A Load of Old Bobbins

[aloadofoldbobbins]

Bought @victorypatterns #bounlessstyle when it came out & made a few things, but what I love about sewing is that I’ve just seen a dress I love in a magazine that costs £££££ & I thought I’m sure there is a bodice like that in #bounlessstyle & there is! #imakemyownclothes #memadeeveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyCyEYHNgK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=suw49sedd8sr

Got the stretch denim I saw in the summer from @borovickfabrics to make more @tillybuttons #miliadungarees wearing my battered black cord version today #imakemyownclothes #memadeeveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_KdZBhmxf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dmxa0vk2gjv8

My recent 3 makes, 2 @deer_and_doe_patterns #myosis dresses. First in a ‘peach skin’ fabric from @abakhanfabrics & second in a Liberty cotton from http://www.shaukat.co.uk/. Third is a #myosotis #sudley mash up. Got a family wedding & holiday coming up, so glad I’ve got some new dresses #memadeeveryday

After feeling ill & fed up for the last couple of weeks & after a good chat with Mike I’ve had a productive afternoon, signed up for the Who made my clothes? course, booked on a pattern cutting course to see if can do a more involved course & got the new @byhandlondon #elouisedress pattern & some fabric & feeling much more positive. (Despite the broken loo) 😄

Another @inthefolds #actondress in fabric from @seasaltcornwall can’t say how much I love this pattern. Think I’ll be wearing it with my @seasaltcornwall mac today. I’ve realised what I did wrong with my last one, apart from sewing whilst ill, so I’ve unpicked a bit & re-sewing at the moment.

[aloadofoldbobbins]

The other version of the @inthefolds #actondress love this pattern so much, both versions, couldn’t choose my favourite #kickstarter

[aloadofoldbobbins]

My #kickstarter @inthefolds #actondress all finished. Can’t wait to wear this dress in London on Mon.

Felling like s**t in a bucket, without the bucket as my friend Lisa Prosser used to say. So it’s @truebias #hudsonpants @f1 & planning a fabric shopping trip to Brum! Living near Manc a city renowned for fabric production I’m always amazed that there are only 2 fabric shops Leon’s & @abakhanfabrics. Birmingham seems to have a ton of fabric shops.

Excuse my messy lady lodge. This @deer_and_doe_patterns #myosotis is a dry run of the dress I’m going to make for my sister in law’s wedding. @deer_and_doe_patterns never disappoint. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

Getting there really slowly with my @colettepatterns @seamworkmag #audreyjacket have run out of topstitch thread again!!!!!! Argh! #imakemyownclothes #memadwardrobe #memadeeveryday

[aloadofoldbobbins]

Very good sewing post day @deer_and_doe_patterns #myosotis arrived from France & @sarahblaho #fenixromper arrived from @netprinter2013

Not the only @goodordering bag on its holidays @centerparcsuk (at Whinfell Forest)

Middle child doing homework on holiday!!! It’s art so she doesn’t really mind.

@tillybuttons #marigoldjumpsuit all finished ready for hols at the end of the month, super comfy & look nice with my @lottafromstockholm high heels as well. Just need to check I can cycle in it. I’m not a Lycra cyclist, except I wear cycling shorts if I’m cycling in a skirt or dress, so I always test cycle my makes. This #marigoldjumpsuit is pretty much the same colour as my @juicybike

[aloadofoldbobbins]

So I have the bodice, waistbands & trousers of my @tillybuttons #marigoldjumpsuit done, tomorrow’s job is to sew them all together. #memadwardrobe #memadeeveryday

[aloadofoldbobbins]

They’ve arrived @inthefolds #kickstarter
