Celebrity copy cat

I suffer from the 'I see it and I must have it' disorder - and I know I'm not the only one!

  1. Have just found your blog, your projects are amazing considering you have only been sewing since 2009, well done.

  2. Oh, I too have just discovered your blog. It came about via a friend who "liked" a fabric FB page, idly curious I thought...oh wonder what that shop is like (as one does). You had commented on the page showing the dress you made with the black lace from the Boxing Day sale. I loved the dress and your blog!

    I haven't sewn for myself for about...um...30 years but am getting into pottering with baby/toddler clothes as my niece has recently had her first child. I must say though you've inspired me to consider doing some for myself :-)

  3. My goodness you're a brilliant sewer! Your garments fit you so amazingly well and look as good if not better (particularly the blue dress) than the one you're copying!

  5. I was just Googling how to make sleeves and I found your beautiful rose sleeves! I'm a complete novice so I'm going to have to build up the courage to try to make them.

    Your designs are gorgeous and you're very talented. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

    Thank you Julia!

  6. Wow, those are really good copies! If I don't copy my projects from pictures, they come out looking really weird & sometimes ugly. I definitely need to work on my designing skills...

  13. Wow! What a great idea! And the clothes look so stylish! I'm relatively new to sewing and I'm trying to make clothes based on paintings. I've not got very far yet...my results to date are on http://frockfriday.co.uk/ You'll see I'm still researching.
