Have just found your blog, your projects are amazing considering you have only been sewing since 2009, well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you ever so much!
DeleteOh, I too have just discovered your blog. It came about via a friend who "liked" a fabric FB page, idly curious I thought...oh wonder what that shop is like (as one does). You had commented on the page showing the dress you made with the black lace from the Boxing Day sale. I loved the dress and your blog!
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn for myself for about...um...30 years but am getting into pottering with baby/toddler clothes as my niece has recently had her first child. I must say though you've inspired me to consider doing some for myself :-)
Gillian thank you and welcome! Your feedback is so lovely to hear and I'm so glad you enjoy my blog and that black lace dress!
DeleteThanks for commenting and good luck with your sewing projects! x
My goodness you're a brilliant sewer! Your garments fit you so amazingly well and look as good if not better (particularly the blue dress) than the one you're copying!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I am amazed!! And jealous... And amazed! LOL
ReplyDeleteI was just Googling how to make sleeves and I found your beautiful rose sleeves! I'm a complete novice so I'm going to have to build up the courage to try to make them.
ReplyDeleteYour designs are gorgeous and you're very talented. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you Julia!
Wow, those are really good copies! If I don't copy my projects from pictures, they come out looking really weird & sometimes ugly. I definitely need to work on my designing skills...
ReplyDeleteFound your blog when searching some Burda pattern. Your work is every inspiring.It seems to take years of experience but you did it in the last couple years.
ReplyDeleteBtw I am gonna try to let my partner to use the seam ripper.

ReplyDeleteYour Celebrity Copycats are very inspiring, particularly your Megan and Joan Mashup.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for my notebook.
Wow! What a great idea! And the clothes look so stylish! I'm relatively new to sewing and I'm trying to make clothes based on paintings. I've not got very far yet...my results to date are on http://frockfriday.co.uk/ You'll see I'm still researching.
ReplyDeletesome beautiful stuff! I like the small modifications to create some cleaner lines and more modern silhouettes. Nice edits.
