Welcome Back!

I've been quiet for a long time - I've explained and checked back often though. Work and sewing has kept me busy, but with everything going on I have wanted to come back and keep this blog up. I really enjoy blogging and how it motivates me. I'm looking at video design, I get to design, organise and work on projects to sew and research. I get to help share some information and ideas.

So, I want to say welcome back everyone, my schedules changed a bit 4/5 blogs a week is too much at the moment still.

Also, hello to new readers too. 

I'm happy to say I have made some big plans and some smaller ones too, I've also completed a few projects, while I've been gone. - Which I'll share the details later, but there's not a later I haven't mentioned before so there won't be many surprises. Other than bits I've brought  - yep! New Equipment! New Fabric! New Sewing Machine! 

I usually buy fabric but with new projects I needed to use the right tools to complete the finishes I wanted so research led to buying some things you guys might want to see. And I love buying new tools to try them out, as much as researching new techniques for me to try.

Getting things new or second hand is always good. And oddly exciting - but different to buying more fabrics. This also means I just have some pieces to just try out  & practice with. Doing all I can while I have a pay check coming in. This means a lot of traveling for me every week., but it's worth it. I get to sew in my own space, work and be home. I've also had the chance to got to markets and shops in my work area- and there's a lot more than in my local area. 
There's a plenty of fabrics unless I am after something specific but that's usual for most people. And I like to be picky if I have something in mind. The stalls are great for fabrics, and odd pieces, and there's two shops with equipment. - Though there's only one for sewing machine feet, a little sewing machine shop & repair. I'm afraid one of these days I'll leave with an over-locker or more sewing machines. I do want one!

Anyway - back to posts - I'll be doing a few polls if anyone's interested in changing things here. Thy'll be among my blog posts as I get back into a rhythm. My first few post will focus on a lot the new equipment I have, my trip to Bowes museum & an alteration pieces & new patterns!

Thanks for reading - I hope you all enjoy the things to come.

G.O & C.W : Back!

I know I've been really quiet, but when I started my job I had to take some time - but oddly I've done so much sewing and drawing, but I've had to leave my blog behind for a while.
I was creating clothes, alterations, planned projects and my own photography on the weekends, with plans to document it all here. And I still want to.

I'm coming back. I am losing my job ~ for business reasons, and looking for more work. This will keep me busy, I want to share on here, a lot of what I do.

So I hope you like - full sized back packs - cloaks (going for belle's winter cloak, from Beauty and the Beast), lace paneled shear skirts and a some practices. I'm aiming for button holes. Something I need more practice on, and I could do so much more. Also going to try quilting for the first time. It seems more scaring than button holes.

I also have some patterns and lovely fabrics to share.

I am aiming to start posting by the end of July.

Thanks for reading, I hope to have more to share soon. x

Posting again from Saturday!

Hi everyone I'll be posting from this weekend onward - I've had other things to focus on since leaving uni. I've had courses, C.Vs and job applications to complete. I've still not had much luck but I need to keep busy and this is a positive way to spend my time, and give myself some work.
