It has now been a shameful 3 weeks since I did the sewing course and I've not picked up a needle since. The main barrier being the lack of machine at my disposal. The plan was to go this weekend to pick one up but what with Bikram yoga at 9am on Saturday morning, following by the Richard Serra exhibition in Kings Cross, shopping and then drinks at my friends, I didn't get time.
I did go to Brick Lane on Sunday, even though I was really hungover, for a beautiful day in the sunshine with my brother and friends. We headed for the revamped Spitalfields market which has some fantastic things. I picked up a couple of cotton vest tops; one white one with silver jewels on the neckline, and one black with a blue flower and material sewn onto the front, down one side. It broke my heart because the designer was selling them at £5 each, normal retail price was £25 but she had to meet her targets for that day so was flogging them cheap. To be fair, it didn't pull on the heart strings enough to affect the purse strings and offer her full price. There's a credit crunch don't you know. To cut a long story short, the trip to Spitalfields revived my enthusiasm for dressmaking and I'm resolved to purchasing a machine in the next two weeks.
