(Late) New Years Resolutions

Here are my new years resolutions:
1. Update this blog more often
2. Not to buy any new clothes* (for as long as possible)

*exceptions to the rule: underwear (obviously) and probably long sleeve T-shirts as I wear them all year round and the current stock are probably going to need refreshing some time soon.

Note also the word NEW, this lets me get away with buying 2nd hand and vintage clothes and obviously making my own. Last night I finished my little blue skirt, but I have lots of other clothes projects (and non-clothes projects) on the list. Next up will be a bias cut dress which I am making as an example of the dress you can make at our 'Make a dress in a day' workshop (date probably in May). I have bought some rather funky fabric which is petrol blue / black / white tartan (looks better than it sounds, I promise).

Here's the skirt photo (not a fab photo but at least you get the idea!)
