Sew Custom's video: Sewing Vlog - The Process from Inspiration to End Design

Hi folks, this weeks video is something a little bit different….. I’m attempting to answer some questions you guys frequently ask; Where do you get your inspiration from? What is the process between inspiration and end design? Filming this style of video is way out of my comfort zone but I’ve tried to give as much info as possible. Hopefully you will find it useful and indeed enjoyable.
