@helenintgarden.bsky.social We have loads of toothpicks and cocktail sticks for similar reasons! A glass headed dressmaking pin is all quite good for applying tiny dots of glue - use the pointed end, the glass head gives you something to hold...

Me too! I was only 14 or 15 and had no money, so took my mum's dressmaking shears to my hair.😱

Style Arc Bobs is my favourite trouser pattern, and I just made another pair. The monochrome brushstroke checks make them look like fancy chefs trousers! #sewing#dressmaking#outfit

Not long after graduating art school, i was daydreaming about what kind of artist workspace i'd like to have, and imagined basically owning a couple floors of a building, lol. imagine those old cutaway diagrams of the Baxter Building but with "painting studio", "dressmaking studio", "audio" etc.
