& I am bloody knackered but the skirt is nearly hemmed!

I have the rest of today, tomorrow later afternoon evening and Saturday evening to finish it

Stupid idea anyway!

I’d love to see a finished pic! I could never do something like that, well done for your hard work

FriedasCarLoad · 25/10/2019 17:20

Oh I love the simplicity of it (no doubt no simple to make, but those lines are lovely)

Ohyesiam · 25/10/2019 17:22

Wow op!

I am something of a dress maker, but could never tackle anything like that. Very very impressive.

user764329056 · 25/10/2019 17:24

Well done, am useless at making anything so admire those who can, it’s lovely

There is a big unveiling at the Wedding Fair at 11 on Sunday & I'll post on here as soon as possible afterwards - although it will be scheduled to arrive at 11 on FB (& maybe instagram if I can work out how to schedule on ig)

Thanks

It's a kingsize duvet, 2 single sheets and 2 pillowcases.....

I've been asked to display it at a venue in London as an example or remaking/upcycling!

AutumnCrow · 29/10/2019 21:24

Oh good grief you are ridiculously talented! Well done.

Trumpton · 29/10/2019 21:26

Oh it’s lovely . Well done you !

Beautiful!

WooHoo a London invite!!!

Thanks chaps - those who know me, it's been a long road but I think this is my new vocation!

Now I just need to work out how to make money at it

Slow fashion is where it's at but I need a venue/market to sell from...

OP posts:

RandomMess · 30/10/2019 22:47

Perhaps there is money to be made in vintage and upcycled or recycled bespoke bridal wear?

It is the one time people will spend money on one garment???

KatyMac · 31/10/2019 11:31

That might be true - let me ponder on it for a bit - thanks

You need to find a way into the wanky sector of the "green" market. I wonder what categories there are on Depop? Or whatever that clothing site is called?

Original poster

KatyMac · 31/10/2019 11:37

There is Depop, Etsy, Folksy, and Nu-Monday (I picked Nu-Monday but i think that was a bad choice)

I'm not sure if I can be on Etsy if I can't sell to the states

There must be some forums out there for these super ethical people?
