I've decided to do something about it.....Learn to sew my own clothes.
Yes, I'd class myself as a beginner, I have made a dress before, it was a while back, for an art project so I didn't have to fit it and it didn't matter if the hem wasn't straight.
I have this image in my head of gorgeous fitted couture style dresses that I'm going to make for myself. I know in reality I'm going to have to start at the beginning and take it slow.

Searching online I found this fantastic vintage style Boutique near me.
It's called Flo - Jo Boutique, a beautiful shop on Gloucester road that sells wonderful fabrics and patterns, they also have sewing classes available.
I may attend one, but for now, I bought a hand made knicker kit and a few little extras to get me started and build my confidence with the sewing machine.
Might I add the lady serving me was so friendly and helpful, I told her I was a beginner and she assured me if I need any help I could always call or pop back in.
I just adore that in a shop, excellent customer service is always a must for me when I am shopping, and they certainly ticked that box.
Have you been to this gem of a shop? Let me know below if you have, along with any links to posts on your latest Sewing projects.
