Enjoyed this post – your wardrobe sounds like mine Esta, a happy mix of second hand, home-made and select pieces by New Zealand designers and makers. I am also super lucky that my partner is a sewer and he makes me beautiful pieces, from hoodies to party dresses. As he is a better sewer than me I have slowed down a bit with my own sewing, but you have inspired me to pick up the pace.
It's kinda nice to feel a certain pride in your wardrobe eh. And that is so cool that your partner sews clothes for you! I can see how that would slow down your own sewing efforts :) I'm definitely not great at sewing clothes and am lucky if I make one or two things a year. I'm fine with that though.
Wow! What an interesting article Esta. It's full of great resources and wouldn't it be wonderful to have all those books in your personal library! I especially love the idea of zero waste sewing, actually zero waste in anything that we make is something that we should all be thinking about. Those paperless patterns sound fantastic too, no more printing endless pages and taping them together, yay!
