A Dress a day....
if only I could sew - id make heaps of dresses because at the moment I open my wardrobe every morning and find absolutely nothing to wear!
its frustrating... and embarrasing - im sure the other mothers at the school think I only have one outfit:
jeans and a jumper (in summer its jeans and a Tshirt)
well i cant sew but I have made a bunch of paper dress gift tags - cut, then glue to cardstock so they are nice and durable, then I cut out again - team up with pretty ribbons and lets play dress ups! its all good fun!

You need to learn, I am sure with your great eye for detail you would do super. Love the paper ones.

I love your paper dresses! I can only sew basics so I can't sew dresses or things with sleeves =(
But your so talented I wouldn't be surprised if you could sew later on =)

These paper dresses are just wonderful. Your blog is so inspirational. i want to get out my paper & scissors and starting creating. I can't remember the last time I sewed (perhaps age 13).

They are beautiful! Very creative.

I agree... wouldn't it be just wonderful to be able to sew? And to create lovely clothing exactly like you have in mind (avoiding crowded shopping centres would be a plus also)

Your paper dresses are just beautiful! Love the little brooches:)

I just love them. They look fantastic. I'm fascinated by the way as artists we grow and develop our styles and work. It's great to watch your journey with your paper goods.

With all the kaftans back in fashion this year, I feel the urge to sew, myself! It shouldn;t be that difficult, if I decide to accept failure as part of the process, aka spoiling some yards of not so precious fabric!
