so the sorting of the sewing room has begun. Its rather slow and arduous - the first to find the recycling bin was a whole lot of textile notes. I don't fancy textile technology overly. Next came lots of PAD and Illustrator notes - my least favourite subjects at Fashion School. After filing all the design and patternmaking notes, i started on the fabric.
And, not surprisingly, inspiration began seeping out of the fabrics. Aprons were being formed in my design mind, and here is a pic of one of them underway (I took the photo on a strategic angle to avoid the crazy mess that still inhabits most of my sewing room). The frill at the bottom is from a frilled pillow slip - I might just put some along the top of the bib, for a bit of extra frilly shabby chic!
Next on the sort pile are my doileys - this is where it gets a bit scary - I have MASSES of them - too scared to count them - might have to admit i have an addiction! So out of that sorting came a cushion cover, to cover my rather tired cushions and freshen up the colour scheme in our lounge. I used a dyed pillow slip, a dyed napkin and a doiley for this one. Loving the colourway! The back is envelope style to avoid a zipper, and has some lovely machine embriodery on it, with a scalloped edge...
so the sorting has commenced. I am excited to see what else comes out of it :) J
