Well my sewing room is almost finished,just got to hang the new cutains and find an old set of shelves to revamp then no excuse not to use some of the lovely textiles that I have been collecting. to good use.I can't hope to rival some of these great designs but perhaps I will find my own.

 

Winter clothes are coming!

 

Hello, it is always exciting to change from warm weather clothes to Autumn and Winter clothes. Just getting out last years stuff and deciding which to keep and which to take to the charity shop is fun.

The above is by Inge De Jonge and is charming

Inge again.

 This looks cosy!

I am nearly at the end of refurbishing and arranging my sewin room so I hope to post some of my own work soon along with some other bits and pieces.



 

 

 

Mid Summer Post

Well at last the summer came and out came the light and floaty things from last season.

Bought a few nice pieces fro charity shops as well.

 

The florals and the lawns and lots of lacy things!

Nadir clothes are so inspiring,the colours and the layering.

 Most of the last few months have been taken with making a sewing room for me.
I have used our third bedroom which had a large double bed in it for guests. There was never enough space to cut things out and then we had a serious leek in the roof that damaged the ceiling and outer wall.This seemed the right time to do what I have wanted to do for ages,make a proper sewing space!
The roof and ceiling are mended and I am painting the floor boards white. Steve and his lovely Dad are going to repaper and paint and the bed is being replaced by a bed settee. I have found in a charity shop a strong fold away table with storage spaces in the sides. I will not have to crawl all over the floor to cut out patterns. I am hoping it will be finished in the next couple of weeks and will post some pics then.
I had to turn all my stuff out and found lots of back copies of Gudrun Sjoden's catalogue which made inspirational bedtime reading for a few nights I also found a basket and filled it with discarded material from dresses etc and trawled the charity shops for older interesting fabrics.

This lovely piece is by Paris Rags.

Lovely layering!

I would love to visit this gorgeous French Boutique!

These clothes are works of art!
Anyway next time I will show you round my little den and hope to have made something from the Japanese Pattern books I bought off Amazon.

 

 

 

 

Sweet Disorder: I am going to spend a whole day in my sewing room!

I am going to spend a whole day in my sewing room!

 

Some inspiration here,a japanese pattern,putting a lace collar on a smock dress would brihten it up !

I will spend a bit of time sorting through my lace box.It is lovely just to look at it all !

I wish I could buy dress patterns in some of the shabby chic type fashions but so far although I have trawled  the net I have not come across any.

This is gorgeous made by Inge de Jonge.

I am always torn between making a garment or starting a patchwork

 

This is a favourite pattern,Folkwear have a wonderful array of ethnic and historical patterns,maybe I will have a look at them.

Bedtime now maybe I will dream of fabrics,lace and the silk route!

 

 

 



Some more lovelies !

Lace is so dainty ,it adds so much to a garment.
A lace collar is very flattering.

 

Another  bit of layering fun from Nadir!

I love the striped pants.

Love this but the shoes are a bit clumpy for such a graceful outfit.

Lovely detail. Stripes and lace look good together.

A timeless skirt or petticoat.

Masai is a favortite and guess what? I bought the little top on the right in a sale for a lot less that its original price ,I watched and waited and I was meant to have it. A bit naughty but once in a while something that is just you calls!

The posts I put on Sweet Disorder never get many comments but I use it to air my frivolous side !!!

Clothes I love them ,even my 90 yearold Mum is addicted !

 

 

She never to old to layer!!! 

 

 

 

 



Throw off the woollies!

This is a really good way to use many favourite fabrics !

This is the opposite ,plain ,comfy and stunningly simple.

Lovely fabrics.

Romantic Spring. Another idea from a painting

I really want this ,it is perfect and the hair.I am a hopeless romantic about clothes!!This is by Inge De Jonge.

Nadir's New Summer Collection!

I love the way so many gorgeous prints are used in Nadir Positano's clothes.

I think a holiday in Positano would be a great idea but would I go bankcrupt after it?

 

I do find the styles timeless and beautiful.

I think I might try to copy the idea of this patchwork piece.

 

I would love to wear this,it is so graceful and looks comfy and cool.

I want this !!!!

and this!

The bag is great.

As usual I love them all and this is just a glimse of the new collection.

Beautiful colours!

Makes me feel the warmth of the sun!
