Just taking a break from the mammoth sewing marathon I’ll currently engaged in… The Magpie market is only a few days away now – Sunday to be precise…and still so much I want to make before then!
The motif of the dress is a popular metaphor in the art world for the female gender. I’ve had it in mind, for a while, to make something dress shaped. Here’s what I came up with – brooches, made with scraps of vintage & recycled fabrics, embellished with little stitches, beads and sequins. So now my days of mini-dress wearing needn’t be over!
And, two of my favourite dress songs , which fill me with nostalgia for dresses, dancing and very LOUD music!
…which leads nicely to a short you tube video of Polly Harvey and David Byrne talking about their creative process – its an absolute gem.
