Hey Peeps!
How is everyone today? I’ve had a very busy week and it’s only really just starting for me….since opening the shop I’ve been trying to balance my hours there with the hours at home I need to spend prepping projects so I have something to actually do whilst I’m at the shop. I’ve mentioned before… with all that balancing I seem to forget to have a day off but this week I remembered and gave myself Wednesday off which was lovely. Mum and I went in to town to do some shopping, have lunch, get poked with needles (that was Mum, not me) and go to the cinema. We saw Captain America: Civil War and I thought it was fab. So many good movies coming up this summer…..I can’t wait!
So today I thought I would share some of the newest release from my favourite brand Trashy Diva….
…..and I’ve picked the Blanche style which is a super flattering wrap dress. Both of these prints are knit fabrics which means you can eat the largest of lunches and still feel comfortable…..always a plus in my book!
As you know I stock Trashy Diva in my shop, the beautiful prints and designs were part of the reason I started the shop in the first place. I always look forward to their new print releases and so far this year has lived up to expectations! Which is your favourite?
You are truly an artist!! That being said, I have a question and maybe a future video idea with you and your mom, on patterns and material that your mom might like. She wears beautiful comfortable outfits. Let me tell you a bit about me. I’m 66. I live in Atlanta Georgia. I have gone back to sewing because of your videos. At my age it is very difficult to find comfortable, pretty, age appropriate clothing. I want to feel pretty and look nice. I have made two blouses now. The first a disaster!!! I am going to make. A vintage simplicity pattern. #2981. But I do not know what type of fabric will provide a nice flow for the 8 panels. Recommended fabric; laundered cotton. Laundered silks-rayons. Etc. I love how your dresses drape so nicely. Could you send recommendations. I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your wonderful waffles!#! Love them!
