It's been ages since I've posted here! Things got busy the past couple of months, which is great, but I don't have much else time for anything but work. There's a month left until the Melbourne Doll Market so I'm contantly sewing, thinking about sewing, or making lists. If all goes well I should have plenty of stock for the day.
Over the past few months I've been thinking about doing a couple of things - patterns and tutorials. Patterns take a lot of time to make and perfect, so they're awhile off. I need to scan them into my computer and clean them up, photograph the steps and write out clear instructions, and then pass this all on to a few friends to see if what I've done actually works and makes sense! So as you can see, lots of work and time has to be invested into them.
But tutorials don't take as much time. I wouldn't be doing so much pattern based ones, as technique ones - explaining finishing techniques, how to work with certain fabrics, ect. I'm going to write a basic tips one up soon, as it doesn't require photographs, but in the future I'm also planning a tutorial on gathering, how to work with knit fabrics (including a separate tutorial on collars on knit tops), lining a jacket/coat, and how to make a tiered skirt. If anyone has any other things they'd like to learn, let me know and I'll see what I can do. :)

I would be very interested in learning what you have to offer Mon, so when you do get the time to share your wisdom, I'll be here to soak it up!
