I like clothes. While it’s not with the passionate zeal I once did (remember back when NOTHING else mattered more than what you were wearing to your friend’s house party that weekend? Okay, you and I both know I was far too nerdy to go to house parties - after all, my favourite outfit was a Tokyo Ghetto Pussy t-shirt paired with a Pokémon backpack... but I think you get the sentiment).  I’m delighted that my little sojourn into the sewing world is reigniting that little fashion fire within me.

Anyone following this blog will already appreciate it is much less about the actual function of sewing and a whole lot more about me trying my hand at something new. To put it in Microsoft Word terms, you could ‘find and replace’ the term “sewing” with pretty much any pursuit imaginable and (save for the bits about interfacing, selvedges and twin needles) the posts would make something resembling near-perfect sense (likely even more in some cases. Especially if the word was "jelly-wrestling"). So, why sewing?
