What I Did Next.

Sometimes, because people know that I make my own clothes, they comment on what I wear, and they ask whether I made it. Since I haven't made anything recently, I've had to respond with 'no' for a while, until someone reminded me that I said that I wouldn't buy anymore clothes, that I wanted to make all of my own clothes. So I went out and bought some material for a jacket. I took the photo just before I was due for iceskating class, sorry. I've half finished the pattern, I still have to draft out the sleeve, collar and epaulette patterns and I am half hoping to do a toile tonight (but maybe not).

The plan for the jacket. Just ignore that crazy hair.

Enough, I Say!

So I just finished a sketching class that my brother gave me for Christmas. It was fun, and I certainly learnt a lot, but I've decided that life sketching is not my thing. Not that I'm being ungrateful (or maybe I am, sorry!) but I just thought, 'Enough with the bowls and the nudes! More clothes, please!' Anyway, here's another sketch from my notebook. And you may have noticed the slight rehash of my banner. Thank you and goodnight!

Fierce!

When I'm having a break during iceskating practice, I do a sketch in my notebook. What do you think?

Ob-sessed!

So I was recently thinking of more animals to sketch re: my wedding invitations. That's why I've been spending hours gazing doe-eyed at photos and videos of dormice. Dang, they are so cute.
