3. Home Sewing Is Killing Fashion

And it's illegal

I'm old enough to remember record inner sleeves with the industry slogan about home taping.

This is not my design, but I love both it and the sentiment.

How many home sewers exist on Mastodon I wonder? Do you have a machine lurking in a cupboard at home unused, or does it have its own room surrounded by sewing paraphernalia?

Essay on Sunday: Can a stitch in time still save us?

For my mother, sewing was a means to our family's survival. To me it's about the survival of the planet.

The Spinoff

Here's a close up of the fabric so you can see that the polkadots aren't just colourful spots, but are in fact little sweets!

Also some shots of the dress laid flat to show construction, including the in-seam pockets which are not part of the pattern, but easy to add in.

I'm happy with how this has turned out.
