This is the year I resolve to learn to sew. Properly. I'm always searching for that ideal a-line skirt that only exists in my head - perhaps this year I could buy some fabulous jersey and make it myself. Or whip up a little something with vintage fabric. I have a sewing machine, I have my fabulous vintage Vogue Sewing book - I just need some fabric, a pattern and a wee bit of time.
Should, shouldn't I?
oh yes please do - we'd love to see the end result:) when we move back to bris vegas I am going to make friends with my mum's machine - wish me luck - I am all thumbs :) best le
ReplyDeleteI need to know how to work my sewing machine! Okay, let's make some kind of deal - we both need to be able to make ourself wearable garments before 2013. Deal?
ReplyDeleteGood luck Le x
ReplyDeleteAnd MTP, you're on!
My goal for 2012 is to make rather than buy as many gifts as possible & make clothes for my kidlets (& moi)
ReplyDeleteMy sewing machine & I are friends, my knitting needles & I are friends, I just don't get to spend as much time with them as I would like.
So many interesting things in the world, not enough hours in the day, lucky we gals can multi-task, now, back to my super garlicky beef & basil meatballs.
You can do it. Don't forget to show us the finished products (I don't think you would stop at one item!).
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should (and I should definitely join you). What a lovely thing that would be... whipping up your own things.
ReplyDeleteOh sigh.
Happy New Year Lovely Thing! xx
Should!
ReplyDeleteI say I'm gonna do it this year too. It really is a time thing, isn't it. x
Well done you! I'd also LOVE to learn to sew, but I don't think it will be this year. I'm going to enjoy watching you learn though :o) xo
