So, I want to make my own clothes, well jeans in particular. I've become slightly attached to a Singer 128k that I bought for my Fiancé for Christmas last year. I've actually used it more than her! Weird for a guy I know.
My love of making things sparked from American jean maker Roy who started making patterns at home and has now got a workshop making selvedge denim jeans all by himself using only old machines, no mod cons. However it wasn't for long time after seeing his work that I even considered making anything.
Fast forward many months and I discovered Taylor Tailor's blog that inspired me further to actual make something to wear. He goes through his adventure from knowing little about sewing to making jeans, shirts and jackets from his own patterns.
Now having two Singer machines, the aforementioned 128k and a recently acquired 306k (which needs a new pedal) I am determined to cobble together something the resembles a piece of clothing.
Watch this space...
