Ok, I have decided to rekindle my girlhood love of making clothes.
I need a hobby that is creative and allows me to switch off from my hectic job.
I would love to start learning how to make clothes for my DD who is 3. Double bubble for me in terms of de-stressing and being able to put some love into making something lovely for her.
I am very rusty, but I sort of think I had a knack for it when I was a teenager which I'm hoping will re-emerge!
I don't have a sewing machine at the moment but am going to borrow my mums until I feel like this is something I'm going to properly get into.
I don't have an overlocker or any of that gubbins.
Am I being completely unrealistic?
I would be grateful if any of you could point me towards a great online pattern store to get me started. I like dressing DD in relatively unusual stuff - pre-credit crunch I bought her stuff on Nordic Kids website, but I also like 70's style blouses, denim dresses and flares. I quite like the idea of a bold patterned pinafore dress as a starting point - seems like this might be one of the easier garments to start on?
Anyway, I'm sure there is a wealth of brilliant seamstresses that lurk in this area (have never posted in this section before!). Please spare a moment to shove me in the right direction.
TIA.
