{Inspire} - How do you wear yours?

One thing that I love about our Pussy Bow Blouse Pattern is that it is versatile! By having the bow as a separate piece from the blouse, this gives you options and there's nothing quite like a garment that gives you options!
I made up this sweet black and white spotted georgette this week and have been having fun playing with the different ways that you can tie the bow, and the different looks that it gives you. From prim, proper and quirky to laid back and casual, so how do you wear yours?

{Inspire} Exploded Flowers

These beautiful graphic images are just too pretty not to share. The lovely magazine; Anthology, shared them just the other day and I wanted to share them to! I love how graphic these flowers have become. A study in repetition, pattern, texture, shape and scale. These photographs are also available to purchase as prints, which would look gorgeous to add colour to a sewing space!

Jacket Terminology:

Since completing my tailored jacket, I have become slightly obsessed with jackets in all shapes and sizes and can't stop analysing every jacket I see;  fit, type of collar, width of lapels, height of notches and depth of break points are all coming under scrutiny. Just incase I am speaking a language that you don't understand heres a little help to know your notches from your lapels.

While we are talking about jacket collars, here are a few of the main collar variations for next time you are admiring a jacket, you too can talk about its peaked lapels, high notches, or lovely Roll collar.
