jenny the sweatshop.

it's one of those blah days that i really can't wait to end, but sadness seems to have done wonders for my creativity.
right, i can't be bothered to write long detailed paragraphs, lists are the way forward:

1. i made my strawberries and cream skirt, elasticated waist so sits just above the hips on tummy, looks super-cute wth cream top and boots.

2. making dresses for other people is far more stressful/ complicated than making for yourself. over the past week, i've gone through about 20 different designs, we've had colour changes, shape, length, fabric, hem type.. everything has been changed and changed back. still very excited about it all, but i wish people could be much more decisive.

3. i'm currently making a clutch bag for someone. got the fabric today; deep purple satin which will be quilted, with gold magnetic fastening to open and large detailed gold button to cover where the fastening stitching is. got the rolls of wadding and hard-backing interface out, gonna be a long night. but shall hopefully be the beginning of a collection of bags which are going to be sold towards the end of year/ early next year which is tres exciting.. aslong as it comes out ok.

4. i've been turned into a one-woman factory making denim album covers.. my sewing machines begun to make odd noises under all this work, i really hope it doesn't explode again, that was a longg day trying to get it healed.

that's all i've got for today, i'm up at 5.30am tomorrow to go help a friend at a bootsale. why? i have no idea.
