Welcome to Indie Clothes

I asked myself , Why am I doing this blog? I started thinking about my Needlework lessons at school and the way they made me feel – bad. My school apron was the laughing stock and I made a pig’s ear of my simple-wrap-around-sleeveless-top. Most of the other girls were neat and seemed to share the ability to follow patterns and use sewing machines. I however was pattern dyslexic and they still fill me with horror to this very day.I’ve come to the conclusion that this must be why I admire people who make their own clothes. Of course I’d rather give my money to small independent businesses rather than large corporations as well. Do let me know of any school-sewing-horror-stories you might have experienced and I’ll put them on the site.
