I thought I should share two sewing related blogs that I really enjoy – both has very exciting and unique approaches.
Luxirare
This somewhat secretive woman takes sewing and food blogging to a whole new level – both aesthetically and in terms of skills. She even makes her own shoes! She is very fashion forward, I love this dress/top with a neckline decorated with zippers, it almost look like metal pearls. As I am a nosy reporter I couldn’t help googeling her a bit, her name is Ji Kim and she is a former Parson student
When I prowl Antrophologie and other similar similar retail sites looking for inspiration I often find myself wondering “how do they do that?” Well Suzannah of Adventures in dressmaking has the answers. I love her tutorials on how to knock off seemingly complicated embellishing and other stuff.
