Need a warm top for a cool summer night, but conventional cardigans leave you hot and bothered? What if its a humid spirng day and you're worried about rain, but a traditional jacket would cramp your style? Sound familiar? Look no further than SLEEVES, yes I said sleeves.
I took some old hoodies which I didn't want, one had a stain on it and the other was just a bit old and dull, and turned them into Sleeve Tops. I took some inspiration from an old top my sister had, and some crazy clothes I saw on the antiform website:

I took inspiration from this site, but like to think of my clothes as rather less scary. Also mine didnt require any actual sewing or skill, which is always nice. I just had to cut in a fairly straight line, I did cut the cream top rather wee, oops. But my blue one worked out rather lovely. And I added a button, for some jazz.
Any suggestions as to what to do with the leftovers...

Bienvenue
Occasionally it seems that world is in pure chaos with nothing making sense, but that doesn't matter as long as I can sew. Sewing is a form of art, or at the very least creativity, and a form of expression. A great outlet for the tension of everyday life. Also you can make cute things. The craft revolution is truly taking place, old skills are being revived by a new generation, but with a seriously modern twist.
I've made Mario pillow cases, a giraffe print background, and turned duvet covers into summer dresses. I enjoy making something unique, special, and me- then I like wearing it and watching it fall to pieces or not fit properly. Then I enjoy (slightly less) fixing it.
One day I shall have a room filled with glorious fabrics and boxes of notions, and on that day I will have found my nirvana. But until then this blog will exist as my virtual haberdashery and sewing room. Hopefully you'll enjoy looking at my creations as much as I enjoy looking at other blogs, and you'll be inspire to make something of your own.
