hey! you’re an inspiration to me. I am amazed at your work at such a young age… I need help please! WHAT inspires you to sew?

Thankyou! :D
I mainly make things because I can’t afford beautiful vintage clothes.. So I just make them instead! That’s very true for corsets, as they can cost well over £100, and I can make one for about £25!
Going on Burdastyle inspires me to sew, I like seeing what everyone’s making :)

Thankyou :) The interviewer was a really lovely lady and I don’t even have GCSEs or A levels! But I got an unconditional offer! :D

Heya,
Where did you get that fabric? I am always hunting in fabric shops for the perfect leopard print stretch and can never find the right balance & love yours to bits!

It’s from this ebay shop :

they will send you a sample first before you buy :)
It is really good stuff and affordable too :)
I hope you get what you want
