The Make Spot Blog
This term, I’m excited to dive into a new project with some of our Make Spot Sewers that takes me back to my own days studying contour fashion. We’ll be working on creating a corset, and I’m drawing inspiration from Vivienne Westwood’s iconic 1990s Portrait Corset.
It’s hard to miss the effortless elegance of the Princess of Wales, especially when she steps out in her favourite Breton top. Did you spot her wearing one in her video congratulating Team GB after the Olympics? This classic striped shirt has become a go-to in her wardrobe, proving that its appeal transcends centuries and fashion trends.

We wanted to take a moment to thank our customers who don't get the chance to visit our studio and take part in our workshops and classes. It's always a delight when we receive fabric orders from places in the world we love or have only dreamt of visiting – from Canada and the USA to Australia and beyond, or closer to home in Europe, we've shipped special fabrics to customers around the world.
We've had a fun, busy and productive week at The Make Spot. It has been our first full week of courses.
