drafting and redrafting the fit of a jacket sleeve... yawn!
*The yawn is for your benefit, I could write about the sewing geek stuff all day but would probably be a bit boring for you to read!
Although I've begun quite a few projects lately, very few of them are finished yet, which is why things have been a bit quiet on the blog, I'm mainly
been concentrating on ideas for new projects and working on designing a few
of my own patterns. But as a post is way overdue I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to the last few months.
Not only did I get my first custom order, but I've also now decided to start selling The Ava dress online!
