I've been thinking about this for a while, but today is the day I'm going to do it!
All my life I've been fascinated by fabrics and what can be done with them. In my teens I taught myself to sew and made a lot of (I'm sure) slightly odd creations that expressed my inner self. As time has gone by, and money has been available, or non-existnet, I've made various things out of silk and cashmere, altered charity shop buys, and done a million thngs in between.
With the economy as it is, and a growing sense of awareness about the importance of not wasting things, my self-imposed challenge right now is to take other people's out-grown or not-quite-right articles of clothing and make something desirable out of them. But I'm not prepared to give up style! Oooh nooo!
Over the next few weeks I hope you'll come with me as I explore the possibilities in a number of different items and see what I can do with them. With luck, I hope you will feel inspired to do the same.
