To be honest, even if you doubt your sewing abilities, whatever you make will be better than something from the "high street" stores. Also for me personally, being a professional who works with their brain all day (well so they tell me....) I love sewing because I can create things that people can see and use and its so satisfying. I also love that you save all those sorry wee zips and findings! This post just makes me happy :DTreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319274204951528344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-68283510772122100462014-10-31T11:04:08.158+00:002014-10-31T11:04:08.158+00:00Oh gosh I love everything about this outfit.

Sometimes I feel capes don't look so flattering on but this one is such a lovely shape. Well done. You most certainly inspire me to play one the sewing machine.

I'm certainly itchy to give sewing more of a go at the moment. I've recently bought a simply pinny pattern the op shop. But just the other week I'd some transformations and turned a maxi dress into a maxi skirt and a round retro fringed tablecloth into a a circle skirt.
