Here we have some photos of the clothes I've been making lately! I've been obsessed lately with lots of sewing and vintage blogs, and just can't help myself, there are so many ideas swimming round my head. Anyway, follow me to see what I've been up to... )
Yesterday we went to the market, (where I found some more lovely fabrics!) and ran several errands, so we were exhausted when we got home, and that, on top of Wednesday's set striking, left me good for nothing but a nap!

I've now finally decided that it's time to rearange my sewing space. When we moved in, the little room off the kitchen was my sewing room, and we put in a sofa to make it comfy. Over the three years we've been here the three of us have spent nearly all our time sat on the sofa in my 'sewing room', only using the sitting room for company. So I used to do a lot of my sewing in the dining room, and really struggled to get in clear when we had guests and needed to actually use it as a dining room! Last Autumn we had a conservatory built, that is now our dining room, so I have unoficially moved into the old dining room. It still has the piano in it, and half of my sewng things (including my bookcase, the linen press with most of my fabric, and the table I used to have for my sewing machine) are still in the old sewing room, but all this is going to change! I'm about to start the arduous task of sorting all my sewing stuff from the two rooms so that we can move the furniture around and finally get me all in one place! Ikea shelf units need to bought as well, but for the moment, I'm sorting piles and bags of accumulated crap into boxes ready to go on the shelves! Needless to say, dressmaking is taking a back seat for a few days!
