seamstress dreamstress

At the moment, i am in a rut...my mind is not on my head half of the time, and the half of time it is in there its disgruntled. moving house, selling corsets, knowing i have to branch out, but WHERE TO START???!! oh em gee. its allll so much and doing it on my own! i knooowww i have all the support and encouragement i need from friends, family, boyfriend etc, but i mean someone who's sat on the table next to me sharing the jobs... i know id probably hate it once i had a partner, but i could really do with someone cutting things and i sew them up, or vise versa, or someone to overlock after iv sewed..yanno? so its done FASTER. Iv been talking, or rather moaning to mum about it..and shes a pretty good woman to bounce ideas off.. anyway, so shes been calling me ALL day, keeps having new ideas, or seeing things..well, she just told me about a service she read about in the times magazine or something..anyway..it is this:

Henry Herbert of Saville Row, London have started offering a come to you service for personal tailoring. they have a fleet of tailors who are sent out on Vespa scooters (i know!! ^_^). Now, it is saville row after all, so its pricey, BUT you get a man who comes to your house with chalk pins and a tape measure..and probably a sample book, measures you, fits you and then goes away again to make your suit/shirt whatever.

Henry Herbert website :)

WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!!! i want a vespa and a little bag full of seamstressy/tailoressy bits, and to travel to someone and make them whatever they want..what would be even better would be being able to charge £89 for a shirt and £595 for a suit...mmyes. sooo yes, i thought id share that with you :)

love xxxx
