Evolution of a dress make. Gorgeous emerald liquid satin.💚 My client could not decide what she wanted, so it evolved over a couple of months and now I'm left with it. Approx size 8-10 if anyone is interested or I'll be taking it to Rowcroft hospice charity shop. #nixstitches #satin #dressmaking
French seams! Making something special, and giving it a polished finish with hidden seams 😍 Using @whiteley1760 scissors for the perfect trim! #nixstitches #bride #bridal #scissors
Guess how much fabric? When I was altering a circle skirt maxi dress earlier, we decided to see how much I cut ✂️ off .... Smaller stitches were super helpful and a game of limbo ensued 👌 😅 #fabric #alterations #nixstitches #fun

Horizons Live Prof Brian Cox and Robin Ince (Infinite Monkey Cage) with some spectacular imagery from James Webb telescope, Hubble and digital recreation. I chose this image of the infinite universes with black holes and white holes (a solution to Einstein's equation that Kerr describes). It reminds me of sashiko stitching (once a seamstress...) and will probably inspire some visible mending this week! A show, not a physics lecture honest! #horizonslive #nixstitches #nightout #inspiration #sashiko #briancox #robinince #quantumphysics
