Artwork Description

When I heard that Simplicity sewing pattern company was folding, and that there is only one printing company remaining that produces paper patterns on tissue, I felt it was time to revisit the theme of home sewing. Yes, patterns are becoming available as a PDF but who on earth wants to print out, then tape together, a 20 page pattern? In the yellow background, I've written sewing vocabulary under layers of paint - barely visible - just like this disappearing home skill. Edges painted white.

Artist Statement
After painting as a full time artist for the past 15 years, I've decided to just leave some previous works available here as prints only. No originals. It is unfortunately no longer financially viable to try and sell original work on this site when my returns after two recent increases in commission from BT, increases in shipping, material costs etc mean my actual proceeds from a sale are quite small. Thanks to my collectors and followers these past years. I wish you all the very best.
