Sorry for my complete lack of posting last week – I was on holiday, got completely lazy and I really wasn’t wearing anything worth taking a photo of any way. I know I haven’t replied to any comments lately and I haven’t forgotten about those two lovely ladies who tagged me with memes, I hope I’ll get round to doing them this week.
While I was being lazy, I did manage to get some sewing for the shop done before my sewing machine went all crazy again with the tension for the third time!! I’m wondering about whether I need to just bite the bullet and buy a new one, my only problem with this solution is that I’ve only had my machine for about three years. I did manage to cut out and over lock (serge) about 8 skirts though after my machine went back to be fixed and they are now hanging over Madeline (my dress form) waiting to be sewn together.
I have oodles of ideas for the shop and really just want to get started sewing, but can’t due to my silly machine! The end of May can’t come soon enough as far as I am concerned, I am very excited about opening the shop, even though I have a ton of work to do and lots of things to organise.
I’ll post the picture of my prototype skirt next week and hopefully by then I’ll have some questions to ask you all. I have a marketing degree and its kicking in with the need to define my target audience and figure out what they really want which means asking you a bunch of questions about the product I’ll be producing. So if you do want to help me out with a little market research please just flick me an email prettylittlepictures@gmail.com, it won’t take long and will be of much use to me and my little fledgling shop.
The dress I’m wearing is a beautiful vintage one. It’s made of wool and is as warm as can be, and it has fluttery sleeves – lovely!

Grey wool is my second favourite fabric, right after white linen. And those tights look fabulous with the shoes!
Love the red tights! I just bought some. And purple, and navy...
I noticed you commented on my (old) blog. I have a new (& better) one if you are interested http:/thislittlepiggie.tumblr.com
Looking forward to see your skirts for the shop.
That dress is amazing! Cute with the tights, too. :) I would love to help you with market research - I'll email you.
Oh, and I added a link to your blog on mine!
Good to see you again :) Hope your vacation was a nice one!
Pretty dress, it looks like it has interesting buttons too, does it?
I hope you enjoyed your holiday and your machine stops behaving badly. I laughed when I read the name of your dressform, as mine is named Matilda (affectionately refered to as "Matils" by the bf).

Your red lips and the red tights with the neutral color are so great together!
