I have recently got back into sewing, after a long period of doing very little I have started dragging out 4-year old projects in an attempt to finish them. It was while I was away that I started to miss my sewing machine and the possibilities it contained.
This renewed enthusiasm for a lifelong passion has given me my very own secret room, my log cabin, my childhood cupboard under the stairs. I can while away the hours at work in an imaginary world of seams, lace, patterned cottons and fittings, puntuated by visits to ebay, dressaday and Kleins to further fuel my imagination. I can now spend part of my day hiding in an abstract world, my brain buzzing away with images of dresses, jackets (I wish! They're so difficult), bags, shorts... The one thing that has captured my imagination is lingerie, or pants. With all underwear falling into either 'look each of my breats is a rock solid padded froufrou cream pie' or 'check my mesh + faux leather thong' categories I am always on the hunt for nice underwear. I basically like stuff that isn't cheesy, and fits well, with interesting fabrics. Add to that the fact that lingerie is small, and stretchy, hence not too fiddly to tailor and presto! I have a million wacky underwear ideas. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile I have my eyes on some nice stretchy lace from ebay.

Bite me Hennes! I don't need your shoddy clothes anymore!

-but not Topshop, for you are as pricey as the devil but lovlier.
