With the end of wedding season looming, I'm all set for a bit of me time!
It's been my first full wedding season since opening the shop, after having caught the tail end when we opened last year I couldn't even have imagined how busy it was going to be! It's been hard work, with massive ups and downs but now it's finally calming down I couldn't feel more inspired to be cracking on with some design work!
I'm currently in major need of some good sleep, a hair overhaul, a bath and maybe a little holiday! However, today I have been drafting up my pattern blocks ready to get cracking on some brand new designs both for weddings and beautiful recycled dresses.

Throughout Uni, the design and pattern cutting aspect is always what I enjoyed most. I've always been a bit of math geek and enjoy solving problems (mathematical ones, not such an agony aunt!). Having never quite gotten the hang of draping, pattern cutting really is down to mathematics, working out how to create a shape by manipulating the fabric then recreating it on paper.
I'd love to eventually do some workshops on pattern cutting, getting the basics of dart manipulation for all you lovely sewers to create your own patterns!
I'll post some photos from design to patterns to final pieces soon!
