So today I was in Waterstones, looking at the craft section which, for some reason, is on a completely different floor from the art & design section (in fact I think they call it 'craft and hobbies') and I was looking at the sewing books & feeling pissed off. I took this picture then showed it to @alabamathirteen to ask why I was so pissed off. And she said it's because it's atrocious, that's why 😄. All that pink. Flowery dresses. Pastel polka dots. Mumsy crap. Hobbies. Little women hobbies. I sew. A lot. None of this stuff represents me! It's not a fucking hobby you fuckers @waterstonesleeds Also, Rosie, your book was here. I moved it to the front as that is an actual real book about sewing @rosie_diycouture (at Waterstones Leeds)

Before I started sewing, I don't recall trying to photograph my own arse at all. New leggings! Fabric from @fabworksmillshop, pattern by @megannielsenpatterns as part of #sewmystyle #virginialeggings

I've made some excellent leggings & demand a round of applause.

'Scuse my weird feet, but I like how the same pattern looks different in different weight fabrics. I think the #granvilleshirt looks great in floppy fabrics. #monkeytoes

Bought this sparkly PVC. Think I'm going to make a raincoat 😁

#shirtdresssewalong with @mccallpatterncompany @mccallpatternuk. Story so far: this is #M6696 in a sheer fabric from @abakhanfabrics. Still needs a bit of hand sewing & some buttons. Loving it though 😍 (at Headingley)

Walked past the Ministry of Perfect Angles (it's actually a car park. Disappointing, huh)
