All Day Sewing on Fridays

All sorts of projects are undertaken on Fridays in the Studio.

and sometimes we pitch in & help each other out

and in the process coin a new sewing term for the 

REinventing Dictionary

'Siamese Sewing'

 where more than one person simultaneously sews the same project.

as witnessed here with Jo & Bron Doilying Jo's tablecloth.

I'll sometimes selfishly put my hand up to help out just so I can see the outcome

as was the case with the sleeves for Alex's Smock-That's-Not-a-Frock.

 

Often times someone elses opinion 

backed up with practical advice is all that's needed 

to save a project from eternal damnation in the back of the wardrobe

as with Kates Japanese Frock 

which we sorted by shortening & adding contrasting fabric around the hem edge. 

It's always lovely to see a completed-at-home REinvention return 

especially when it has been personalised as is the case with Brons 

Piece of Cake styled Tunic made from a shirt & skirt

now with floral embellishments.

ticked alot of REinventing boxes
don't be afraid to walk away, never say never, listen to your intuition & the garment/fabric
and the result I think you'll agree was worth it.

Lunch

is always welcome

and it's not all about yummy food

or conversations that could save the world

it's about feeling safe in the company of like minded souls

enjoying time & space away from the rigors of real life

in a garden that looks like someone painted it.

 and even though 'Homework' is a dirty word round these parts,

I've got some this week

which I've promised will be ready for viewing next week.
