Renovating my style at 53
Some fabrics have waited 20 years for this moment. Their time has come. They may just end up being something.
Its time to start analysing wardrobe contents. If you are not up to doing this on your own it may be a good time for a visit from a Wardrobe Therapist.
My point is not that sewing is easy but with the right progression of exercises and encouragement you will be ready to start thinking out the sewing process.
It doesnt mean that your machine wont have you feeing frustration, despair, anxiety and defeat at times, and it certainly doesnt mean that you can throw the unpicker away.
When you are at the sewing machine know what has to be done in that moment. No guessing. No hoping.
I'm confident cutting into fabric. I know what Im doing. The challenge for me usually lies pretty close to the finish line!
I want you to succeed in sewing. I want you to enjoy sewing. I want you to work with whats in front of you.
Sew ... La Te Do ... I still cant get enough of that scene. The children sing and frolic over the meadow... clothes made from curtain fabric!
We all have them, don't we - boxes of fabric we aren't sure what to do with. Bring them to the Margaret Adam Sewing School on Saturday 5 February and find out whether to trash or treasure your fabric!
