Sewing Plans & Inspiration For This year

 

At the end of 2019, my love for sewing returned. In the past few years I have sewn professionally for various occupations and reasons. However, the pressure this brings with it almost killed my love for sewing for myself. This year I have many sewing plans, I intend to sew slowly and fall in love with my sewing machine all over again!

Sewing Plans:

I will blame Instagram for this purchase, I was ‘influenced’ by a fellow sewist who was sharing her favourites from a batch of newly released patterns. This one caught my eye…love the sleeves.

Sewing inspiration Little Women The Film by Greta Gerwig

There can only be one thing that will inspire us home sewists this year. Little Women the new film by Greta Gerwig. Prairie dresses and beautiful embroidered blouses with puffed sleeves have captured my imagination since seeing the film on Boxing Day. If you haven’t seen it yet and you like a good costume period drama, you must go and see it!

Prairie style dresses will be everywhere this year!

Do you remember my Prairie style dress I made last year? I had lots of fun prancing around in the cornfield and the square version of this picture turned out to be my best instagram image for 2019!

Modern Wooden Sewing Tools

I also love wooden sewing tools, I have a lot of vintage ones, some over 70 years old! Wooden handled tools are a joy to use and hold. I buy new ones from Grace at Beyond Measure. Compared to the plastic ones we are used to for example just think of all the stitch unpickers you have used over the years. My new oak wooden stitch unpicker,  in the pic below will last forever, I will just buy replacement blades that cost £2.50. Talk about sustainable!

I also bought my wooden pin cushion from Grace too!

Hello February! Happy as Larry with an armful of new fabric, bargain priced fabric, those lace fabrics were £1 pm 😳From local store @hansonsfabricsandcrafts Day made 🙌🏻
.
Big hello to new followers , let me reintroduce myself . . . I’m Ashley 👋🏻 a fabric and yarn obsessed midlife ‘gal’ 
Former air stewardess, costume maker and retail store manager. 
An empty nester with son at University, (he’s not too far away 😭) I feathered a new nest with 2 cats who live happily with our two dogs. 
My partner and I are keen on restoring pre loved vintage items of furniture lighting etc into unique pieces for our home. He does the hard work I draw the sketches and point at things. 
I post about my handmade life, sewing and crochet projects, our home restorations and occasionally the clothes and beauty products I wear and use as a midlife woman .
I find it very hard to be niche as I have too much to say! 
I have also been writing my blog Lazy Daisy Jones (link in bio) for almost 10 years. 
I very much enjoy connecting with other midlife girls on insta and proving it’s not just for the under 30’s . 
Leave me a comment if you are over 35 and any of this resonates with you Hellooooo x

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.
