Hello There,

Thank you for your lovely comments...

Where abouts in Cambridgeshire do you live? I come from Peterborough, good charity shops as I remember! If you want to learn to make clothes, a good way is unpicking existing garments to see what shapes all the pieces are and try and sew it back together, I also used to unpick clothes I really liked to get the pattern and make them up in different fabrics too, that's basically how I learnt. If you've got all these ideas swimming around in your head just have a go at making them come to life, the outcome might not always be as you imagined, but the more you have a go and practice, the better you'll get, also, along the way there may be some happy accidents that you hadn't even considered before. I still makes mistakes and things don't always turn out as I wanted, but it's all part of the design process, and you work out how to do it better the next time you have a go.
