Goodwood Revival is on every year local to me, and I always try to make it. It is a celebration of all things racing from the 1940's to 1960's. The main interest for me is that everyone dresses up in vintage clothing, from WAF's to pin-up girls, soldiers to airmen. I didn't think I would be able to go this year but a free ticket kindly given by a friend was wafted under my nose at the last minute, and I threw on a hair curler, head scarf, land girl boiler suit and wellies, and me and my little evacuee were off! I am hugely influenced by this day out, and after seeing everyone in those gorgeous vintage fabrics and cuts, I am gagging to get home and design.
I have been so busy in the hand-baggery department! The Christmas Fair at Conifers School in Easebourne, Midhurst is looming on Friday 11th November and my hands are so sore from all the stabs and jabs of my needle and pins from sewing, they are a mess!
I have also been busy with children's sewing workshops for Halloween which have been a success both at The Rainbow Rooms in Haslemere and with my first home workshop. We made spooky ghosts to hang up and the little ones seemed to love it.
It's confirmed, I have sewing classes booked for Wednesday 26th October at the Rainbow Rooms in Haslemere, Surrey. The classes are for 6 - 10 year olds, for boys and girls. We shall be making hand stitched Spooky Ghosts and Pumpkins!
Lots of fun for children, but places are limited so if you are interested please book as soon as possible.
