Do you make your own clothes? Next year I’m really hoping to use what I have in my wardrobe more and creatively customise. I also want to learn to make my own clothing! I've said this previously, but I can't think of a better time than now, as my very talented friend has recently launched @digitalpatternlibrary . Alexandra is the creative director of @xandrajanedesign which has 'a sustainable approach to high end fashion'. Her pattern library was becoming so popular that she decided to give it its own platform. I'm so excited to see what designs she has in store for 2019, I'm already loving the culottes and belted sweater! . . . So this is my accountability post for sewing my own clothes!! ....Just need to find more hours in the day now to get it done?! 📸 @digitalpatternlibrary
This year I’ve made even more of a conscious effort to be more thoughtful when buying clothing and accessories. In fact, since January I’ve only bought one new item of of clothing (my beautifully comfy @lucyandyak dungarees purchased just over a week ago!) Post pregnancy/birth and it was very tempting to pop into .....insert cheap fast store... and buy a haul of clothing to ‘make do’ whilst my body shape settled back to ‘normal’. Instead I scavenged the pages of @ebay and discovered that not only am I a bit addicted to being an EBay winner 😬but there are a wealth of bargains to be had there too - who knew?! 🙄 My best buy was my gorgeous @thoughtclothing maxi dress which was also great as I could breastfeed easily in it and there aren't many bf friendly dresses out there! What's your best Ebay fashion buy? . . . 📸 @fash_rev
