a sudden segue ...

A sudden segue into sewing. Yes it's true! These last few weeks, my head has been filled with yardages not gauges, dresses not jumpers, pattern 'adjustments' not the old familiar increase/decrease cycle. It's a new world, and one that whirs through my fingers frighteningly fast once the sewing machine's turned on.

So why start sewing? Because I'd like clothes. Now. That I could wear now, even (as it then was) in the middle of Summer. Something other than maternity clothes, perhaps? Those 3 tops; 1 trouser; and 1 skirt I wore and washed again and again? Oh, and no, not my gardening clothes either ... that's what the rest of my (small) wardrobe has turned into now, developing too many holes after years of wear.

So. I'd like clothes - new, stylish, flattering, fitted ... perhaps in interesting shapes, a little 'fashion forward' ... oh, and ideal for breastfeeding. Yup, I'd better start learning to sew for myself ;)
