A neighbour of mine runs a rather lovely flower shop, and also sells bits and pieces of ornaments, vases, you know the sort of thing. She suggested today that she'd put stuff of mine in the shop and see how it goes, vintage fabric and trimmings, new stuff, whatever I feel like making, and Christmas things, later. This is obviously a brilliant opportunity to make pretty things, which is what I like doing, but there's only so much one's own house will hold.
My mind has gone completely blank. What are the yummy mummies buying? Table runners? tiny ornate cushions? Got lots of mother of pearl buttons, collected over years, far more than I'll ever use, and trunks of fabric, but absolutely no inspiration, and I'd like to start soon, or I'll lose the impetus, or a large piece of work will come in.
What sort of things do you go "ooh" about, and then go home and make, because you can sew?
