I dont know if I have ever admitted it but I never use patterns or measure anything !
Yes that’s pretty naughty, I do everything by eye, I dont stress about it and Im not afraid to see what happens.
All my bags, quilts, everything is totally improvised. Of course it is a skill which is built from a lot of trial and error but I now feel comfortable to hack into an expensive piece of fabric without a second thought or a bit of tailors chalk.
If you’d like to learn the art ‘Dirty sewing for bad girls’ I will be running a workshop on Saturday 12th February to learn how to sew something and break all the rules at the same time.
You will be designing and making your own bag to take home at the end of the day!
