Image from WesterlyLibrary.orgI’ve have seen most of these movies numerous times (probably on day-time TV on a Sunday) but was yet to own a copy so seeing as they were going out for $10 each I stocked up.
With the weather being pretty miserable at the moment and most of my cash going towards paying for my driving lessons (should finally get my license by the end of the month) and starting burlesque classes next week I figure I had to spend money to save money. By spending money on movies I will stay in on the weekend and save money that I would otherwise be spending if I were out and about. I love my logic…
I will tell you more about the burlesque classes once I get started but at this stage I’ve got at least one of my girl friends coming with me so even if my “dancing” is beyond disgraceful it should be a laugh.
I have to apologize for my lack of blogging recently, I have not been feeling my best and have been flat out at work… which means I haven’t really done anything note worthy (or even watched anything noteworthy). I did go to a party on the weekend though so I should have an outfit post for sometime soon, although my self photography skills are still not up to par.
I will try and get back into the “3 a week” blogging habit shortly, and with my next project I am sure I will a lot to say. Once I get my license out of the way I am planning on learning how to sew…
The idea of being able to make my own clothes from vintage patterns just sounds perfect to me so I want to give it a whirl. I have a friend who works at Spotlight so when the machine she said was the best for beginners was on sale I went in and picked one up. This was roughly 3 months ago. It has since sat there in our spare room, lonely, still in its box mocking me…

When I was in Spotlight picking it up, I was full of inspiration so I got some patterns too. Of course I was drawn to the retro patterns and all of them were quite nice, but not getting to ahead of my self I picked the easy ones.

I have no idea how this little adventure will go, but I am sure it will be an interesting one. I will be sure to keep you update once I get started.
If you’ve got any tips for beginners would be really appreciated. Oh, and keep your fingers crossed for me for my license test.
You will totally fall in love with sewing! I started just over a year ago and haven't looked back, I hardly ever buy clothes any more. Vintage patterns are fab, but good idea to start with a modern re-release of a vintage pattern as the instructions are easier to follow. I found that vintage patterns are then much easier to work out! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, i hope so... I am sure I will but I hope im not completely horrible at it. I would be shattered... Yeah, I had heard that original vintage patterns are tough to start with if you havent dealt with the modern ones. Thanks for luck :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment! I also want to start sewing, but I'm broke...but I will sneak a peek at your blog! Good luck!
