My Style

What is my style? Good question I'm looking around my room and it says "you have none".  I have more t-shirts than a woman should have. In my wardrobe I have 5 Rugby League jerseys, about 7 white tops, about 10 colourful tops, 5 maxi dresses (I say maxi dresses       not because I know, I am guessing) and 5 very pretty formal dresses.
I think my problem could be the fact that I am not a good shopper and never know what it is I'm looking for and if I do find something more offen than not I don't try it on. I know I'm a stupid cow but I am 45 years old and have lived my life thinking clothes weren't that important to me, however as it turns out clothes are very important to me I just have no idea.

I'm thinking that step one should be going through all my clothes and actully putting them on and really looking at how it fits on me. It is at this point I will need some help as I am picking clothes because of how they look on the hanger and not how they will look on me. I also don't seem to have any idea how clothes are meant to look if my past is anything to go by. So I will hunt out some classic photos from my past and put up so photos of my wardrobe and hopefully I can start to find my style and by finding my style this will help me with my sewing once I start on that later on.

Cheers

Learning Fashion

Ask around my friends and they will tell you I have no real idea about fashion.  95% of my life I wear jeans and a t-shirt.  But I do really like pretty things. In my wardrobe I you will find two Annah Stretton dresses and I will not say how much they were. A World top and far to many shoes and boots. I have always liked fashion but have never quite left the "tomboy" stage.  So I have decided to learn about fashion through design and sewing.
Will I be any good? Who knows but I am 45 years old and have nothing to lose so I am going for it.

I have got a notebook, a sewing starter kit and no idea what I'm doing. What could go wrong.  So I've started at the basics: Hand sewing/double-stitch tailor tracking, Single-stitch tailor tracking and Trace tracking. Reading about different styles and sewing them onto small pieces of fabric then putting them in the note. Walked around the local fabric store taking photo of different types of fabrics and buttons etc, thinking about how much I want to know how to use all these fabrics, how will they fall, set on the body. Looking up different looks putting them in my notebook.

I work so this could take some months but I am going to sign up to a online design/dressmaking course soon.  My spelling is not the best but I will try and make my posts as good as I can. I'm excited to know if I can sew and if I can design.
