Cut n sew / Clothkits type kits - anyone got any links to more please?

[GladioliBuckets]

Have nearly finished a set of vintage American Xmas decs from a cut-n-sew printed panel. I really like the idea of Clothkits but I just can't stand their prints! Just too retro for me, my tutor at school had a postcard skirt so similar to one in their new range . On the other hand, I've found a few US sewing kits but they are v sickly and cheesey looking or just for kids.
Does anyone know of anything similar out there? Are there any WAHMs out there perhaps making pre-cut kits perhaps?

TIA.

Watching with interest! I just made a clothkits skirt, it was the dark grey and black one...I don't like the postcard type prints either but some of their stuff is very nice.

I've got a mulberry Big bird skirt

I LOVE it

Ooh Boys...did you make it yself?

If so please tell me how you managed the lining issue. I ended up sewing mine to the main skirt hem, to hide the horrid hems...have not got a zig zagger on my machine! And now it goes all rumply.

Might have to adapt it.

just get some patterns and buy material you like

where do you live? do you want me to come and give you sewing lessons?

phhhhh no I didn't make it myself

A mate made it for me bless her

I feel like I'm SOMEONE striding out in it with my long boots

sounds gorge, boys moocow who were you offering to teach? I think I remember you off some other thread a while back.

not mulberry, loganberry.got me berries muddled arf

oh i really like Clothkits designs especially the old 70's patterns!

GladioliBuckets - i don't think it's something you find much tbh
if you want to make your own clothes i'd suggest taking a basic class and starting with simple patterns, there are lots of gorgeous fabrics out there and lovely sewing books - also Flossie Teacakes has been blogging her adcventures in dressmaking recently makes interesting reading.

Ah cheers all, will have to pull myself together and stop being such a lazy sod.

Re the prints, think I'm just from the wrong era for current retro fashion, means I'm now officially old I guess. Like I don't get why all the young men on tv ads have the kind of haircuts you used to get on lonely paedos (you know, just a bit too long, lank side parting, need a shave, look a bit smelly.) I remember my older sister really struggling with the idea of bootleg jeans because well, they were flares weren't they?
