Sustainability within Interior Design is not efficient

Machinery set up, pattern cut out of my fabric, thread and pins all ready to go.

I start off by turning my fabric inside out and overlocking the edges. This way, once it’s overlocked, I can turn my fabric the right way again, and my dress will be seamless.

I then use my normal sewing machine and fold the edges neatly to make a seam. And whala, done!

Now listen ill be honest with you… sometimes it’s not a super smooth process. I’ll be real with you and say that it can be frustrating when you stuck and don’t know what to do. You prick your fingers, you sometimes sew skew and even cut your pattern too small ending up with this miniature dress, small enough to fit a 12-year-old. But that’s not the point. You see, dressmaking isn’t all that hard, people have this belief that creating your own clothing can be difficult or hard to execute but with practice, it can come easy.

With this blog I have wanted to try and encourage anyone reading this to try and get creative, to move out their comfort zone and gain the confidence of creating your own clothing. Have some fun and enjoy. I hope this possibly help!
