en garde

am finding old pictures out of outfits Ive made for the boys here is George as  musketeer. I self drafted all the patterns fro this one as they were quite easy shapes to make and stitched a feather onto a bought hat!!!

Just to show I can make normal things here is a dress I made for a wedding completed it in just under 3 hours start to finish with simplicty amazing fit pattern was well impressed. Am in the process of scanning in some old theatre production pictures of costumes that I have made over the years so will post when done

bugsy malone

Will was in a school production of bugsy malone playing Leroy the boxer.
Can I have a gangster suit made he asked?
 I found an old copy of vogue 2367 zoot suit on ebay- it was too big so I scaled it down to fit a 13 year old. Bought some striped wool flannel and some paisley lining and sewed. I think it looks really cool. the trousers and the waistcoat are from my good old Burda suit pattern for boys ( see other reviews). Fedora from TK MAXX ( my favorite shop £9.00)

House is a mess as always but we are renovating the hall thats why it has bare plaster!
