    you are awesome! I love all the stuff you’ve made. It has inspired me to bust out some more dresses and a coat or two. Thanks!

    Hi there, accidentally stumbled on your site – and love it!
    would you mind of I asked your sewing advice on something. I can sew (a bit)….guess am an ambitious novice. Have a black tie event to go to and can’t quite find the dress of my dreams. Have found an image (dress have seen in a fashion magazine)…but can’t find matching dress pattern – might be a mix of 2 patterns type job….what should I do?

    thanks so much appreciate any suggestions – happy to forward the image so you can see what I mean
    ??

      You can totally frankenpattern a few patterns together to get a specific look 🙂 Just be warned that you may have to adjust pieces to get them to fit each other (narrowing the side seams of a skirt to get it to fit a bodice, for example). I would definitely make a muslin first, just to be sure that the pieces work together.

    Inspirational.. in the phase at the moment where i have barely started on a new hobby, and therefore are convinced i will be a sewing genius… probably should actually go sew instead of just admiring your awesome work 🙂

      Wow! You are prolific!

    Wow ! What a great range of outfits, love them all. Just getting back into sewing after years of not doing anything apart from altering shop bought!!!! I love knitting too. I have a bit more time on my hands now so hopefully my wardrobe will grow with my own creations!!

      By the way I’m from Wales, United Kingdom.

    Hi! I am Laura and I live near Atlanta, Georgia. I am so glad I tripped over your site tonight. I’ve been beginning sewing for years but am wanting to step up my game so I will be coming back often to watch tutorials etc. I have family in Mt. Juliet, TN. You are close to my twin in size and shape also.

    My partner and I stumbled over here by a different website and thought I may as well check
    things out. I like what I see so now i am following you.
    Look forward to finding out about your webb page again.

    Okay, including all the other years, that is one big closet. (And a lot of clothes!) I’m impressed.

  21. Sandra December 31, 2015 at 8:24 am #

    Wow! increible armario. Me sorprende todas las bellas piezas que has cosido. Espero poder enfocarme en mis proyectos de costura para poder coser tanto como deseo durante el 2016. Tu blog y costura son inspiradores.
