I have developed a seriously damaging fetish for Alannah Hill things.. the girliness of it all, the laces, the ribbons, silk and polkadots - it's seriously becoming somewhat borderline dangerous :p I have been to the boutique almost everyday for the past few days, and bought just as many items..
...so given that alannah hill purchases could be seriously damaging to the bank account, I'm going to take affirmative action first, and learn to sew! hehe I've sourced out a few *beginners* sewing machines and even looked at some patterns. I've picked out some deliciously girly patterns that could mimic alannah hill any day , and of course, i have this genius thought that I will be able to sew every single one of them at first try, and be extremely happy and satisfied.
In reality, i know that I'm going to end up with many hours of tears over crooked seams, botched hems, machine jams, and just an utter failure in sewing machine skills.. So, this time i'm going to be smart and get some lessons to go with my sewing machine (which i'm still deciding between the CUTEST looking brother sewing machine or the functional but ugly SINGER machine), and do it all properly from the beginning :)
eheh so like all crafty things that kae embarks on, I will report my failures and successes - whether or not you're interested, and probably end up giving up in the end ;)

PS> if you happen to see me in the city with an ill fitting item, please let me know that my sewing is not up to "public awareness" standard yet :)
