Creativity returned today after a bug has made me feel very under the weather for most of January. I'm taking inspiration from a trip made to Venice, some years ago. I intend to put the techniques used in a blog post on my website. By the way, have you seen the brilliant film Sing Street? One of my favourite songs came on the radio as I was sewing the floral print to the T and there's a connection with the film.😊 📍 ✂️ 🏵️ 🎥 🎶 #refashioning #recycledfashion #refashion #charityshopfind #charityshopchic #sewing #sewingskills #isew #handmadewardrobe #creativity #janomemakes #sewistsofinstagram #appliqué #stripesandflowers #learntosew #gondola #gondolier #venice #horticulture #floralprint #memadeeveryday #secondhandfirst #makesmthng #thriftstorefinds #designermaker #travelinspiration

There's something special about old cotton reels. I love the feel of the wood, instead of the plastic used these days. The fonts, print colours and the names of thread colours appeal to me too. A few of my favourite colours amongst these are Flamingo, Lt Apple Green and Pomegranate. 😁 I've been taking pictures to add to my website. New year, fresh ideas! 📍 ✂️ 💗 #vintagestyle #lovesewing #sewingtuition #bristol #sewistsofinstagram #cottonreels #smallbusiness #learntosew #haberdashery #sylko

2018, what an interesting year. A year of finding increased clarity about who I enjoy working for and with. A year of teaching sewing, reflecting on life lessons, winning a night away at vegan B&B @bijoubandbwsm and of making plans for a great 2019, amongst other things. 📍 ✂️ ✏️ 📐 ♻️ 🌿 #sewing #learntosew #sewcialists #creativelifehappylife #vegansofig #vegandesigner #sewersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #patternmaking #patterncutting #upcycling
