Last weekend was spent enjoying the sunshine and then the rain at Sunrise festival with the lovely Jan from Saris and Silks, Maggie from Felt Like a Hat and Harriet from Umbul-Umbul! I did take a few of my recycled fabric pocket belts, but people weren't really shopping so i will just have to save them for all the lovelys at Larmer tree in a few weeks time! Speaking of a few weeks... I have so much to cut out and sew, and only 4 weeks to do it in! Instead I have been creating a new website for all that is Tassia.B... so you can see my handywork at tassia-b.weebly.com. But now that is up and running I do really need to knuckle down and do some serious sewing! I have all of my fabric orders in now, so I have been busy dyeing the Hemp for my waistcoats and some of the soy for my pocket dresses. Today's colour was Ocean Blue so my garden was a sea of sea this afternoon... in between the annoying June showers we are constantly getting!
I just have a few more deliveries to wait for, one of my thread colours for this years variations and the other is all my hangers for the mountains of stock I actually have to make now!
I have an order from a lovely lady named Louise who bought a dress off me last year at Womad and found me online to request another design for this summer! So first things first when my thread arrives is to get her order made and posted, then I can get cracking! 7 pocket dresses cut out so far, another 24 to go... plus 16 tops, 4 pairs of trousers and 24 waistcoats! Then there is the long list I have delegated for my busy helper to do (my lovely mother!) another 20 pairs of trousers, 10 long skirts and 16 dresses! Wish me luck....
