Here’s a conundrum for sewists. Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen is quoted in this month’s British Vogue: “We always make things up in the actual fabric, not canvas. You can’t tell what it’s going to be like unless it’s the real thing.” Is she right? Always, or only for certain fabrics? And if money were no object, would you always toile/muslin in the actual fabric? Plus - how amazing is the dress on the RH page?! #sewists #totoileornottotoile #alexandermcqueen #vogueuk_september
More kidswear action on the blog today: a straight-up, no bells or whistles, stripey, viscose jersey Oliver + S School Bus T-shirt for my favourite 5-year old. Complete with extra length and his now-trademark BHA (that’s a Big Head Adjustment…!) [Link in profile]

No sewing today, but plenty of baking! One raspberry Eton mess cake, complete with mini meringues. 🍰
No sombreros or fudge came back in my holiday suitcase. Just a roll of washi tape - perfect for lining up this 3/4” hem! 🤓 #weirdsouvenirs #sewistonholiday #twinneedle
