Hello and thanks for letting me join
I am a self-taught sewer using my mum's 1984 Brother sewing machine which I love. I started out making home furnishings from recycled fabrics for our house renovation in France about 6 years ago. I decided to try garment making a few years back when I basically had a melt down in a high street shop changing room because nothing fit!
I have since learnt that of course patterns don't fit as standard either and have become quite fascinated by garment construction and now dabbling with pattern drafting. I also have a HUGE fabric stash which my husband encourages to grow by taking me to fabulous fabric shops whenever we visit cities and I am determined to turn it into a fabulous wardrobe of creations.
Having stalked this forum for a while, just reading and learning, I thought it's about time I join.
Currently, I am making a simple shift dress from my first pattern draft in a one off piece of fabric from Sri Lanka which I am procrastinating cutting! And just about to start my second knitting project ( first one took 10 months...)
Thanks for having me
