Fashion Write is a blog about fashion, sewing and fabric trends that takes an interesting and entertaining approach to the site owner’s passion for all things clothing-related. The best blogs are those created around a person’s interest in a specific subject, as an outlet for their enthusiasm, and this would certainly describe Fashion Write. If you have an interest in making your own clothes, I’d suggest you go take a look at the site.
Recent articles include an humorous account of a Saturday afternoon sewing group meeting with everyone ‘getting plastered’ i.e. making custom dress forms with rough instructions on how a reader could create a form for herself. Another article covered the construction of a basic muslin pant shell that was similarly informative.
Fashion Write is a WordPress blog, with categories on fabric, fashion trends and sewing/fitting garments. While the look of the site is fairly standard, it’s the writing that makes this blog really stand out. For anyone with an interest in making one’s own clothes and clothing design in general I highly recommend this site. It offers a lot more than the latest news on what celebrities are wearing; rather it is concerned with giving you actionable information on techniques you can use yourself to get creative and save money by making your own fashion statements.
Fashion Write is a site that anyone with an interest in subjects related to do-it-yourself clothes making and sewing will want to bookmark and revisit frequently. As quickly as fashion trends evolve there is clearly no end to the need for commentary on the subject as well as hands-on tips for making your own clothes. It is, after all, an activity that is much older than simply buying everything at retail clothing stores; Fashion Write parallels the current resurgence of interest in DIY garment making generally. Great site!NULL
