Inspiration

 

I love fashion.  I always have.  Even now that I am older, I still love trying new looks and adapting existing items to create new looks.

Although spring is still a long way off, there are new looks in the shops and in the magazines.  So instead of a sewing Sunday, I got out my suitcase of clothes from the loft - the ones that I haven't been wearing for a while - and armed with a magazine for inspiration started to put together some new looks.  I spotted several lacey looks.  I had a short top that I made many years ago, but haven't worn for a while.  It's a nude pink colour rather than white but the colour is still quite prevalent. The top was open at the front as I used to wear it as an overshirt.  I sewed up the front to make a dress, and added a lot of jewellery.  The seam up the front is not as noticable when I wear it as in the picture.

As the weather is still cold I will need to wear it with tights and I'll need a long sleeved T-shirt underneath it but I love trying out new looks as the seasons change.  More new inspiration later this week.
